Welp, it was a good run. Ok, it was a decent run. Ok, it was a barely-above-average run that was bound to crash and burn. Most things in life, be they progression or regression, are rarely linear. There are ebbs and flows, fits and starts et cetera. Cougar Football is a good example. After a disastrous debut for Mike Leach in 2012, the 2013 bowl team came out of nowhere and things seemed to be headed in the right direction.
Then 2014 happened, and we were right back to where we were, record-wise. WSU’s progress has been somewhat linear since then, until 2019.
