LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers says the school is negotiating a contract extension with Mike Leach, amid reports that the Red Raiders coach has met with the University of Washington about the Huskies' top job.

Myers wouldn't confirm or deny newspaper reports that Leach was in Seattle this week to talk to UW officials. Myers said Leach didn't seek permission for an interview and that he hadn't been contacted by Washington.

Leach didn't return a call seeking comment Wednesday.

Leach has two years remaining on a five-year contract and is making $1.75 million this season.

The Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported the Leach-UW meeting, citing unidentified sources.
