Alex Grinch expected to be among candidates for WSU job

With the departure of Mike Leach for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, our minds immediately jump to candidates for the Washington State Cougars job.

While it’s still obviously incredibly early in the process, names already are surfacing. How credible those suggestions are is up for debate, but here’s a list of names you’ve either heard already or are going to hear in the coming days.

It’s not an exhaustive list, by any means.

Alex Grinch

Current job: Defensive Coordinator for the Oklahoma Sooners
Why he’d be a candidate at WSU: Grinch was the WSU Defensive Coordinator from 2015-2017 and helped mold that side of the ball into SpeedD.
