    Leach’s Staff

    Sounds like Phelps (DL) & McBath (secondary) are following Leach to MSU as well. Phelps is ok. McBath...well, we'll just have to wait and see. I'm a little "meh" on any of WSU's defensive coaches.

    Watched the MSU vs Oregon game. This play LOL!

    Leach calls that play the "Big Gulp". It was effective a few times, then teams caught on to it and it became kind of a mess. For your sake, I hope he leaves that one in Pullman. :D And those jerseys are anthracite. Kind of WSU's "gray" take on the all black uniform look.

    Leach Defense Narrative

    There seems to be an idea that Leach's offense must be a hurry up. It really isn't. WSU's time of possession stats really weren't all that unbalanced either.

    Thought exercise - 2018 football team

    You might be surprised. Leach is crazy stubborn that way. He will run his version of the Air Raid regardless of your personal or game situation. Case in point, UW completely owned him in the Apple Cup. Rush 3, drop 8, every game. Leach outright refused to run the ball with any consistency...

    Staff-does this look like how he will build it?

    Leach is his own OC and QB coach. He'll go with 2 WR coaches. Not having to hire an OC should free up some money for you to put towards other coaches.

    MSU in top 2 for BC QB

    Which one of them is most accurate? Accuracy & decision making >>>> arm strength & size, when it comes to Leach. And, he couldn't care less about star rankings either. The highest ranked QB Leach brought in took a seat behind a walk on (Luke Falk) at WSU.

    How many players will quit or be dismissed by Leach

    Leach inherited a roster with too much FCS talent on it. A good number of those deflections were kids that realized (or were told) they weren't going to play. Leach also cut loose about half of the recruiting class that was committed. Leach isn't afraid of telling guys to move along if it...

    Leach just transferring staff.....if we whiff on a DC...

    I think you'll be pleased with who he's brought over. Spurrier Jr coached outside WRs(Leach uses 2 WR coaches) and is a good recruiter. Mele will probably coach RBs. Hard worker, good recruiter. Miller is a good tactical OL coach. Brock as ST coach I really don't have much of an opinion on...

    WSU's new hire

    I kind of wanted Graham Harrell, but I like the Rolo hire. He seems like a smart, innovative guy. His scheme fits the personnel well, so hopefully there won't be multiple painful transition years. Our prized QB recruit is from HI, so that's a good fit. I'm a little concerned about his...

    WSU's new hire

    There wasn't anyone in house. You guys are taking all the good Leach assistants. It was either Rolo, Harrell or Harsin, IMO.

    WSU's new hire

    Nick Rolovich, from Hawaii. Runs a pass happy offense and can recruit the islands, so that's promising. Much like Leach at MSU, a lot will depend on his DC hire.

    WSU fan here...

    Which reminds me, when Leach took over at WSU, his philosophy was pretty much to retain no one from the previous staff. So, unless he's changed his mind on that, I would not expect any of your previous coaches to remain.

    Sounds like you guys are getting Steve Spurrier Jr on your staff. He coached outside WRs at WSU (yes, Leach uses 2 WR coaches). You are probably familiar with Spurrier, but he did a good job at WSU. Good recruiter. Expect Mason Miller (OL) & Eric Mele (RB or STs) to follow as well. Miller...

    WSU fan here...

    I think it was just typical transition stuff. As I posted earlier, it takes about a week to install the offense, but much longer to perfect it. Leach is all about repetition. Jeff Tuel, in particular, was promising looking as a soph & junior, then looked like a total deer in headlights as a...

    WSU fan here...

    It is. To be honest, I don't know if Leach has lessened his stance on that since that law was passed. He booted a couple guys early for pot and stealing, and that was kind of the last we heard about his rules cause no one messed around with it after that. He did have an issue one off season...
