PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Mike Leach was introduced Tuesday as the
new head coach at Washington State.
Leach was introduced at a rally in the student union building
that included hundreds of fans, football players and the marching
band.
Leach replaces Paul Wulff, who was fired last week after four
losing seasons.
Leach took Texas Tech to 10 bowl games in 10 seasons before he
was fired in 2009 in a controversy involving a player with a
concussion.
He will make $2.25 million per year in salary and other
guaranteed income. His contract also includes bonus payments for
things such as winning the Pac-12 championship or going to a BCS
bowl that could push his pay over $3 million. That includes $25,000
for winning the Apple Cup.
