I know Graham Harrell just signed an extension at USC. But being the head coach almost anywhere beats being on staff with a deadman walking coach. He's a leach disciple, so it wouldn't be a major adjustment
He’d be my top pick. If I were a Cuog my shortlist would be:

Do extensions--or football coaching contracts in general--mean fuck all anymore? Leach was just extended as well. All that accomplished was sticking Mississippi State with a bigger buyout. Reports are that MSU will owe WSU $2.25 million. Can't find Harrell's buyout, but considering that's twice his salary, I think the Cougs would come out ahead.
I actually think your idea makes sense--at least from a WSU perspective. It would offer offensive continuity, at least, which is all the Cougs have had going for them. And they could triple his current salary and still save a million a year vs. what they were paying Leach. Besides, what proven, winning coach is going to want that job?
Why no one is worried that WSU is going to poach our best defensive staff member for HC is beyond me. I'm super worried they will take Bob Gregory from us. The lifeblood of the defense during the Pete era.
Edit: I hope no one starts this kind of rumor on Twitter.

Seems he could do better than that.
Doesn't mean h couldn't be a good head coach I just found it amusing
Inconceivable.
