Is Mike Leach safe at Washington State?

After a loss to Portland State, a FCS team, in the season opener, could head coach Mike Leach's job be on the line against Rutgers?

Perhaps that's too far, especially considering Leach's track record and past success at Wazzu. However, coming off a 3-9 season, the loss to Portland State does not help Leach's case.

Leach and the Cougars have a chance to right the ship as they travel to New Jersey to take on Rutgers, a team that beat Wazzu in 2014. 

They say that winning solves everything. If Leach can take down Rutgers as an underdog, his job could be safe, for now. But a loss to Rutgers? Leach's seat may get really hot, really quickly.
