fired and the offer to Leach was rescinded. Leach had his bags packed for Tennessee and there wasn't a dang thing WSU could do about it. There won't be much WSU can do when a school pays more than WSU is paying ($4m).

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

ColumbusCoug

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’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?

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.

ColumbusCoug

WSU would have to really screw the pooch to lose Leach.....

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

The unnecessarily, over-analytical response...

It's a non-commitable retirement

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

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

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
