I live about a hour and half north of Pullman, everyone here is a WSU alum. I've lived here my entire life in coug country so I'm pretty qualified to talk about WSU. You gotta understand that this isn't some football powerhouse. The expectations aren't as high as a place like miami so the whole he's 2-6 argument is kind of pointless. WSU has always played second fiddle to UW in sports, they just don't particularly expect to win big there. Another reason for that was the dire state of WSU football pre leech. Paul Wulff went 9-40 in the 4 seasons before leech and demolished the roster. The guy was as bad as it gets. Leech is a great fit for a place like WSU, they are happy with occasionally winning 9 or 10 games, having a wacky coach that will make funny statements to the media. Leech is literally the perfect fit for WSU and he will win some games there, it's just gunna take some time. Simply put, WSU is the exact opposite of Miami.
