Looking back at Mike Leach’s original WSU staff

Last Monday we remembered Paul Wulff’s first coaching staff at WSU — much to the chagrin of some of you. This week, we’ll look back on some fonder memories with Mike Leach’s first WSU staff.

A lot of assistants have come and gone during Leach’s time at WSU, but there is no doubt that initial staff had quite the impact even though none remain on staff now.

Eric Russell (Assistant Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator)

Russell spent three seasons at WSU before he was fired following some special teams issues. Russell landed at TCU as the director of player personnel.
