Washington State football coach Mike Leach absolutely detests all questions about milestones and legacies.
He made this abundantly clear at Pac-12 Media Days in July when, sparked by a reporter’s inquiry about which questions he dislikes most, Leach dived into an animated two-minute response – complete with wild hand gestures and highly entertaining facial contortions – about how inane it is to ask a sitting football coach to define the significance of beating any specific team.
Does any coach ever have the time to sit on his laurels and ruminate, Leach asked aloud, to everyone and no one, sounding incredulous.
