Colleagues,



Should you receive inquiries or concerns from donors or volunteers about news concerning Mike Leach’s recent Twitter comments (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/columnist/dan-wolken/2018/06/18/mike-leach-twitter-shows-why-bigger-schools-avoid-hiring-him/710530002/), the University has prepared a recommended response. It is important that our alumni and friends feel their concerns are heard, that we take them seriously, and that we will pass their concerns along to University leadership.



The sample script (below) can be adapted to respond:



“Thank you for taking the time to communicate your concerns. While I am not able to address your questions directly, I will share your comments with President Kirk Schulz and Athletic Director Patrick Chun. As you know, Mike Leach is able to express his personal opinions in his role as a private citizen. That said, Coach Leach’s views do not necessarily reflect the views of Washington State University students, faculty and staff.



Please know that we have heard your concerns. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.”





Thank you,

xxxxx


notes:

1) stick to the script
2) chinteresting to see no 'go cuogs'

The best part is it doesn’t say anything about passing their concerns in to leadership other than telling them you will pass them onto leadership.

Leach is untouchable. He has a perpetual rollover contract and the school is broke. They can't get rid of him.

He'd have to get caught on film going Sandusky on the school president's grandchild to be fired.

Only those that subscribe to liberal pussified thought process think He should be gone.

Thanks in advance for clarifying which column you reside in.

Pretty much this. WSU is never getting rid of him without cause. He is always given extensions and raises for finishing unranked and at best tied for fourth place in the conference. There is no level of expectation here. Nobody legitimate wants him, so he's here as long as he wants to coach.

Pretty much this. WSU is never getting rid of him without cause. They can't risk becoming the Beavs.
