Welcome back to the latest edition of The Audible, presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Bruce Feldman, joined, as always, by my colleague from the Athletic, Stuart Mandel.

Stu, as we taped on Sunday, we had some coaching news.

That was at LSU, less than 24 hours later, or about 24 hours later.

There was another big bombshell announcement,

and it came out of the Pac-12 in Washington State.

Nick Rolovich is out as the Cougars head coach, as well as four of his assistants.

It's pretty rare that you see half a staff get lopped off at midseason, especially when they've won a last couple of games.

But obviously there are some big extenuating circumstances.

What do you make of the situation in Pullman?

It's, I mean, it's been like a two-month, you know, we've known since August that this day would come unless he had a change of heart.

So it's been like a kind of a slow motion train wreck.

And now that it's happened, and like you said, I mean, I think perhaps the most significant part is that it's not just the head coach.

I mean, we've seen plenty of schools have to play with an interim head coach.

It's half the staff. And they've got a game against BYU this weekend. And there's only so many

GAs and whatnot that you can promote. And by the way, they've been playing very well. They've won

three games in a row. They're in contention for the

Pact 12 North title after a one and three start. How, what happens from here? I mean, how do you,

how do you, how do you, how do you, how do you, uh, get in enough instruction with the,

with the guys on a week to week basis? Well, I had asked on the Zoom call, I'd ask Pat you on the AD about this part of what we're

talking about, of the dynamic, which is the contingency plans I'd heard that they were sorting

out to try to add assistance.
