Mike Leach open to ‘Hard Knocks’ style show, but hoping to avoid ‘Lance Ito Syndrome’

On Tuesday, the college football world was buzzing after news that HBO was considering Washington State for a college football edition of ‘Hard Knocks.’ According to a report, the Cougs, along with Arizona State, Alabama and Penn State, were in discussion with the network to be the focus of a behind the scenes documentary series.

The news was welcome for Cougar fans looking for complete access to their favorite team, but it seemed out of place for a coach like Mike Leach. While the coach has always been an open book off the field, he hasn’t exactly wanted to dive in deep on football topics and specific gameplans.
