With Nebraska's new AD hired, the former AD at Washington State, the rumors are flying around that he might bring Leach with him if his ends up letting Riley go.

Rumor: Leach to Nebraska

Ready for Coaching Board.

Nebraska already tried experimenting with an air raid coach who didn't care about defense


His name was bill Callahan

Kind of what I was thinking. It's a weird fit.

history aside, im not sure if Nebraska is even a better job

Leach will probably just use this rumored interest with a new contract negotiation

They'll reach out to Frost first. If he declines, then I could see them going after Leach.

Leach has already denied this.

“I don’t have any plans to do that and they already have a head coach there and he’s a pretty good one, Mike Riley,” Leach, in his sixth season at WSU, said.


I guess plans could change though. Clearly Riley is getting fired.

What a mismatch. Same place that fired Solich and Pelini after 9-win seasons. A place that needs a top-notch recruiter and Leach hates to recruit.

BS. Washington St. is a literal outpost. Pelini, who's not even that great of a coach, was winning 9-10 games a year at Nebraska three years ago. They aren't a national power anymore but they can easily be a perennial top 25 team.

Callahan ran a West Coast offense at Nebraska and was one of the architects of Alvarez's first offenses at Wisconsin.

I'm not sure Leach's philosophy is very comparable.

He might have taken that denial a tad too far.
