Washington State athletic director Bill Moos aimed high -- and paid big -- to get Mike Leach to Pullman, and he's not tightening the purse strings with Leach's staff, according to areport from Howie Stalwick. At least in terms of what the Cougars paid coaches in the past.
Leach will make $2.25 million this season. His predecessor, Paul Wulff, made a Pac-12-low $600,000 in 2011. Former defensive coordinator Chris Ball was Wulff's highest-paid assistant at $170,050. His replacement, Mike Breske, takes over the top spot on the Cougars staff at $325,000.
So, yes, Leach will make 3.75 times what Wulff made and Breske will nearly double Ball.
