Mike Leach won’t be coaching the Kansas Jayhawks

  • No pirates allowed in the Big 12 anymore.

There won’t be any pirate sightings in Lawrence. Ex-Texas Tech coach Mike Leach agreed Wednesday to coach the Washington State Cougars.

Leach’s name had been dropped for the vacant Kansas Jayhawks job, which opened up after the firing of Turner Gill. Leach is getting a five-year deal, so cross his name off the list of KU candidates.

The Star reported that KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger is hitting the road to conduct the coaching search, and he says he has between six and 10 candidates.
