Mike Leach Agrees To Be The Next Washington State Head Coach

PrintThe Pac-12 is sure upgrading their coaching situations. If Jeff Tedford plans on winning the Pac-12 in the near future, he'll have earned it tenfold.
The Washington St. Cougars didn't fool around after firing Paul Wulff. They went right for one of the most compelling figures in college football. Bruce Feldman reports.
Mike Leach has verbally agreed to become the next head coach at Washington State. Leach was offered the position late Tuesday afternoon, CBS learned.
The 50-year-old Leach replaces Paul Wulff, who was dismissed Tuesday morning. The hiring of Leach would seem to mesh with Washington State athletic director Bill Moos' comment earlier at the press conference where he announced Wullf's firing that he likes a "flashy, high-octane offense that lights up the scoreboard."
You might remember Leach from when he torched us in the Holiday Bowl in 2004. While Cal has gotten better at dealing with spread attacks like the Airraid, they still can give us trouble (as we've struggled with Arizona year-by-year). Now we'll have to deal with the real thing up close and personal.
Obviously Washington State will never outrecruit us, but they've proven they have great offensive weapons and good quarterback play. Jeff Tuel and Connor Halliday are pretty good talents, and they have a decent offense to go along with it. Suddenly those trips to Pullman don't look quite as winnable (and guess where we go next year).
Chip Kelly. Rich Rodriguez. Lane Kiffin (yes, Lane). Steve Sarkisian. Mike Leach. This conference is sure filling up with dynamic offensive-minded coaches, isn't it? Clancy Pendergast is going to have his hands full.

Great hire for WSU, I don’t think they could have done better. Leach is a nutball but he can coach with limited talent and runs a deceptively simple offense that is really hard to stop.
If any Cougs read this, tell your frosh QBs to be ready for late night phone calls from the coach when he needs a ride home from the bars…
Inspiring and completing since1997 since2010!
Hard to stop....
….depending on how holding is called. In the Pac it may not work :)
if Oregon gets away with the shit they do, WSU will be just fine

Yeah, good hire, but the only reason he went so low (sorry Cougs) is because of the scandal (yes I know that’s unfair, but ADs are a risk adverse bunch).

Now all we need is Mike Bellotti or Jim Tressel at UCLA and the Pac-12 will be the most interesting conference in college football
no bear, no care
Tressel can’t, I think the NCAA slapped a show-cause on him.

Not yet
It’s expected that he will be hit with one, but he hasn’t officially been sanctioned yet.

This really was a good get for the Coogs. The most surprising thing is how much of a “bang-bang” hire it was. Either this was in the works for a long time, or the Dread Pirate Leach really loves Pullman.
It’ll be really interesting to see how all this ends up affecting the remaining two P12 hires – especially if they take a long time. Zona and Wazzu not only got it done fast, but they got the guys they wanted. If Uclol whiffs on Petersen bners are likely to burn down all of Westwood, and place the heads of their chancellor and AD on pikes at the ruined gates.

and that leaves no money for assistant coaches, as UCLA appears to have a smaller cap for coaching salaries.
Plus, Peterson showed little interest the last time UCLA approached him.

by EchoOfSilence on Nov 30, 2011 1:19 PM PST up reply actions
I'm not surprised Petersen has shown little interest
He would have tremendous difficulty replicating his success at Boise (or even a fraction of it) at UCLA due to higher recruiting standards, tougher in-conference competition, etc.

just curious, don’t you think that makes it all the more interesting for that type? Especially if you’re going to get a whole bunch more money.
I’ll keep saying this, I worry when UCLA finds the right coach because I remember all too well the run they had. There is no reason on god’s green earth that UCLA should not have a great football program. When “playing your home games off campus at the Rose Bowl… THE ROSE FRICKIN’ BOWL” seems to be the biggest draw back, you got things pretty good.
It sounds a lot like the decision for Utah or another mid-major to join a BCS conference. Sure, you get better coverage and better money, but you’re not going to roll over opponents like you did before.
If I were Petersen, I’d stay at Boise St and continue to rack up high rankings, impressive win totals, and occasional BCS berths instead of going to UCLA and suddenly becoming a middle-of-the-road program.

