Egad I hope so. When is he eligible for his sweet retirement deal?

I live in hope that they hire someone terrible, but fear that they hire

Somehow I don't see Mike Leach coming to the U.

Leach to SLC is absolutely a real concern. Utah can pay him what he wants

They can, but there's no reason Washington State couldn't match. I don't see

I work at WSU - their financial situation is awful. If Utah wasn’t to pay him

This is true. I thought about doing grad work at WSU.

I remember watching a video of Mike Leach getting interviewed when he first got

I’ll second this. The college experience at WSU far exceeds that of

Okay, the comparison to USU was a kick below the belt. I'll admit it.

The athletic Dept is in trouble or the school?

SUAVO

Projected Athletic Dept deficit by 2022 = $103M.

Yikes! I guess you don't know what you don't know, eh?

It's really bad. They basically did $120m of football related renovations

One other thing about Leach - he isn't a fan of having missionaries on the team.

He tried to leave and take the Tennessee job last year but the Tennessee AD got

"High." Yep.

I am waiting for someone to describe what Whit probably meant by it.

crack

7/25/19 11:02am

The unnecessarily, over-analytical response...

TFL

7/25/19 11:48am

It's a non-commitable retirement

GilbertAZCougar

Maybe the AD said the OC carousel needs to stop or you are gone

SUAVO

Last as in latest. Next years OC will also be his "last" OC.

I see what you did there. Very clever.

So whitt's going to fire Ludwig and be the OC as well.

Dang you. You had my hopes up that he was actually gone.

That doesn’t say anything about him retiring. It only says Ludwig will be his

The Yewt OC position has very high turn over.
