Well, well, well....look who got hired at Washington State?
Mike Leach, 50, was fired by Texas Tech in December of 2009 following a dispute over his handling of receiver Adam James. The son of ESPN announcer Craig James, Adam James claimed Leach forced him to sit in a construction closet during practice after suffering a concussion in a game.
Washington State reached an agreement to hire the former Texas Tech coach one day after firing Paul Wulff.
The school announced Wednesday that Leach had agreed in principle to a five-year contract and will be introduced at a press conference next Tuesday.
Financial terms of the contract were not available, but according to a story by CBSSports.com, the deal is for five years and would make Leach the third-highest paid coach in the Pac-12.
In other news...Turner Gill was fired from Kansas and Rick Neuheisel got the axe from UCLA... I felt badly for Turner Gill, he hasn't been there very long...maybe 2 years?
Oh and before I forget...
