The ol’ ball coach was in Spokane this week to kickoff WSU’s week-long series of events leading up to Saturday’s Crimson & Gray Game. A Monday gathering celebrated the Cougs’ memorable win over Texas in the 2003 Holiday Bowl that capped Doba’s first season as head coach. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1178754.html 2047 GREG WITTER http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1178754.html Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:05:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate ASSESSING A new coach's talent is an inexact science, and for Cougar fans it's been a hotly debated subject. In the last decade, Washington State has hired two football coaches, Bill Doba and Paul Wulff, and three men’s basketball coaches, Dick and Tony Bennett and Ken Bone. With the NFL Draft nearly here, CF.C presents this in-depth look from a conference perspective. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1067590.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1067590.html Wed, 27 Apr 2011 16:00:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Washington State Cougars lost $1.6 million on athletics for the past fiscal year, the Cougars said Wednesday. Gifts and pledges, however, were on the increase. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1029486.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1029486.html Wed, 08 Dec 2010 21:46:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate WHENEVER BILL DOBA gets the feeling that he misses coaching college football, he walks to the den of his Vandalia, Mich., home and studies a picture on the wall. It's a crisp shot of Doba's face while the last play of his career as the head coach at Washington State unfolds. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/916051.html 2047 CF.C Compilers http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/916051.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:31:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Paul Wulff the idealist wants his football team to be flawless after five days of practice. Paul Wulff the realist forces himself to take a deep breath and take a more sensible approach. "There were moments of really good stuff and not," the Washington State coach said after the Cougars practiced in full pads for the first time Saturday morning. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/777601.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/777601.html Sat, 09 Aug 2008 21:43:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WITH THE FINAL draft of Paul Wulff’s head coaching contract still at the printers, speculation is already at warp speed on just who the former EWU head man will surround himself with on the Washington State coaching staff. And at first glance, it is a list chockfull of candidates familiar to both Wulff and the Cougar nation. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/710328.html 2047 JOHN C. WITTER http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/710328.html Tue, 11 Dec 2007 09:19:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE STORY IS not without irony. The long reach of Bill Doba may just turn out to play a crucial role in the search for the head coach who will replace him at Washington State. Among the few known to have interviewed for the Washington State post is Kevin Sumlin, the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma. And Sumlin's ties to Doba are compelling -- stretching all the way back to Sumlin's playing days. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/710182.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/710182.html Mon, 10 Dec 2007 23:04:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate IT HAS BEEN a while since I last said “so long” to a WSU football coach. With that goodbye—in December of 2002, to be precise—I maniacally wielded pen to paper in a fit of indignation and a senses-numbing feeling of betrayal, with visions of Bear Bryant, clandestine meetings and private jets dancing in my head. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/706461.html 2047 JOHN C. WITTER http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/706461.html Thu, 29 Nov 2007 03:47:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE PUNDITS ARE WAXING eloquent in the wake of Bill Doba's departure. One called the "mutual decision" the ultimate presidential-candidate flip-flop. Another lauded the "cutting edge human resource-speak." Others noted the irony of a Husky-killing Cougar coach with a winning record being let go. And Bill Moos, who will head the search for a new coach, says WSU has a chance to seize history. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705949.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705949.html Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:59:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate ONCE AGAIN THE crassness of college football has reared its head. Bill Doba has been fired. He was fired as Washington State’s head coach less than 48 hours after leading the Cougars to their third Apple Cup victory over Washington in four years, an accomplishment unprecedented by a WSU coach in the 100-year history of the rivalry. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705818.html 2047 DICK ROCKNE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705818.html Tue, 27 Nov 2007 09:57:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate UPBEAT AND AT EASE, Bill Doba conducted his final press conference as Cougar head coach Monday evening following what he and Jim Sterk termed "a mutual decision" for a change at the top of Cougar football. Bill Moos will help lead a national search for Doba's replacement and Doba will serve in an advisory capacity in that search. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705674.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705674.html Tue, 27 Nov 2007 01:59:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate TWO INDEPENDENT SOURCES close to the WSU Football program who asked not to be identified have confirmed to Cougfan.com that Bill Doba will not be back as the head coach at Washington State for next season. A press conference has been scheduled for 4:30 pm this afternoon with A.D. Jim Sterk and Doba in attendance. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705573.html 2047 The Staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705573.html Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:01:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate Hot News for C Bill Doba http://washingtonstate.scout.com/a.z?s=137&p=9&c=2&cid=705551&nid=3057475&fhn=1 2047 J.V.

Saturday's wild finish to the 100th Apple Cup was so moving that the Voice of the Cougars, Bob Robertson, struggled to hold back tears that can only come out of a happy ending to a storied rivalry. The Cougs played so many games this season without much of a sparkle but suddenly they were in Husky Stadium, going off like an artillery barrage firing for effect. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705139.html 2047 DAN WEAVER http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/705139.html Sun, 25 Nov 2007 16:51:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- With the snow continuing to fall in Pullman, Washington State took it indoors again on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Gibson takes it light, lots of facts and figures, a Husky player provides some bulletin board material and Cougar players talk about all the speculation surrounding their head coach. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/703830.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/703830.html Tue, 20 Nov 2007 22:07:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WHAT DO THE Cougs need to do in order to return to winning seasons and bowl games? Bill Doba offered some solutions during Monday's press conference but whether Doba is the one who will be piloting the ship is another question and one that he was asked directly. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/703423.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/703423.html Mon, 19 Nov 2007 22:14:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate IT TURNS OUT the weekend that saw Washington State eliminated from bowl consideration was not a complete loss. A 6-foot-6 tight end became the Cougars' latest known verbal commitment on Saturday night. Great college players are made, not born, and his prep coach says he's an excellent blocker and pass catcher because of one thing and one thing alone -- work ethic. The lad also has some local ties. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/703247.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/703247.html Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:15:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate Hot News for C Bill Doba http://washingtonstate.scout.com/a.z?s=137&p=9&c=2&cid=700970&nid=3057475&fhn=1 2047 J.V.

Bill Doba in his Tuesday morning press conference talked Cal, but he also talked recruiting, saying successes and challenges in that arena are due to a combination of factors -- and one of them is the internet, and how it affects recruits. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/696290.html 2047 J.V.
