PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State football head coach Mike Leach announced Thursday that Derek Sage has been hired as the Cougars' inside receivers coach. He replaces JaMarcus Shephard, who had been in the position for one year.
"Derek is a proven receivers coach who will blend in well with our program and hit the ground running," said Leach. "He brings a great deal of energy, passion, understands our offensive philosophy and has a great reputation as a coach and recruiter."
Sage arrives at WSU following three seasons as the receivers coach at the University of Toledo.
