I quit liking Mullins several years ago when he publicly became a *****!
Pretty tight ship. 3 Cardinal rules. Don't steal, don't hit a woman, no pot. He will boot guys, no warnings
Your guys will make grades and mostly stay out of the police blotter.

Leach doesn't use a TE (so any you have on your roster might start looking at the transfer portal). He will use that extra scholarship on an OL. He typically took 5 OL in every class. To end with numbers on the OL, you have to start with numbers.
The result was 3 NFL players, one more in the program and a multi year All American, which for WSU, is pretty unprecedented.
He employs wide splits, which spreads the DL out and makes them start further away from your QB. It's crazy the first time you see it.
He may not land a lot of 4 or 5 star guys, but they'll be big, they'll qualify and they'll mostly stay healthy.
Oh, and how important were Special Teams to Leach? Was there enough emphasis on excelling in that phase of the game? Would he let offensive/defensive starters return kicks/punts or no?
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you will hang around. I've always liked WSU and really followed you when Leach came. My wife's ex had a brother who played TE there.
My question is did you remember any example of when Leach made changes to adapt for a player to shine.
Nope, that is not his style. The offense is what it is and won't change much depending on who you have. Obviously you'll throw a ton, but will rotate 8 WRs, so no one guy will catch a ton. So, if you've got a bit of a diva WR, he may not be happy.
Does Leach ever/always put the QB under center on 3rd and a foot?
Great post. Very informative. “Wide splits” is what I was thinking of.
It seems to me like that philosophy is very effective, except against elite DT’s. Which, again, hell every offensive line technique struggles against elite DT’s. So, that a little redundant. But, Leach’s system and career offensive numbers speak for themselves. And like you said.. he’s put multiple OL in the NFL from WSU, which is unprecedented. I remember Andre Dillard being a beast. I know he’s with the Eagles now. Was he highly recruited? I’m assuming not.
How do y'all manage to get Ol Crimson (I think that's its name) around the country to every Game Day? Impressive feat BTW.
What about gettin drunk?Sounds like a winner. Violating any of those three should be immediate loss of scholarship and removal from the team.
I think I remember that happening maybe once in 8 years. Even the victory formation is out of the shotgun, which is pretty funny.

Wait...isn’t recreational marijuana allowed in Washington state? Seems like something pretty hard to enforce and verges on infringing freedom.
Is Leach Mormon? He sounds religious after his “if you believe lightning strikes mud” deal.
Sorry if this has already been asked.
I have not read it all.
Are you regretting coming here yet and answering everybody's questions? I'm sure the board is just getting warmed up.

There's a booster club and a network of alums. The flag is FedExed from location to location. Leach got Gameday to Pullman. He'll always be a legend for that.
That's actually OK because diva WRs have never really worked for us.Nope, that is not his style. The offense is what it is and won't change much depending on who you have.

That was one of the best gameday openings ever. Phenomenal scene in Pullman.
but they catch the ball and protect it.
If they can't catch or block, they'll sit and a walk on will play.
Mostly WSUs WR have lacked big play explosiveness, but they catch the ball and protect it.
Maybe pot is why we can’t catch or tackle...just a spitball theory.
