Mike Leach

[-THE DUDE-]

There's not much i wouldn't take over mac...muscrap, the ogre, and butch would be on that list... but not much else

You really think this guy would ever hire Mike Leach?

Ummm.....he gave McElwain, Nord, and Nusschamp a raise and a contract extension. So, yeah. I think he would.

He has a 33 - 34 record at Washington State. Sounds like a slam dunk hire to me.

I can't believe such a blatantly ignorant comment like this got 9 likes. Here are Wash State's records of the previous seasons before Leach arrived.

2008 (2-11)
2009 (1-11)
2010 (2-10)
2011 (4-8)

25 of those losses came in Leach's first 3 seasons while trying to completely rebuild the program from the ground up. Since then, he's gone 9-4, 8-5, and is now 6-0. He's done a remarkable job. Think before posting such nonsense. You must be a CNN fan.

Thanks. I need more dislikes to be considered a legitimate poster.

Just gave you another one!! :D

You really think this guy would ever hire Mike Leach?

Thankfully, no.

While I think he's an interesting dude and a good offensive mind, I don't think he's cut out for the job. Let's find the RIGHT guy next time around.

Which would be who, be very specific. Then indicate the amount of pay you are willing to spend to get him.

Let's start with a fantasy, I want Nick Saban and I will pay him 100M per year. Where this money is coming from I don't know, and I also don't know if say Bama might pay him 101M to stay.

I'd take Leach just for the sheer entertainment value.

Yep. Definitely would have been more entertaining than the dull, sh*t show these two coaches we've had the last 7 years. In fact, if he had been here the last 7 years I'm certain we'd be in no worse shape than we're in now....we'd have at least one 11 win season....at least 2 SECCG appearances.....and our offense would not rank in the 100's.

I'm almost at this point. At least it would be fun. I'd rather see us lose 62-49 than 17-16.

 

[TLB]

I'd take Leach just for the sheer entertainment value.

I'd love to see him at an SECWest school. For the more frequent entertainment closer to home, but not leading my team.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

Leach's stream of consciousness answers would get very old after a few losses. He'll be a good coach for someone but not at Florida.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Meh, he's a drunk that wears out his welcome before too long.....

Seems to have been a requirment on the Mumme/Leach/Holgerson tree.

 

[T REX]

Dude is obviously a smart guy. I think he's more suited to that 2nd tier of schools a la WAZZU.

Not sure he'd do well in this pressure cooker. I still have a hard time with so many people babying Mac. Dude is going to walk away with $24+ mill minimum from UF.

 

[NVGator]

I'd take Mike Leach in a nanosecond.

How many times does it need to be said? It's all about what have you done for me lately? In the case of Washington State, lots. 6-0, first in the Pac 10 North, 40 points a game, 17th in the nation in third-down conversions and 11th -- that's right -- in total defense.

Stanford is coming, but you have to be impressed with what Leach has done so far this season.
