Washington State-Rutgers preview: Can a win save Mike Leach?

Washington State coach Mike Leach lost more than a game last week. He lost most of the fan base. Things are dismal right now in Pullman, and a win against Rutgers is the only thing that can brighten the mood.

When the season opened Saturday, Mike Leach's job was very secure. Sure, he had fans who didn't like him, but every coach does. After losing to lowly Portland State in what many call WSU's worst loss ever, it is almost impossible to find a Cougar fan who still supports him. Not that it matters, his contract is such that he can't be fired for at least a few more years.
