Washington State head coach Mike Leach is definitely in the running for the most interesting head coach in college football.

Leach has led the Cougars to a solid season and Holiday Bowl appearance, but it his performance in press conferences that has produced many highlights throughout the year. His latest press conference story is about his pet raccoon, and Leach incredibly would like to have another one.

“Yeah, I did have a pet raccoon,” Leach admitted. “I would like to have a pet raccoon again, it’s tough if you travel.”

His busy schedule as a coach will likely prevent him from getting another raccoon, but it sounds like he has some fond memories from the last time he had a raccoon. In many ways, Leach said a pet raccoon is not so different from having a pet cat or dog.

Reporter Jay Sarkar shared video of Leach’s awesome story:
