Didn't Sumlin turn us down? How would that make Tennessee racist? We offered a fired black coach a job. Get real people.
 
I think its going to take a good 3 years to really install this offense

as long as progress is seen on the field the fans with give Leach time...

One thing for sure...Tennessee is going to have to recruit some REAL receivers....and not ones who limp off the field every time they are tackled...

If Leach comes to Tennessee a lot of what has been going on for years will come to an end

Call me crazy. call me crazy, but for someone reason I am more hype for this hire than any of the other potential coaching candidates. Yes that includes: Gruden, Petersen, Gundy, Brohm etc...

I just think that out of all the great coaches we could of gotten. Mike Leach was the most realistic hire and yes he is a great coach. I am actually completely 100% buying into this coach. I was about 90% bought into Gruden, 60% bought into Petersen, 75% bought into Gundy. etc.... 100% Mike Freakin Leach. Lets go, I truly believe he has what it takes to turn this football program around.

If Haslam blocks this, there is no hope at all for Tennessee football, and every single season ticket should be cancelled

Gee... if Leach has problems with his offense in the SEC, I wonder if he’s clever enough to fix it?

I believe Vanilla Ice said it best
 
Leach has never had the benefit of a premier location or program to recruit to

If he builds an elite recruiting team, he doesn’t even have to do the heavy lifting.
 
The only way this circus act of a coaching search could come to and end and it somehow actually paints the perfect picture and makes sense would be to hire the craziest, weirdest, smartest, offensive genius, pirate of coach Mike Leach.
 
Agreed, I am not sure why it wasn't announced tonight. But if it isn't announced by 11 tomorrow then its as good as dead...

I'm not sure I'd go that far. Remember, they are 3hrs behind us and, if Leach has any loose ends to tie up or team meetings to address before being announced, it could cause a later press release. We'll probably see some serious leaks by 11am though . . . hopefully.
 
Just Hire the Dam Guy

Just freaking give him whatever he wants. It's obvious he wants to be a legend of a coach one day and he can do that at Tennessee. So lets get it done.

West coast 11 am will be our 2 pm
 
I love love love the fact that after I’ve been off the grid for 5 hours that I come back to the inter webz and see Mike Leach is poised to take over the program.

This. Is. Awesome.

So poetic to such a wild search.

That's the thing. OM had to cheat their asses off to get recruits to their 30k stadium. The big guys get the big recruits. Just the way it is. It takes something either shady or spectacular for the little guys to get big time classes.

Leach has been able to make something of those marginal prospects. He can flat out coach and now he'll have the chance to do so with elite talent. People say he recruits to his system -- all coaches do -- now he can pick up a 4* or 5* that fits instead of 2* and 3*s.

Can't sleep.... still waiting for a leak....that's how hooked I am on this hire

Have to wake up in 5 hours and not the least beat sleepy..PLEASE...It would be the first time I am actually truly excited in my heart of hearts that Tennessee actually has chance of returning to the national stage. Everyone knew Dooley or Butch was never going to bring us back to relevancy. Mike Leach even though he may be any odd ball, he brings hope and excitement back to UT for the first time in a long time.

I don't believe UT can allow another coach to turn us down yet again. We are the laughing stock of National media. We must get this right. We must do whatever it takes. Whatever the sacrifice, we must get this done.

Tennessee deserves this hire. We deserve to come out on top for once.