Confirmed
on their website. They say Moos met Leach awhile back and the two hit it off. They’ve been talking since the WSU-OSU game, and the game at Cal supposedly solidified things.
Eh, he doesn't really owe anything to Wulff.
Moos was remarkably patient in not hitting the eject button after last season, but he’s still got to look after Wazzu athletics and if he’s willing to do the legwork to cozy up to a candidate with excellent credentials like Leach, than bully him.

Actually he does owe him something…. 1, obviously, his contract. But 2, to at least be honest with him. To have clear parameters set for what constitutes success etc. if he spoke to leach around the time of the Oregon State game, that was 6 weeks ago… just doesn’t seem cool to me.
We don't actually know anything about what was happening behind the scenes at Wazzu,
so it seems pointless speculating on the content of the communication between Moos and Wulff.

Leach, who won 84 games in nine seasons at Texas Tech, replaces Paul Wulff, who was fired Tuesday after four seasons in which he won only nine games.

But Kiffin's salary is not disclosed, right?
So it could be below Kelly and Tedford (and presumably Kiffin).
by Oski4Heisman on Nov 30, 2011 1:58 PM PST up reply actions
All this means is we won’t have to endure more of that nonsense about how much Tedford makes, when the bulk of his salary comes from endorsements and secondary fees.
It was getting tiresome having to hear the same old ignorant comments about how overpaid he was, especially when the state is suffering, blah blah blah.
Being an Old Blue means embracing the "meh".
This is the current (pre-firings) Pac-12 head coach salary list: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/29809/pac-12-coaches-in-the-poorhouse
When all is said and done, Tedford might conceivably be only the 6th or 7th highest paid head coaching in the Pac-12, after Kiffin, Shaw, Kelly, Leach, Petersen (or Cable, LOL) and whoever ASU gets.
We must remove WSU from the conference, because they will never be relevant...
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
haha…yeah, well…we’ll see I guess. It certainly seemed their backs were up against it…hiring Moos is the real story here. He’s that “perfect fit.”
Also, it’s safe to assume that at 8+ wins Leach is bye bye.

OH WAIT. I think there’s a kind of fundamental misunderstanding of how most ADs, administrators, and well-monied boosters (Moos excepted, obviously) view the Dread Cap’n in play here.
Not saying that Leach is going to stay at Wazzu for ten years, but he isn’t going to be in significantly greater demand after nine wins at Washington St. than he was after 11 wins at Texas Tech.

the thing is
they were truly terrible for a few years (now just kind of terrible). But it only seemed like “their backs were up against it” if you take a really short, narrow view of the situation and don’t consider history and context. They have also had, within the last 15 years, 2 rosebowl appearances and 3 consecutive 10 win seasons. As a Cal fan, I’m quite envious of that.
In general, I think you are pretty quick on this blog to react very strongly to the latest news and not stop to consider the bigger picture, which you leads you to conclusions like the one you formed about WSU. If you step back a bit and consider the context, you’ll be able to avoid misguided conclusions a lot more frequently.

Here's what my mind is saying about the coaching changes
“F* all those who are against us.”
Okay, got to get back to pumping sunshine.
Agreed. We have a chance to end this season with positive momentum by winning our bowl game, and then next year we’ll have lots of things going for us: re-opening Memorial Stadium, the Simpson SAHPC, an even-year schedule, some experience on both sides of the ball and perhaps our best recruiting class ever, to go with the past few years’ strong recruiting classes. As far as all of the new coaches in the Pac-12, it’ll take some time (hopefully after they play us) to get completely up to speed. 2012 is our year.

