Good for him.

Still think he’s a great HC.

That's good. I didn't really want him at UT, but I also wouldn't want him with our rivals. We won't play them for a long time, so maybe they can be a thorn in Alabama's side.

hahah great now we will get to see how overrated he really is

He’s never been a great recruiter or had very good defenses. I think he is a entertaining coach and I like his offensive scheme. If nothing else his pressers should be very fun to watch.

He’s got better resources to work with now.

Plus he can always hire a top notch DC.

It's just talk right now but rumors of Mike Leach to Miss. State is rumbling according to @bobounds

 

[AllVols]

interesting.

That is true better than what he had at Texas Tech and Wash. St

Leach vs Kiffin in the Egg Bowl, that should be a treat

he will do the same he did at kentucky...set tons of "records" with meaningless yards and meaningless points and go .500 while giving up 40-50 points a game

 

[peaygolf]

And Leach was this close(*) to being in Knoxville

 

[Hunerwadel]

He actually seems like a pretty good fit at MSU IMO.

I think he'll be good for jumping up and surprising someone once a year out in the west.

 

[Shocker0]

For once, Mississippi State may at least be tolerable to watch. I like this hire and if he does have success, it won't really hurt us any.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Wow he finally got a half way decent HC opportunity. Now the SECW has a clown HC.

At least until the cow bells start ringing.

The bad news is you'll have to score 40 points to beat him. The good news is it probably won't be that hard.

Wow!!

Miss. St. did good at getting him!!

 

[OrangeSoddyDaisy]

Between him, Kiffin, and you know who...we got potential for a real clown show in the SEC. Does the Commissioner not have the authority to vet any of these hires?

 

[Lane Train 4]

Who all just became sorta low key Mississippi State fans?

 

[DoyleMcOrange]

Good for him.

Still think he’s a great HC.

yep, he is.

 

[tnvols72]

If Leach wants a good DC , he might want to keep Shoop , That would be better than any DC he has come up with in the past

 

[JohnnyJava]

I wonder if they will keep Shoop?
