SPOKANE, Wash. -- Mike Leach is bringing his high-powered passing offense -- and swashbuckling style -- to long-dormant Washington State.

The school said Wednesday that the pirate-loving former Texas Tech coach agreed in principle to a five-year contract. He will be introduced Dec. 6 at a news conference in Pullman.

Leach will be paid a base annual salary of $2 million, with supplemental income of $250,000 a year, plus performance incentives, athletic director Bill Moos said.

Good hire, he'll have a good offense up by 2014.

Great hire by the Cougs. Would have loved to have UCLA give him a look but that was never going to happen.