We play better on even-year seasons. as has been said already.
Also 2008. I believe we did not lose at home that year. 7-0. Michigan State, Colorado State, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Arizona State, Furd.
Playing USC and Oregon State on the road had been big because we always lose to them even at Memorial. In even-years, we get beat Oregon and UCLA at home. In odd-years, we lose to USC and OSU at home, then lose to Oregon and UCLA on the road. That’s two extra losses.
As a bleeding orange Texas Longhorn, even I
can admit that Leach got royally screwed by Tech over the Adam James incident. He’s a great offensive coach and a helluva funny interview. The Pac12 is in for some good times.
Now that you’re here, do you see Texas going to the Holiday Bowl?
no bear, no care
by EchoOfSilence on Nov 30, 2011 2:09 PM PST up reply actions
Only if we beat Baylor, and
OU loses to Okie State. Two very big ifs, I have to say. RGIII is Vince Young with a better long ball, and our offense right now couldn’t score in Thailand – but our defense is playing lights out. Okie State beating Okie is a really tall order, but they just might do it.
For selfish reasons I want the Alamo Bowl so I could get a chance to go myself, but we’ve had success in the Holiday, and by all accounts the folks in San Diego do a fantastic job. I think the team would prefer a trip to SoCal over San Antonio, if it was up to them.
If you guys beat Baylor, wouldn’t you go to the Insight Bowl? I’m not exactly sure how it works. We Cal fans are definitely gunning for Texas though :)

to be honest, I'm not sure how it works either. But after last year
with no bowl, even the Pinstripe Bowl sounds good…
Yeah, I was excited when we beat OSU and figured we were headed for the Kraft Fight Hunger (blah) bowl, and am now way more excited than I should be for the (likely) Holiday Bowl bid.
Maybe that’s not quite right. There should be no limit to my excitement about Cal sports! My point was basically just that my expectations got readjusted quite a bit from five years ago. Making the Holiday Bowl in 2006 was nice, but it was a little disappointing given how close we were to more that year. This year, the Holiday Bowl feels great, since last year was such a downer (it is hard to imagine a worse end to the season than the get-our-hopes-up loss to Oregon, the stomping by Stanford, and then the last second loss to Washington, all at home), and my expectations were low coming in to the season.

So has Mike Leach done anything at a school other than Texas Tech?

I wasn't really targeting you so much as venting my frustrations in general.
Plus the whole “omg Pistol!” thing is way overdone. You know why we gave up a lot of points to Nevada? Because they had a really good offense that year! You know why we gave up a quantity of points to UCLA that was greatly exaggerated by Cal offensive turnovers to begin with? Because the defense came out flat! Sometimes simple explanations are also valid.

Clancy's results against single-back spread passing teams is encouraging, by the way.
See: Arizona and ASU 2010, Wazzu 2011. ASU 2011 could be used as a black mark against him but the defensive performance in game was partially a function of attrition. There’s also Wazzu 2010 but they were so badly outmanned that it’s not all that worth considering.

Agree
Though Leach brings a whole different dimension to the single-back spread passing, especially with Marquess Wilson at his disposable (see: Crabtree, Michael).
You don’t have the sort of continued offensive success with inferior athletes that Leach had at Tech without having a superior scheme. Give him someone special like Crabtree or Wilson and you’re going to see points on the board no matter what.

ASU 10 and WSU 10 didn’t have their primary QB. Only AZ was a truly good performance
In other words, Go Bears!
Threet went 8-16 for 125 yards and two interceptions in 2010
(Should have been three picks but it bounced off Steve Williams’ cast and ended up as a long completion.)
Saying Wazzu didn’t have their primary quarterback (I assume you’re talking about this year’s game) is splitting the hair pretty thin considering he was Wazzu’s passing leader for the year and was able to put up yards and points against almost everyone else he played against.
In any case the point stands that Pendergast’s results have been, if nothing else, encouraging.

It was the pro-style offenses that killed us last season: USC, Stanford, Oregon State.
His results were inconclusive this season. We were gashed by Colorado (pro-style), UCLA (lolwtfpistol), second-half Oregon (wtfnoholdingcall-zone-read), and kinda-sorta ASU (pass-happy-spread).

Odds of 1 = 50%.
odds = probability / (1 – probability)

I am so amped up about this hire! Mike Leach should be a good fit for Pullman (a real paradise compared to Lubbock). He’s just the kind of nutball we need to make the PAC-12 North more interesting (Leach vs. Kelly should be crazy). And now WSU can move to third place in my rooting interest! (Sorry Beavs.)
But there is no ocean
anywhere near Pullman, so he’ll have trouble dressing and talking like a pirate on National talk like a pirate day
Leach will probably move his obsession over to cougars and other big cats.
