Just under two weeks after athletic director Pat Chun relieved Ernie Kent of his duties at Washington State, he already has his new coach. Multiple reports have indicated Wazzu will hire current San Francisco Dons head coach Kyle Smith to lead the program after nine seasons at USF and Columbia.
Last week, university president Kirk Schulz told Cougfan.com that Washington State would go after a “system” coach but not necessarily one that looked like the Bennetts of old.
“We’re going to look for a coach that has a system that is going to work for Pullman,” Schulz told Cougfan.
