Leaf Quits In Texas, Cites ‘Personal Issues’


Michael Lemmons/Amarillo Globe-News, AP
In this March 27, 2006 photo, West Texas A&M University quarterback coach Ryan Leaf looks over the quarterback squad at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, Canyon, Texas. Leaf has resigned as quarterbacks coach at West Texas A&M on Thursday. Athletic director Michael McBroom said in a statement that Leaf resigned because of "personal issues." Story here.

DFO: It's easy to pile on Ryan Leaf for the way he unraveled after his professional career unraveled quickly. But I will always credit him for some of the finer moments he provided WSU fans during his Rose Bowl year.
