Having looked at the Cougar offense and defense, let’s conclude our previews of the Washington State Cougars with a look at the Wazzu coaching staff and special teams.
The Cougars are led by head coach Mike Leach, aka the Pirate. Leach is an interesting guy. He always manages to make his interviews interesting. He’s one of the most fun Pac-12 coaches to speak with. He’s one of the few coaches in college football who didn’t play at the college level. He went to law school at Pepperdine.
At the same time, he likes life in Pullman, probably because it’s got a similar small-town feel to Cody, Wyoming where he grew up.
