Co a c h Wu l ff ’s Th o u g h t s En t e r i n g Sp r i n g Pr a c t i c e

Are you excited to finally get going? I am very excited to get going. In fact the best our coaches have felt is when we are with the current players working out. It’s exciting just to get on the field finally and get to work.

How has the off-season condition program gone? The off-season workouts have gone well. It is more or less creating an expectation of how we are going to do our daily business. The intensity and effort now has to carry over onto the football field because we need to practice with that same level of intensity and mental focus.

How important is spring ball to a football program? In this situation it is very important. We have new coaches and players trying to get better and learn the system. As a coaching staff we are getting to know the players and what they are capable of doing. This is a very critical time for us. I think it always is in a program when there has been change, at least for the first two springs if you can get a system in place.After you get to years four, five and six, then you have a better feel of where everybody is at relative to youR program. It is going to take us a couple of years to get a great feel of exactly where we are.

Spring practice is usually a time to focus on technique yet with a new staff you also have to incorporate a completely new system. What are the challenges of doing that? The bottom line is we need to get everything in. We need to teach scheme and teach technique. We only have so much time and we need to utilize all the time we have available from meetings to time on the field. eW have a lot to cover and we will get there. It is our jobs as coaches to make sure we keep it simple enough and that our teachings are very efficient so ultimately we are executing properly.

How is the new coaching staff coming together? We are all working hard to make sure we are on the same page and conveying the same message. The nice thing is I am familiar with all the guys and everyone is very comfortable with each other. Everyone’s goal is the same, to have our program perform at a high level. All of these guys are team guys and don’t have their own agendas. I know that is how the staff is and ultimately how it needs to be for us to succeed.

How is the injuries situation heading into spring ball? We are still a little limited with a few guys. Unfortunately, Jared Bjerkestrand torE his Achilles tendon in a workout so he is out. We were hoping he would have a solid spring at the receiver position. Ben Woodard is still limited following his hernia surgery after last season. Steven Ayers isn’t going to be cleared 100 percent for contact drills after shoulder surgery last fall. Devin Giles is being held out of all football activities so he can focus on his academics. Dwight Tardy is not cleared for spring but he is on track and doing very well. By summer workouts he should be cleared to do everything and with a good-hard summer in front of him he should be ready to go in fall camp.

With the new coaching staff is it fair to say every player has an equal opportunity to prove themselves? I believe every player has a clean slate. We have asked them to do certain things a certain way. Some of them have made some mistakes and we have worked on correcting those so they don’t occur again. Every kid deserves an opportunity. There are some players who maybe felt they didn’t have a fair opportunity in the past, whether they did or didn’t really doesn’t matter at this point. They all have an opportunity to prove themselves and show consistency in their daily lives. We as coaches are here to help these guys get better. We want to do our best to bring these guys together and form a team.

He a d Co a c h Pa u l Wu l ff Following the 2007 season, Washington State University Athletics Director Jim Sterk began a national search for the Cougars’ next head football coach. At the conclusion of the season, Washington State hired one of its own as former student-athlete Paul Wulff was named the Cougars 31st head coach, Dec. 10, 2007.

Wulff becomes WSU’s 31st head coach and the first WSU football letterwinner and graduate to lead the Cougars since served as head coach from 1945-49.

“We conducted an extensive national search and met with some outstanding candidates,” said Sterk. “In the end I feel we hired the best person for the job. Paul has had success as a head coach, has great passion for this job and this university, and is a man of great character and integ- rity.

“With this hire, I feel we’ve come full circle,” Sterk continued. “Coach Wulff is the epitome of the values we’re looking for in our head football coach. Again, integrity, student-athlete well-being, pride, passion and excellence. Some people that do not know Coach Wulff will be surprised by this hire. Those that know him believe it is the best hire I could ever make.”

A 1990 graduate of WSU and a four-year letterwinner, Wulff has spent the previous 15 seasons at Eastern Washington University, the final eight as head coach. There he amassed a record of 53-40. During his eight-year head coaching tenure Wulff was named Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year three times (2001, 2004, 2005) and led the Eagles into the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs three times in the last four years.

“Obviously this has been a dream of mine since I joined the coaching profession,” said Wulff, who replaces Bill Doba, the former Cougar coach who spent 19 years on the sideline at WSU, the last five as head coach. “It is my alma mater, a university with great tradition and a program I feel very strongly about. WSU is an important place in my development as a human being with respect to the university culture. Being named head coach is the biggest honor I have ever received and I am excited about the opportunity.”

