Mike Leach to coach Washington State

Terrific hire for Washington State.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Mike Leach is bringing his high-powered passing offense -- and swashbuckling style -- to long-dormant Washington State.

The school said Wednesday that the pirate-loving former Texas Tech coach agreed in principle to a five-year contract. He will be introduced next Tuesday at a news conference in Pullman.

Leach will be paid a base annual salary of $2 million, with supplemental income of $250,000 a year, plus performance incentives, athletic director Bill Moos said.

CBSSports.com first reported the deal between Leach and Washington State.

The 50-year-old Leach was 84-43 at Texas Tech, leading the Red Raiders to 10 bowl appearances in 10 seasons. He was fired in 2009 amid allegations he mistreated a player with a concussion.

He replaces Paul Wulff, who was fired Tuesday after four losing seasons.

Really a home run IMO. He has excellent Texas ties, a simple offense(check out x&o labs. http://xandolabs.com/2011/09/mike-leachs-offense-perception-vs-reality/) and he is insanely intelligent. The man has his JD. Drawback is that he loves the sauce allegedly

Was hoping my alma mater would fire our coach and go after Leach, but that was obviously a pipe dream.
