It'll be interesting to see if Leach taps Wright for one of the openings.....

Apparently he's the/a guy Leach wanted back in 2011. He's 64, so retirement is a possibility.

Don't we already have a coach that was brought out of retirement? From Mizzou with the idea that Pullman isn't the same as those other schools. I wouldn't be surprised if CML was able to bring him back to the good life. We get someone like Wright, we have a pretty dang good D coach.

It is funny how some guys are too old at 64 to be good coaches, Kent was deemed too old to still coach . Now this guy is there and he is suddenly seen bu posters as a good coach who can help. It makes one wonder where these guys can see age in a entirely different light.

The TCU DC is in his mid-60s.

Bobby Jack Wright for the secondary?

Bobby Jack Wright would be an intriguing addition. His age doesn't detract from his short term value as a secondary coach and special teams coordinator. The only issue I would see is that he has spent his entire coaching life in the Texas/Oklahoma region. I just don't see him moving to the great PNW if he hasn't left the south in 40 years. By the way - his age doesn't detract from his coaching abilities or insights. He apparently made $300,000 - according to an OU fan board. I won't link it but you can search it easily. Hope everyone's holidays were good and wish you a great 2015.

The twitter rumors are starting up again… Supposedly WSU has an interview later this week. Another source says that the announcement is "in a few days"… Take it as you will… Just remember it IS twitter.
