If you thing the league overall is comparable you are not very bright and not worth the time to try and explain it.

Um actually I really wasn't sure. For some reason I was thinking they were. Nice try.

And no, you actually have some decent things to say. Unlike my first guy on the list. If it worked correctly this time.

Brian Kelly's team gave up 52 points to Oklahoma
does he even have a defensive coordinator?

I get the sense that there is some resistance from some against Leach as a head coach for TN....or am I misreading some of these posts? :eek:lol:

I like the guy and think he would do us well. Beyond that, everyone is entitled to call it how they see it. :good!:

I no longer want Leach

I now want Brian Kelly
his 17-15 win over the mighty Zips of Akron still gives me goosebumps

Like it was said in the "Gruden" thread, "One hundred pages about a guy who aint coming to Tennessee." to paraphrase.

Can somebody explain why Florida's offense keeps getting brought up as an answer to whether or not Leach's offense can work in the SEC? Anybody? Apparently those people dont actually watch UF football games. They dont throw the ball all over the field. They dont throw 40-50 passes a game. Its not even remotely the same as Leach's offense.

:shhh: Don't bring logic into this discussion.

Chris Petersen is a clone of Urban Meyer because they both had success at a school out west.
Leach is also a clone of Urban Meyer because they both run a version of the spread offense.

I would say it is still a variant of the spread, which at least puts it in the same category. Nevertheless, even if he comes and produces and offense similar to what KY had under him, I would be happy. That offense combined with this year's defense at UT and it is a COMPLETELY different season.

After thinking about this thread more, I must say may God help this poor guy if he comes to UT.

He's already got the majority of the toughest critics on this board against him.

They'll rip him to shreds. He won't last two seasons in Knoxville if he doesn't win the SEC in the first or second. And, Hamilton would be ridden out of town with him.

Leach may not know this... but Hamilton is no fool. This guy's candidacy is officially dead.

Leach, who serves as his own offensive coordinator, is the foremost authority on the passing game. He has had the top passing team in the country in five of his eight seasons in Lubbock, and his passing offense is on top again this season.

Leach does believe in having a balanced offense, though. The difference is that his idea of balance is more about the distribution of the football between all of the eligible receivers and ballcarriers and making the defense defend the entire length and width of the field on every single play. Whether you throw it to a person or hand it to him doesn't really matter as long as you make the defense defend him and the area he is in.

Can you imagine Leach at one of the elite programs in America, the kind that gets all the best players? No telling what kind of offensive numbers they would be putting up. I could just see Graham Harrell throwing to two or three Michael Crabtrees with a couple of Knowshon Morenos in the backfield and a USC -caliber defense that only gives up 6.7 points a game. I honestly believe he could average 80 to 90 points per game.