“Twenty-two years ago, in February of 1985, I signed a letter of intent to Washington State University. I was obligated to that, and I committed to it, and I chose this university over five other Pac-10 schools at that time. I am back 22 years later, and I am committed for another five years. I will make the most of it and do everything in my power to create an environment that everyone who is a Cougar can be proud of. It’s going to take some work. There is some building we need to do and some culture changes we need to make. We need to put ourselves in a position where everybody can be proud of the student-athletes in this program both on and off the field on a consistent basis.”

Wulff began his coaching career at EWU in 1993 as a volunteer assistant working with the offensive line. He was named offensive line/strength coach the following season and spent four years in the position before being promoted to offensive coordinator/offensive line/strength coach in 1998.

Wulff coached 21 players to 54 Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) All-America honors in his first seven years at the helm of the EWU program, and two more of his players were named to the Sports Network’s 2007 FCS All-America team at the conclusion of last year. Of the 21 players to earn All-America recognition, 15 have been offensive lineman.

Additionally, Wulff has mentored 15 players who have earned 18 total CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII honors and a total of 131 All-Big Sky Conference Academic team members.

As a student-athlete and four-year starter at center for the Cougars from 1986-89, Wulff was an All-America honoree himself as a senior, earning honorable mention accolades from The Sporting News. Wulff started at center under three different coaches after redshirting in 1985. He played for Jim Walden in 1986, Dennis Erickson from 1987-88 and Mike Price in 1989. He was also a member of WSU’s 1988 Aloha Bowl champion- ship team.

A 1985 graduate of Davis High School in Davis, Calif., Wulff redshirted in 1985 and started four games at guard in 1986 under Jim Walden.

Dennis Erickson directed the program in 1987 and 1988 with Wulff as his starting center both years. In 1988, the Cougars were victorious in the Aloha Bowl as Wulff earned honorable mention All-Pacific 10 Conference honors.

Under Mike Price in 1989, Wulff earned second team all-conference honors and was an honorable mention selection on the Sporting News All- America squad. He was also WSU’s long snapper during his stay there.

After a successful collegiate career Wulff had a brief pro career as a center after graduating from WSU in 1990. He signed a free agent contract with the , but was released after injuring an ankle and a rib in the preseason. He played in spring 1991 with Raleigh-Durham of the World League, then played in spring 1992 with New York-New Jersey.

Wulff was born Feb. 25, 1967, in Woodland, Calif. He and his wife Sherry have a 12-year-old daughter, Katie, and two sons, four-year-old Max and one-year-old Sam. 2008 Wa s h i n g t o n St a t e Fo o t b a l l 2008 Wa s h i n g t o n St a t e Un i v e r s i t y Fo o t b a l l Sp r i n g Pr o s p e c t u s

Co u g a r As s i s t a n t Co a c h e s CHRIS BALL Ball, 44, returns to Pullman after spending the 2007 season as secondary coach at the University of Pittsburgh under head coach Dave Wannstedt. During his only campaign the Panthers ranked fourth nationally in pass defense (167.3 ypg) and seventh in total defense (297.7 ypg). Prior to that Ball served four seasons coaching the secondary at Alabama, having moved from Pullman when Price was named head coach at Alabama following the 2002 season. While at Alabama, Ball coached a Crimson Tide secondary that in 2004 led the nation in pass defense, allowing just 113.1 passing yards per game. That same year Alabama ranked second in pass efficiency defense. The following season the Alabama secondary ranked fifth in both pass defense (160.8 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (97.8 rating), and the Crimson Tide ranked second nationally in total defense. In 2006 Ball oversaw the progress of free safety Roman Harper, who earned All-SEC honors and was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back. From 2000-02 Ball served under Price coaching WSU’s defensive backs, mentoring such Cougar greats as Lamont Thompson, Jason David, Marcus Trufant and Erik Coleman. During his three seasons WSU’s defense compiled 56 , including 26 during the 2001 campaign, which tied for second nationally. That season Thompson set a WSU single-season record and led the Pacific-10 Conference with 10 interceptions en route to All-America honors. The following season Trufant earned first-team All-Pac-10 and second-team All-America honors under the tutelage of Ball. Trufant, who was drafted 11th overall by the Seahawks in 2003, was part of a secondary that included three other current NFL players: David (New Orleans), Coleman (Atlanta) and Hamza Abdullah (Denver). The St. Louis, Mo., native and 1981 graduate of Webster Grove High played football at Missouri Western State College and later served as a graduate assistant and defensive coordinator at his alma mater. The 1985 All-American defensive back coached at both Northeast Missouri State (1986-87) and Akron (1987-88) before joining Price’s staff in 1989. He coached at Coffeyville Community College (1990-94), Western Oregon State College (1995-96) and Missouri Western State (1997-98). Prior to joining the Cougar staff in 2000, Ball spent the 1999 season as defensive coordinator for Idaho State Head Coach Larry Lewis.

