In his singular season with the Cougars, Jackie Sherrill completely flopped during his head coaching tenure in Pullman. Winning an abysmal 27.3 percent of his games, Washington State was outscored by more than 90 points.
The Cougars' only wins during Sherrill's season were against Oregon State, Oregon, and non-conference foe Idaho.
Despite the 45-6 blowout over the Idaho Vandals, Sherrill fell short of finding success for Washington State that year. He went on to find much better success in his career as he traveled to Pittsburgh, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and beyond.
Sherrill was one of the worst choices for the Cougar football program and is the second worst hire to traipse through town.
