Mike Leach may have been out of coaching for two seasons, but it doesn't appear his opinions on Craig James and other subjects have mellowed.

The Washington State coach was holding a Q&A on Reddit when asked about James, who helped engineer his departure from Texas Tech at the end of the 2009 season and the possibility of facing his former school.

Here are a couple snippets from the session, courtesy of No2minutewarning.com.

Q: How much do you hate Craig James, I mean seriously?

Leach: I think my opinion is consistent with most of the rest of America's. This is illustrated by a poll done in the Dallas Morning News where people were asked who they would vote for senator: Mike Leach or Craig James. I got 96.5 percent of the vote.

Q: In addition, are there any details from the scandal that didn't surface that you're allowed to talk about?

Leach: I am allowed to talk about any of them. There are a lot of details so you will have to be a little more specific. My position has been proven through THEIR actions, THEIR memos, and THEIR sworn statements. The documentation on this is extensive. Read my book Swing Your Sword which touches on this issue but is mainly about my path into coaching.

Leach later admitted Texas A&M and Nebraska were two of his favorite opponents in the Big 12 and specifically said Kyle Field was one of his top venues.

He refused to identify a favorite player he has coached, instead citing his fondness for overachievers.

Then the topic of concussions and playing Texas Tech came up.

Q: What do you personally think about concussions in college football?

Leach: We always pay special attention to concussions. In 2009, we sat our starting QB down for a month because he had a concussion. I think that it is a sensitive issue that technology needs to address the best they can and doctors have to find a way to clearly define. I have always stayed out of it and left it in the hands of doctors and trainers. That has been my position the entire time that I have been a head coach and any statements contrary to that are completely false.

Q: The Pac-12 and Big-12 share (I believe) 3 bowl bids at the moment. Would you be excited to face TTU one year in a bowl, or would you like to avoid that scenario?

Leach: When I was at Texas Tech, we went to 10 straight bowl games and I fully expect to go to bowl games here at WSU so it is a possibility. I just worry about the next game and play them as they come.
