Re: NEW: Leach's contract rolled over through 2019
Okay so.....he's now tougher to fire and his seat just got cooled down if it were even a little warm. Hopefully that'll help the DC search.

There is nothing wrong with quadrupling down on mediocrity. The rest of the pac12 continues to hire good coaches

The buyout and the raise is what really matters with a roll-over.
The buyout actually dropped, making it easier for him to get shit-canned. With only a 900K buyout, that I'm sure is paid out pro-rata over the remaining course of the contract and probably reduced by whatever he makes at his next coaching stop, this is just window dressing. Wazzu could fire him next year and pay 900K over 4 years. That's not a prohibitive amount and wouldn't stop them from firing Leach if he goes off the rails next year.
If you want to see a fucked up buyout look at Steve Alford. He's due over $10M if he gets fired before 2019. -
I don't think that's how buyouts work.BallSacked said:The buyout and the raise is what really matters with a roll-over.

Buyouts work if the other guy hires him....if WSU fires him they pay the full amount of the contract. (see Pelini at Nebraska) -
Most aren't like that.
Looked up news of the old contract. Apparently he's due 60% of the remaining contract if he's fired. If that's still the case...then wow. The 900K is if he's hired away. You are correct.
Man WSU fucked on that one. If he is good and someone steals him, they get dick. But if he sucks they still owe him a load of money even if they fire him.
