First thing Leach needs to do is get offensive linemen committed.

He isn’t winning anything without o lineman.

How does the rest of our roster shape up for his scheme?

I think skill positions will fit very well. Should excite the receivers. You're dead on with linemen. He's about to get the keys to a Ferrari. It's going to be fun to watch him drive it.

Solid article on Alex Grinch. Wazzou's DC.

“Takeaways equal victories,” said Grinch, whose uncle is former Missouri coach Gary Pinkel. “It’s the only reason we’re out there, to get the ball back for the offense. A lot of people don’t think like that. They look it at more that you’re trying to limit yards. But you’re there on defense for one reason, to get the ball back. If you’re playing defense in basketball, no one is confused as to why you’re playing defense. It’s to get the basketball. It’s the same thing in football.

“We’re trying to brainwash our guys into believing that, so every single practice we’re stripping at it, grabbing at it and trying to knock it loose.”

That ball-hawking approach is also the reason why the first full scrimmage with Grinch as Washington State’s defensive coordinator turned into a free-for-all producing several fights.

I don't want to jinx it but how fricking lucky is John Currie to go from hiring Greg Schiano and offering Dave Doeren to potentially landing Mike Leach?

Pretty damn lucky to have this fanbase. We were like bumpers on a bowling lane for that dip.

Last bit of info:
Wash. State ran the ball 24.5 times a game, (rank 130...yikes).
But...Miami 112, Purdue 106, Stanford 105, Penn State 100.

Yeah, they didn't run it a lot, but a lot of good teams and good coaches didn't as well.
