The trip from Boca Raton, Florida to Pullman, Washington is about as far as one can go in college athletics. From the sunny shores of the Atlantic to the snow capped hills of the Palouse, it’s quite a change when you’re looking for a new job. Florida Atlantic AD Pat Chun was the first interview of eight semifinalists to come to Pullman and, after more than an hour in front of the search committee, WSU President Kirk Schulz said one member remarked:
“I think we’re done.”
As it turned out, those other seven interviews were, in fact, unneeded.
