Mike Leach came to the Paloose swinging his sword, hoping to get Washington State back on the winning track in a hurry.
Now, at his second straight stop, he's facing allegations of abuse.
The latest, offered by former leading receiver Marquess Wilson, has prompted the school president to seek outside investigation.
WSU president Elson S. Floyd released a statement on Sunday that detailed his desire not only for an in-house investigation but that the Pac-12 conduct its own investigation. Here is the press release:
"After consultation with WSU Athletic Director Bill Moos, I have asked our athletic department to fully review recent allegations raised concerning the football program and report their findings and conclusions as soon as possible. Simultaneously, I have asked the Pac-12 to independently do the same. Together, both reports should get to the bottom of the matter.
Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D.
President
Washington State University
