Following an 8-5 campaign in 2016 that ended with a loss in the Holiday Bowl, head coach Mike Leach is extended and every retained Washington State assistant coach will get a raise from the season prior. Defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, in addition to his raise, was also extended through June of 2020, according to the contracts obtained by Stefanie Loh of the Seattle Times.
Mike Leach received no raise for this coming season or beyond, but athletic director Bill Moos did roll his contract over an additional season. Leach is now under contract through the conclusion of the 2021 season.
