Mike Leach has finalized his 2018 coaching staff by hiring the son of a legendary football coach.

Steve Spurrier Jr., son of former Florida, South Carolina and Washington Redskins head coach Steve Spurrier, has joined Washington State in a yet unannounced role (he will likely end up as the running backs coach or the outside WR coach) following one season at Western Kentucky as the assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach, according to multiple reports.

The BG Daily News in Bowling Green, Ky., where Western Kentucky is located, first reported the news. Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports and coa-uthor of 'Swing Your Sword' reported Wednesday afternoon that Spurrier Jr. was "expected" to be named outside receivers coach.

Previously, Spurrier Jr. spent one season as an offensive analyst at Oklahoma under Bob Stoops (2016) and 11 years as the wide receivers coach at South Carolina under his father. During his time with the Gamecocks, Spurrier Jr. mentored future NFL stars Sidney Rice (Seahawks), Alshon Jeffery (Eagles) and Bruce Ellington (Texans).

At South Carolina, Spurrier Jr. also held titles as passing game coordinator, recruiting coordinator (2011-15) and co-offensive coordinator (2012-15).

Before joining his father at South Carolina in 2005, Spurrier Jr. worked from 1994-2004 in assistant coaching positions at Florida, Oklahoma, Arizona and with the NFL’s Washington Redskins. He won the 2000 national championship as part of Stoops' staff as the Sooner's wide receivers coach and in 1996 as a graduate assistant at Florida.

Spurrier Jr. worked alongside Leach on the Oklahoma staff in 1999, Stoops' first year as Sooners head coach. After leaving Oklahoma, he then coached under his father at the Redskins from 2001-02.
