WSU is heading into Mike Leach's fourth season in Pullman but unlike last season, there are some new faces on the coaching staff heading into 2015. We know a bit about Graham Harrell and even new defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. There has been less written about new outside LB coach Roy Manning who's hiring was overshadowed by Grinch.
That changed a bit recently with WSU releasing a mic'd up video of Manning, giving some insight to how he operates as a coach. The video shows him coaching up a few players, with the majority of the time spent working with Kache Palacio and Ivan McLennan. The two are very important parts to WSU's pass rush, so Manning's job is an improtant one.
Like all good WSU mic'd up videos, there is also a little cameo from Joe Salave'a who is fired up about some hitting.
