PULLMAN, Wash. – Darcel McBath, who last season served as Washington State's defensive quality control assistant, has been elevated to assistant coach, Cougar Head Football Coach Mike Leach announced Tuesday. McBath will begin his duties immediately.
"Darcel is a great coach who played a big role in our defensive success last season," said Leach. "He has several years of NFL experience to draw from and will be a strong recruiter. Darcel is very technical in his teaching, and relates well to our players."
McBath, who played for Leach at Texas Tech from 2004-08, spent the 2017 season working on the defensive side of the ball, specifically with Alex Grinch and the defensive backs.
