If ou last coach had beaten our in state rival the last 2 years and gone bowling, he's have a 4 year extension. What do they want in Stankyville? I disagree with you on this 1005. We'll just see how he does. Maybe he gets rid of the bells.

He aint going to put up 50 in the SEC.   Leach will bring a scheme that will move the ball, but in the SEC he wont be able to score inside the 20.  He wont be able to recruit the studs he needs to beat the big dogs.  His career as a HC is to use under recruited guys to out scheme other under recruited guys.  At Texas Tech. he was notorious for scheduling 1-AA and D2 schools to win the first 4 games of the year, then beating schools like Kansas, Ok St, Baylor, Iowa St, etc who were all garbage during Leach's days in Lubbock. In 10 years at Tech, he was 5-21 against texas, OU and Neb, the top 3 in the conference.

At Was St he had the 1 great year when he got lucky on a grad transfer Gardner Minchew, even after that year he was a 36-36 coach in conference at Was St.   IN a TERRIBLE Pac 12.

Look, I have know the Leach for 20 years, he is what he is. Can out scheme teams that dont have as much talent or sometimes equal talent. But he is not a recruiter, doesnt put in the time to recruit as he feels he can out scheme and out coach everyone.  He will be at another place in Starkville that is hard as hell to recruit to just like Lubbock and starkville..

The media has made him out this mad scientist because he is good as soundbites. I look at things deeper.

I look at what he has actually done as a coach.

8 years as a HC, ZERO conference titles, ZERO New Years Day bowls ( sorry, dont count the cotton bowl as they were demoted years ago)

he is a .500 coach against D-1 schools, that is it.

In typical Leach style, he schedules a terrible 1-AA team in Tenn State for 2021
