Mike Leach to Miss. St.

[happy-go_vol]

Ill never forget when leach was the color guy at one of our games. He was talking quidditch. I love that guy

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I was talking about SEC West, because you'd have to add Florida as well if we're mentioning all the SEC.

Ok

I like how he talked about his players after a loss thinking they were great because their fat little girlfriends were telling them they were great.

 

[UTK]

MSU gonna make some noise in a few years but there's a cap at that program

 

[alaVOL]

Pirate will make it fun for the cowbells. They aren't going to win more than 8 games in West with 6-7 being the norm, so why not have fun. Pirate will lose some he shouldn't and win some he shouldn't. Boring he is not though.

Mike Price had a better run at Washington St, and this record is mediocre at best

he had 1 miracle year at Texas Tech when a hail mary beat Texas and he STILL didn't win any titles, and he had one decent year at Washington St where he played a soft schedule and STILL couldnt win the division because he was 1-6 alltime vs his rival...

2000 - 7-6

2018 - 11-2
2019 - 6-7
donors pulled donations because of him, on hot seat left for Mississippi State

Looks like years ending “8” are good for him. Let’s hire him in 2027/2028 and then let him go the next year. Pruitt will be ready to retire then anyway after winning 6 NC’s in a row.

 

[nomads-11]

No more speculation. We about to find out about Leach in this league. Kiffin, as a HC, as well. His time at UT don't count imo. This year is gonna be even more fun to watch, and rant.

People who pine for an average coach who can’t recruit and is good for one decent season every 8 years or so because he is sometimes funny in interviews? Dumb

 

[Carl Pickens]

I hope he wears Kiffin's butt our year after year... If he nails Bama too often he'll get put on probation... LOL

GO VOLS!!!!

That would make him a butt pirate

Relax , he didn’t come here.

 

[Boston Vol]

And Grinch left for greener pastures. Just like Starkville, a quality DC won't stick around for long.

Well ok, after that DC leaves, hire another one to
replace him.

If you think that Mike Leach was on the hot seat, then you’re an imbecile. He was two more losing seasons away from being on the hot seat. And lol at you saying he had one decent season at WASU. The guy took over a trash program and had four years where he won at least 8 games.

One decent season every eight years? Apparently you don’t know a lot about Lubbock, TX or Pullman, WA.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Yes I do. And he did nothing that Sonny Dykes or Mike Price never done. Like win a title

Uh I assume you mean Spike Dykes. Sonny is at SMU.

And was 5-3 vs FCS schools while there. A true coaching legend. Washington St had accomplished more the previous decade than he did. He is a coach who
- can’t recruit
- can’t get a major program to sniff him
- has pissed off donors and AD and fans everywhere he has went
- makes excuses
- never has won a division title
- never has won a major bowl
- consistently loses 4-9 games a season even though he plays some of the weakest schedules in the country

Accomplished more? In the 10 years before him WASU won 48 games. Leach won 55 in 8 years. Paul Wulff nearly destroyed the program. Bill Doba didn’t help matters either.

 

[Big Al Orange]

I did and I’m not ashamed of it! I’m actually an MSU grad. Born and raised here and now raising my family here. I just went to pull out my maroon pants but remembered that I donated them to Goodwill. Oh well I’ll get some more!! #hailstate

There’s a QB headed your way from Fayette Academy in Somerville Tn. His grandfather played at Ms. State and his dad played for Memphis. His name is Rube Scott Rhea. I’ve watched him grow up and followed his HS career. He’s a very smart kid and quick as a cat. Watch for him.

Kiffin and Leach in the SEC West are going to be a lot of fun to watch.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Thx moderators!

 

[UTwild82]

I think he can do roughly what Mullen did there. Win 7-8 games, 9-10 from time to time. He'll get the money at Mississippi State to hire a solid DC. I thought they were crazy for firing Morehead 2 years in, but with this hire it makes sense.

 

[Vol Main]

Officially hired at Miss. St. The pirate is back in the SEC.

Whoa Nelly!

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I think this was probably our best coaching prospect left after the search debacle with Currie until Fulmer got JP.

He would have been the Vols coach if not for his previous lawsuit against TTech. ( I believe that is who he sued for wrongful termination.

Who knows. Saban seems to have lost a step with his constant staff turnover. I have a hard time believing that LSU is sustainable at its present level. Auburn looks like they're about ready to blow themselves up again if Gus doesn't get back to SECCG. The West may be wide open soon.
