Washington State will be very pleased to lock Leach down long-term. He was linked multiple times to the Tennessee job, but ultimately it doesn’t appear that he ever came particularly close to leaving. He led Washington State to a very successful 9-3 season, and the school will be thrilled that he’ll keep them moving forward.
