According to ESPN Joe Schad, USC Offensive Coordinator will be named Washington Head Coach.

This makes me think a few things:
1) Leach used the trip to Washington as leverage for a bigger deal as advised by his agent. My other thought on the trip to Washington was to see Seattle with his wife all on their dime.
2) Leach withdrew his name today because he knew he was not getting the job. This way he saves his face and by him withdrawing, it was on his terms.
On a way off note, I like Pete Carroll and what he has done at USC. I have followed him since his days with the Patriots. I wonder how losing Sarkisian might change his offense--he will have lost 3 offensive coordinators in 4 years: Norm Chow, Lane Kiffin, and Sarkisian is Schad is correct. I still think his team in 2005 was one of the best college teams ever: if only Lendale White got the first down on the 4th and 2 with 4 minutes left.
Ok....Let's hope the Leach extension gets done Friday so I can enjoy my weekend.

Yea, I agree
Why choose a bum? Maybe they got him on the cheap…
1) Free recruiting trip!
2) Save face, uh, OK… or maybe the kid wasn’t interested.
I like Pete Carroll like I like Mac Brown. As long as they’re coaching, other schools have a chance.
Wes Welker can't be stopped.

Well if, as jwhitettu's link suggests, Leach may be looking for a new challenge:
I think I know just the place.
