Mike Leach named HC at Washington State (merged)

[therealUT]

Tim Beck time in Lawrence.

I am shocked that Wazzu was able to pull this off. His offense may work pretty well right away with the players already there. I just may have to go to a game next year. Haha.

Been waiting for this mad genius to get back on the sideline

 

[volstuckinwa]

The AD at WSU and Leach go way back apparently. He said at the presser when Wulff was fired that Leach would be the first person he called.

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

I find it hilarious that Tn got the type of coach that someone like Memphis would hire.

 

[TnAngler]

ESPN confirmed Leach to Wash St. Now we can kill rumors of Wilcox heading there. Now we will stand by for his next job rumor.

 

[madbamahater]

Yeah we know........

 

[andrewh]

I may have to drive over to Pullman next year to watch the pirate in action

 

[preacherwebb]

Not only does that kill the Wilcox to Wash St rumors, but the Leach to UT for OC rumors.

 

[VolNavy01]

Good fit I think.

 

[DC Vol]

How is this related to UT Football?

Answered.

 

[sdowell]

wrong forum mods. did not want that nut anyway. he 's a jerk.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

Odd fella but he can coach. He won 2X as many games as he lost in the Big 12. Maybe we can try to follow that same kind of thinking here at Tennessee in the future when hiring coaches.

 

[ncvol17]

He is good for CFB.Welcome back.

 

[MboroVolFan]

One bullet dodged.

 

[VFL10]

Terrible move by him

 

[tvolsfan]

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

Lane Kiffin will be sure to provide some entertainment, too.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

But hey in Pullman he is probably close enough to the Pacific Ocean to bring his Pirate Ship with him.

Right, choosing Wazzou over KU is such a terrible choice...

With Leach's pending lawsuit against ESPN, not too many universities were going to reach out to him.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

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

That program will likely be in a bowl game next year with the talent they have back, with or without the change to Leach. Can we say the same about the Vols?

Either way, I lived in the Pullman/Moscow area for about 10 years and loved it.

Sure as hell wouldn't bet against it.

High praise for KU. Recruiting against a resurgent K-State, a resurgent Nebraska, a resurgent Ok. State, and Oklahoma appears to be a much tougher task than recruiting against UW, Oregon, Oregon State, and Boise State.