STEVE BROUSSARD One of WSU’s all-time great running backs, Steve Broussard returned to his alma mater in January of 2007 as running backs coach under then head coach Bill Doba. When Paul Wulff was named the Cougars 31st head coach in December, 2007, he wasted no time naming his former Cougar teammate to his staff as running backs coach and special teams coordinator. Broussard arrived at WSU after spending the previous three seasons at Portland State, the first as running backs coach and the following two in charge of wide receivers. In 2004 the Vikings led the Big Sky in rushing, averaging 204.4 yards per game. The following season he coached Shaun Bodiford to All-Big Sky honors while developing a young group of receivers. Prior to Portland State, Broussard spent four year as a high school coach, the final two as head coach at Diamond Ranch High School in Pomona, Calif. Broussard’s coaching career began in 2000 as offensive coordinator at Don Lugo High School in Chino, Calif., before moving to a similar role at Diamond Ranch in 2001. Broussard was the 20th overall pick in the 1990 draft by the Atlanta Falcons where he spent the first four years of his NFL career. He spent the 1994 season with the then the final four years of his career with the Seattle Seahawks. Over his nine-year career, Broussard rushed for 2,625 yards and 19 while catching 126 passes for 882 yards and three scores. During his four-year Cougar career, Broussard was known as the most versatile back in WSU history. He completed his career third on the all-time rushing list, fifth on the career receiving list and owned two of the top three single-season rushing marks. At one point he held nine WSU career or single-season records.

HAROLD ETHERIDGE A 19-year veteran of the collegiate coaching ranks, Harold Etheridge was named the Cougars’ offensive line coach in January, 2008. Etheridge most recently served as the offensive line coach at Northern Illinois during the 2007 season. There he coached tackle John Brost, an All-Mid Ameri- can Conference and MAC All-Academic selection. Prior to Northern Illinois, Etheridge spent three seasons as the offensive line coach at the University of North Texas. During his first season the Mean Green led the Sun Belt Conference and ranked 23rd nationally in rushing offense at 196.3 ypg, paced by nation’s leader Jamario Thomas at 180.1 ypg. In 2005 Thomas again rushed for 1,000 yards while the offensive line ranked among the league leaders in fewest sacks allowed. North Texas linemen earned five all-conference honors in his three seasons at the school. Etheridge is no stranger to members of the Cougar staff, having served alongside current Cougar assistants Sears and Niekamp while all three were on Todd Berry’s staff at Army. Etheridge spent four seasons as the Black Knight’s offensive line coach (2000-03), where in 2001 and 2002 Army led Conference USA in fewest sacks allowed. In 2000, the offensive line paced the way for Michael Wallace, whose 115.7 ypg were tops in Conference USA and 16th nationally. From 1991-99 Etheridge served as the offensive line coach at Illinois State under head coach Jim Heacock (1991-95) and Todd Berry (1996-99). The 1998 squad reached the Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs while the 1999 team advanced to the national semifinals after capturing the Gateway Conference title. That team finished the year ranked No. 3. During his nine seasons Etheridge coached eight players to 12 all-conference honors and two players, Mike Rodbro and Andy Ziebarth, to All-America status. Throughout his coaching career Etheridge has coached four All-Americans, 10 all-conference performers and two current NFL players. The Gallup, N.M., native began his Division I coaching career in 1989 at Kentucky, where he spent three seasons and a graduate assistant coach working with the offensive tackles. He spent seven seasons in the prep coaching ranks at Gallup (N.M.) High School (1983-86) and Louisville’s Ballard (Ky.) HS (1987-89). At Gallup, his teams made four playoff appearances and were district champs each year. Etheridge was a four-year starting offensive guard for Western New Mexico (1979-82), garnering all-conference honors after his junior and senior seasons. Following graduation, Etheridge spent two seasons as the offensive line coach at Western New Mexico in 1982 and 1983. He earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing and management from the school in 1982.

