There are good college football weekends and there are bad college football weekends.Then there's what happened to Washington State.The Cougars set a number of FBS and Pac-12 records behind quarterback Connor Halliday on Saturday but lost a heartbreaker to California 60-59 thanks to a mi sed field goal as time expired from point-blank range.For that last reason and more, decided to make a change and Jim Cain Jersey let special-teams coach Eric Ru sell go on Monday. Ru sell's duties will be divided up among the rest of the staff."We made a change at special Jameson Williams Jersey teams and, well, I think a great deal of coach Ru sell, but we wanted to split the special teams up among the a sistants and the way he's most effective is with him running the whole thing," Leach said . "He's a great coach. Yeah, I decided to make a change at special teams."In addition to the 19-yard attempt that went wide right to cost the team the game, Washington State gave up back-to-back kick returns for touchdowns in KhaDarel Hodge Jersey the third quarter to Cal's Trevor Davis. Those are certainly fireable offenses after a tough lo s, but the i sues on special teams started well before Saturday's game.The Cougars currently rank 102nd in the country in kick-return defense, which is a bit of an i sue given how often Alim McNeill Jersey the team scores on offense. They're also 92nd in punt-return defense and among the bottom half of teams when it comes to returns themselves.Offensive quality control a sistant Eric Mele will take over some of Ru sell's duties and was elevated to one of the program's nine full-time coaches. "Really a lot of the same administrative stuff he was doing before and he'll head up the special teams but deal it out among the a sistants and just kind of keep it organized," Leach added.Ru sell had given Wazzu's special teams a boost when he was initially hired at the school, but unfortunately got the quick hook in 2014 after some serious i sues cost the team at Daryl Worley Jersey least one win in the record book.You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at .
