FILE - This Sept. 19, 2009, file photo shows Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach during the first quarter of the NCAA college football game against Texas in Austin, Texas. Has Mike Leach lost his inner pirate? This time last year Texas Tech was undefeated, ranked No. 2 in the country and coming off of back-to-back wins over Top 10 opponents. This season has been wildly different: rotating quarterbacks, a Twitter ban, a player dissing his tardiness and an unexpected Big 12 loss he said came because his players were listening to their "fat little girlfriend."

Wulff's critic that day was none other than Mike Leach, who had been fired at Texas Tech the year before. Now it's believed that WSU would like Leach and his demeanor on the sideline rather than Wulff.
