PULLMAN — Mike Leach is filling in his Washington State football staff slowly, or quickly, depending on what side of the ball is being referenced.

Leach, who will fill the role of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, has enticed a few of his former Texas Tech offensive assistants to Pullman.

Although WSU has yet to announce any hires, numerous reports have five on board, four of whom have connections to Leach with the Red Raiders.

They are Dennis Simmons, outside receivers; Eric Morris, inside receivers; Clay McGuire, offensive line; Eric Russell, special teams; Jim Mastro, running backs.

The first three worked last season at East Carolina under former Texas Tech defensive coordinator Ruffin McNeill. The Pirates also lost Antonio Huffman, a former Texas Tech player who is expected to work in football operations for WSU.

Russell, who previously coached at Texas Tech, recently resigned at Tennessee to rejoin Leach.

No defensive coaches have been hired, according to sources.