Co u g a r As s i s t a n t Co a c h e s MIKE LEVENSELLER The senior statesman on the Cougar coaching staff, Mike Levenseller begins his 17th year on the Cougar sideline where he serves as wide receivers coach on Paul Wulff’s staff. Levenseller has been on the Cougar staff since the beginning of the 1992 season, when he began working with Cougar wide receivers under then-head coach Mike Price. Prior to the 2001 season, Levenseller added offensive coordinator duties to his day-to-day work with wide receivers. As the offensive coordinator, the Cougar pass offense finished in the top 21 nationally each season, including eighth in 2007, 10th in 2001 and 13th in 2002. WSU finished in the top 20 nationally in total offense in each of his first two yeas as coordinator, including an eighth-place finish in 2005. Levenseller and eight other receivers he has coached comprise WSU’s single-season top 10 receiving yardage list, including senior Brandon Gibson, who set the single-season record with 1,180 receiving yards in 2007. Under Levenseller’s guidance, Jason Hill broke the 1,000-yard mark twice (2005-06), becoming the only WSU receiver with two 1,000-yard campaigns. Additionally, five different receivers have recorded 1,000-yard seasons under Levenseller while 10 different players have spent time with NFL clubs. Prior to returning to Washington State, Levenseller coached wide receivers for the of the League (1990-91), where he mentored the league’s receiver of the year in 1990 (Darrell Smith) and 1991 (Raghib Ismail). He began his coaching career in 1986 with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL, working with wide receivers as a guest coach. A sixth-round draft pick by the Oakland Raiders of the 1978 NFL Draft, Levenseller spent three years in the NFL with Buffalo, Tampa Bay and Cin- cinnati, was a member of the -winning Edmonton Eskimos in 1982 and concluded his playing career with Calgary, 1983-85, of the CFL. Levenseller completed his WSU playing career by being selected to the Pacific-8 First Team, the AP All-West Coast First Team and the AP All- America honorable mention squad in 1978. Levenseller caught 121 passes in his career to rank third on WSU’s all-time list and eighth on the league list. His 2,061 career receiving yards ranked second on WSU’s all-time list as he was one of only seven receivers to top 2,000 yard mark in Pac-8 history. In 1992 he was inducted into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame and in 2006 was inducted into the Pacific Northwest Football Hall of Fame.

TRAVIS NIEKAMP When Paul Wulff began putting his staff together after being named Washington State University’s head football coach in December, 2007, he didn’t have to look far for his linebackers coach. Travis Niekamp, who coached linebackers on Wulff’s staff at Eastern Washington University from 2004-07, arrived with Wulff in Pullman in a similar role. Niekamp is one of five former EWU coaches from Wulff’s staff at Eastern Washington now serving on the Cougars’ coaching staff. Before joining the EWU staff in 2004, Niekamp spent the previous four years at the United States Military Academy, where he coached tight ends. While with the Black Knights, he coached with Jody Sears for three seasons. Prior to his stint at Army, Niekamp spent two seasons at his alma mater Illinois State, coaching outside linebackers in 1999 and defensive tackles in 1998. He was an All-Gateway Conference selection in 1996 and 1997, when he played as a defensive lineman, finishing his career with 170 tackles. That figure included eight sacks and 22 total tackles-for-loss. Niekamp was team captain as a senior and was a regular member of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll during his undergraduate days at Illinois State.

He served three years on the Black Knight staff, including the 2001 and 2002 season as cornerbacks coach. In 2000, during his rookie year with Army, he assisted with the defensive line. A 1991 graduate of Washington State University, Sears lettered twice for the Cougars after walking on as a wide receiver. Like Wulff, he played under head coaches Jim Walden, Dennis Erickson and Mike Price during his tenure with the Cougars. He saw limited field duty during the early portion of his Cougar career, then lettered his final two years and finished with 11 career receptions for 118 yards. Sears also served as the holder for All-America placekicker Jason Hansen on field goal and extra point attempts during his senior year. Following a brief coaching stint on the high school level, Sears served as a graduate assistant at Iowa State University, where he helped coach defensive backs and wide receivers from 1994 through 1996 for the Cyclones. He received his master’s degree at Iowa State in 1996.

Sears was born Oct. 21, 1967. He is from Pullman, Wash., and graduated from Pullman High School in 1986. He and his wife Molly have five children, Weston (17), Hannah Jo (5), J.T. (4), Kylee Ann (2) and Charlie Ray (1).

TODD STURDY Todd Sturdy, a former head coach at St. Ambrose University, joined the WSU staff of Paul Wulff in 2008 after serving as Wulff’s offensive coor- dinator at Eastern Washington for the 2007 season. Sturdy was 85-40 in 12 seasons as head coach for the SAU Fighting Bees of Davenport, Iowa. The winningest coach in the program’s history, his SAU teams won five Mid-States Football Association-Midwest League championships and had a 42-8 league record in his last seven seasons at the helm, including six straight playoff appearances.
