Bill Moos wants to tell you about the time he met Mike Leach.
It was November 2011, and Washington State's second-year athletic director boarded an airplane — and another airplane and nother airplane — in search of sizzle. Moos had just fired fourth-year coach Paul Wulff, who compiled a 9-40 record in four unsavory seasons. The cratering Cougars hadn't sniffed a winning record (let alone a bowl game) since 2003.
Moos — a native of nearby Edwall, the son of WSU alums and a former Coug offensive tackle (1969-72) — understood what the program was capable of.
