If WSU doesn’t censure him and if he isn’t required to apologize, that place will be considered a joke.

I chalk it up to Leach having the highest WAR for any P5 coach. Why? Because anyone who has spent much time in Pullman will realize that, from a recruiting standpoint, the place is already a joke. I'm not sure I can think of a P5 school location that is more of an uphill climb in terms of recruiting, being that WSU is a poorly resourced public school in a very rural area, with not terrific weather for most of the school year, not near any major city or airport, and in a relatively low-key wider region for HS football talent. Truly, the deck is so stacked against the Cougs in terms of recruiting players (and coaches).

Given all that, Leach knows he has a very long leash, provided he keeps winning, because his Wins Above Replacement is probably among the highest among P5 coaches.
