Well, Leach is having a bad year, kind of like someone else we know.
Little early to be writing his Pullman obituary, IMO.

Totally agree. He needs to find the "right" defensive coordinator. If he can, he and his team will be right back in the mix. This is easier said than done however. Grinch made a big difference. Before he got there, WSU had problems on defense. He fixed that situation. Leach got used to having a good defense. Now he doesn't, and is at a loss on how to fix it. I suspect (but don't know) that working for Leach is no picnic. We all know the recruiting issues one faces in Pullman. Getting a good, effective DC in that context will be a challenge.
