It has been reported that former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach will be the next coach for Washington State.

This seems like a solid hire for the Cougars for a couple of reasons.  First of all, the pieces are already in place for Leach's style of offense with Jeff Tuel, Connor Halliday, and Marquess Wilson back for next year.  Secondly, he will certainly be able to sell some tickets.  Lastly, the expectations in Pullman are not very high so as long as he gets them to consistent bowl games and can win the occasional Apple Cup, everyone will be happy.
