I may be in the minority, but I think Leach got shafted/blackmailed at Tech what with Craig James, his son, and the university officials and all.

Numerous players (past and current-when the investigation really heated up), as well as many coaches and members of the medical staff backed up Leach's side of the story about the "electrical closet" and the claims that Adam James was "locked and thrown in there like a caged animal." I also believe the team medical staff and head doctor backed up his side of the story as well.

Anyways, I think that's a solid hire. He'll bring some excitement back to the program and put the fans in the seats. Expect a lot of points on the board next year! His offenses at Tech were really fun to watch.

It's a pretty interesting read.

True. And goodness knows that WSU needs all the excitement it can get. It has been a rough decade for the Cougs and this announcement has everyone excited about Cougar football for the first time in awhile.
