He might not be as much of a cultural disconnect as you'd think. Leach isn't a southerner, but he's originally from and has spent his entire life in areas off the beaten path (grew up in Wyoming, has been a HC in Lubbock, TX and Pullman, WA). Also spent time at Valdosta St, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. He's probably too quirky for Starkville, but part of his shtick is also being in something of an overlooked, underdog role that people underestimate. That fits Miss St pretty well. He's certainly a better fit culturally than Joe Moorhead.Cultural disconnect is a good way to put it for sure lol

He also contrasts quite nicely with Lane and Ole Miss, which of course is the hoity toity, cool kid crowd.
