Paul Louis Wulff (born February 25, 1967) is an American football coach and former player, currently a volunteer assistant for the Iowa State Cyclones. Wulff was a college football head coach for twelve seasons: at Eastern Washington University (EWU) of the Big Sky Conference from 2000 to 2007, and Washington State University (WSU) of the Pac-10 from 2008 to 2011, compiling an overall record of 62 wins and 80 losses. As a student-athlete, he played on the offensive line at WSU during the late 1980s, earning honorable mention All-America honors following his senior season in 1989. ==Early life and playing career== Born in Woodland, California, Wulff graduated from Davis Senior High School in Davis in 1985. He accepted a scholarship from head coach Jim Walden to attend Washington State University in Pullman, and redshirted his first year in 1985. Wulff started four games at guard for the Cougars as a redshirt freshman in 1986. Later a center, he was a starter on the offensive line from 1986 to 1989 under three different head coaches: Walden, Dennis Erickson, and Mike Price. During his junior year in 1988, the Cougars were led by Erickson and quarterback Timm Rosenbach, and scored an upset over top-ranked UCLA on the road, the first of five consecutive wins to close out the season. WSU tied for third in the Pac-10, and won the Apple Cup and the Aloha Bowl. It was Washington State's first bowl game in seven years and their first post-season victory in 63 years, since the Rose Bowl in January 1916. WSU finished at 9–3 and sixteenth in both major polls. In his senior year under Price, the Cougars won six of their first seven games and were ranked fifteenth in mid-October. After two close losses, Wulff had an emergency appendectomy on Halloween and missed the final two games, both defeats, and WSU finished at 6–5 with no bowl. Following graduation in 1990, Wulff signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL), but was released during the 1990 preseason. During the spring of 1991, he played for the Raleigh–Durham Skyhawks in the newly created World League of American Football (WLAF). The team went winless (0–10) in its inaugural season and was folded. Wulff continued to play for another season in the league with the New York/New Jersey Knights, before ending his active career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Wulff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
