He's not going to be the new ADs 'man' and may be inclined to be looking out for himself going forward. That's the jeopardy I was referring to. As others have noted above, his name is being kicked around a lot.Also, after virtually signing with Tennessee, Leach has probably burned some bridges at WSU. Does the pirate "crew" trust the pirate captain who tried to jump ship and leave them marooned in Pullman? It could evolve like Arizona has, where the school, the fans, and the coach are not really happy with the situation, but nobody involved has a good alternative choice. Rich Rod was supposedly going to be out at Arizona this year until Khalil Tate burst upon the scene (due to a "fortunate" injury) and ensured at least one more year of coaching "tension". I think it likely that Leach is now much more actively trying to move on, and may take an offer he wouldn't have taken before the Tennessee debacle.
