Mike Leach named HC at Washington State (merged)

[oskie_score]

Could another Mike be the answer to righting what's wrong at WSU?
Mike Price (1989-2002) coached the Coug's to 2 Rose Bowl appearances, 2 back-to-back Top 10 / 10-Win seasons (2001-2002) before leaving for green grass and high (Roll) tides, then have his affinity for young women and strip clubs discovered and subsequently terminated (4 months in) by Alabama President Robert Witt.

Paul Wulff (9-40) 2007-2011 was fired Tuesday, Athletic Director Bill Moos did not waste any time in beginning a new search saying, "Mike Leach is on the short list, as is Kevin Sumlin".

He was being mentioned for Ole Miss and Memphis among others. I did not mean to imply for Vol hfc. We missed that train in '09. Cougars | Report says Cougars have offered job to Mike Leach | Seattle Times Newspaper

According to Bruce Feldman this is a done deal.

Mike Leach named HC at Washington State per ESPN. Squash Wilcox rumors.

 

[milohimself]

Leach, chip Kelly and richrod in one conference will make for some crazy football.

Good hire...for them.

I find it hilarious that Memphis fans would think they could get anyone decent to come there.

I've been waiting two years for Leach to get a coaching job somewhere, this is awesome. Hope he makes Wazzu relevant again.

 

[volstopfan14]

I figured Leach would end up with a better school. Great hire for Washington St though.

I guess they thought he had enough stink on him that his options were that limited. I probably would've agreed until a BCSAQ school actually offered him again. He just had the air of very damaged goods, although I don think he a great offensive mind.

Seriously. That program is in bad shape. Not to mention the fact that you have to live in Pullman.

Wilcox isn't going anywhere.

Not true. I saw Wilcox watching Pirates of the Caribbean today.

Is takeing the Washington St head coaching job. So you negavols can make this one off your list. On ESPN at the bottom of the screen.

 

[Govols16]

at least this is a post about something that has happened and is true lol

Leach, chip Kelly and richrod in one conference will make for some crazy football.

And Lane Kiffin's whining about Rich Rod, Chip, and Leach. The only other thing I can hope for is that Mangino takes UCLA and Arizona State takes someone else crazy and vocal..... I mean I don't wish bodily harm or death to Kiffin but as long as he is getting tons and tons of headaches from these wacky offenses, I'm down

All they need to do is add Oklahoma and Ok State and the Pac-12 effectively becomes the Big 12 West.

 

[Velo Vol]

3rd highest paid coach in the PAC 12? At WSU?

The NCAA coaching salary wars keep getting sillier and sillier.

It's gotta suck to be Wulff. He only got $600k/year. Then again, WSU got what they paid for.

 

[UTCVol]

Well, Leach did take another terrible program in a s*** town back to relevance.

 

[trevols81]

nb4 a utility closet joke or a Craig James reference.

Back to the topic. He is a good hire for that program.
