Mike Leach looks back on Tennessee’s coaching search

[Titans Fan]

Leach says Tennessee is a great program and the Vol Navy is a captivating visual.

PODCAST: Mike Leach

 

[Ten_Titans]

We would have had a lot of fun with Leach. We would have been a 10 win program, never more, with every press conference being must see TV.

 

[musolfmj]

I think he's a pretty cool dude, but never wanted him here. Quite happy about having the coach we hired.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Leach would have fit in perfectly here since he hates that ignorant POS, Dan Wolken, more than we do.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

He wil go to Kentucky whenever they fire Stoops.

 

[crazyguy]

I was happy to have him over some of the other options. But also looking forward to see what our current HBC can do.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

We needed a top tier recruiter more than we needed a brilliant offensive mind. Would've been a fun, completely controversial hire but don't think he would've done well here.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

I think the Leech, sorry, Leach would have been a hit. He saw the UT as perfect to regain his mojo and make a really big name for himself. He'd have done it too. I have no idea how good our defense would have been but we'd have been a team that piled up points and highlight reel material every week. I also think we'd have had QBs and WRs who might want to have vied with one another to play here. Speed kills would have been more than a motto with ole Mike at the helm.

 

[YankeeVol]

He would have been fun to watch with the Knoxville media.

I don't think he'd have been very successful though.

 

[k-town_king]

After some of his recent antics I'm glad we didn't hire him.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I would have been happy with Leach.

Sure, he’s an odd dude but the man knows how to coach.

Not to mention he’d be the type of guy who wouldn’t take sh*t from our Administration.

 

[super MOM]

He wil go to Kentucky whenever they fire Stoops.

And he'll win.

 

[LordBolton]

He wil go to Kentucky whenever they fire Stoops.

It will be the Air Raid all over again.

 

[TopsideVol]

Mike would’ve been comedy hour. We’d at least try to outscore people and not kick from the 1. He’s a smart guy albeit strange but with a good staff he could flip a program year 1. Not 0 like Dooley making excuses.

 

[livefaith]

Leach would have fit in perfectly here since he hates that ignorant POS, Dan Wolken, more than we do.

Not sure how ignorant he is. I think he's just a another corrupt and lying fake news type who is enamored with his own sense of self importance. Fits right in at Gannett.

Mostly he's embarrassed that he's being called out now for his hypocrisy. Journalists rely on and depend on their reader's forgetfulness.

We didn't forget. He's lying to cover his a$$ bc he's too stubborn to cut his losses and fess up.

 

[ru4real-really?]

I still can't believe Currie got fired for hiring him!

 

[General Jack]

We would have had a lot of fun with Leach. We would have been a 10 win program, never more, with every press conference being must see TV.

Agree but I’m kind of over winning only the press conference.

 

[VolForLife83]

It's indisputable folks

 

[TGFHeupel16]

We wouldn’t be 11th in the nation in recruiting with Leach as coach after a 4-8 season. I think We ended up with the Best possible coach we could’ve

The only reason I would have wanted to see Mike Leach would be to see if we got a genuine pirate ship to join the Vol Navy

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I wish we would’ve hired him instead of Pruitt. Flame away.

 

[lukeneyland]

He wil go to Kentucky whenever they fire Stoops.

I really hope not he's a pretty decent coach

 

[stevenrich2003]

Not sure about the 10 win program thing.. We would have been better but I think thats a stretch.

The pressers would be must watch.

 

[Tin Man]

The Pirate likes the Vol Navy. Arrr...

 

[dcm3w]

It will be the Air Raid all over again.

I think the Air Raid in the SEC with SEC talent would really shakeup the conference for 2-3 years.
