@CougfanCOM Made no difference. Need to make a coaching change after this season.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@CougfanCOM Coaching is the difference. This is Ken Bone basketball.

@CougfanCOM Riley needs to disappear. No command over this team. Pedro Garcia!!!

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@cougsgo Riley needs to go. Has no command over this team.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@GregWWoods Whatever. Done with him.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@RyanDLeaf @WSUCougarFB @CougfanCOM And we all know these coaches are looking for the next best thing. I'm fine if they just talk about what they are going to do for the program and leave it at that. But using words like loyalty in press conferences is disingenuous. If you don't mean what you say then don't say it.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@CougfanCOM Just win, baby!

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@RyanDLeaf @WSUCougarFB @CougfanCOM Appreciate the commentary, Ryan. The underlying issue here is the business side of college sports. It's messy and sometimes downright disgusting. The majority of coaches are exceptional human beings. But they are forced to do business in a system that is in complete disarray.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@cyclonefanatic Until the next best thing...and the next...

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@RyanDLeaf @WSUCougarFB Just hire someone that can win. Wins equal financial support and butts in seats. You know that Ryan. I witnessed it in person when you were at WSU.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@gocougs123 Make sure he has someone keeping an eye on him during March Madness. Good otherwise.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@JacksonLPence All two of you, apparently.

Cougar Family,
I took my 24 hrs to process all of this. I thought back to what I said and how I felt following the last coaching departure. Nothing has changed. Coaches participate in the greatness of WSU - they don’t create it. I’ve yet to see one leave and have success 1)

[John Scukanec @jscukanec]

“So, you just tell them you love them. Tell them all the big things you will accomplish together…how proud you are to be here with them. Then as soon as someone offers you a boatload more money…you just leave.”
“Just like that?”
“Just like that. Everyone does it.”

@johncanzanobft Loyalty doesn't exist in college football anymore. WSU needs to buy wins.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@HuskiesJack Wears a name tag around the house.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@WazzuRogers Jimmy who?

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@JoshGrahamShow Pretty much matched the respect Dickert gave to WSU when he exited last year. Sorry not sorry.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@gocougs123 Of course they did. Choices...leave a dying conference or make a few bucks on Olympic sports until the next college sports cycle. Business decision.

[Grant Buckingham @GCBuckingham]

@gocougs123 @PapaThrow @Trunksthedj Appreciate your honesty @PapaThrow! @Trunksthedj has been amazing. We need him back next year. DM me about the new vendor.
