Washington State extends Leach through 2024 season

Washington State has extended head coach Mike Leach's contract one more year to last through the 2024 season.

"Mike Leach has established, and continued, a culture of success at Washington State, both academically and athletically, that few have matched," Washington State athletic director Pat Chun said in a release. "He has returned WSU to national prominence, is one of the top football coaches in the nation, and we are fortunate to have him leading our program."

The Cougars will make a bowl appearance for a school-record fifth consecutive season.

Leach has amassed a 55-46 record over his eight years at Washington State. He led the Cougars to a 6-6 record this season, with Anthony Gordon's nation-leading 5,228 passing yards powering the team.

Leach will earn $4 million per season.
