11/30- Leach and UT Reportedly Working On A Deal

[BJSforVols]

Can he recruit in the SEC successfully? I know he's known for getting a lot out of players others don't won't, but could he recruit players all want if he's at a school like TN where players are looking for a reason to want to like it?

 

[volzfanz]

UNder the circumstances it’s a big win. Good coach and media loves him

Sumlin >>> Leach

This is a terrible hire.

No clue what you’re talking about

 

[Fighting Possum]

Why is he described as former Texas tech coach instead of wash st coach?

Because it's a Dallas station

 

[JCHateSteve]

Tennessee orange pirate ship in the vol navy? That could work. Ill believe it when I see it though.

Newby is their jimmy hyams.

 

[Trey1523]

I would be interested in approval for this hire. Can anybody make a poll? Gotta get my stats up.

This is a terrible hire.

Uhhh...what?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Don’t mess this up Currie!!!

Mike Leach to captain Vol Navy? Tennessee reportedly interviews Wazzu coach

 

[I Love Lamp]

Sumlin >>> Leach

This is a terrible hire.

I would be fine with either one. It’s not Schiano or Freakin Dave Doeren.

This is a terrible hire.

OH shut up no it isn’t.

Edit: ok where the hell is our support poll people?! We’ve had 10 others in the last 48 hours

Wrong again, shocking.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Uhhh...what?

Been off the internet for a while.

Didn't see that Sumlin turned us down.

Well, most things are the exact opposite of what you predict, so ill take it.

Early pools on twitter show this would be a favorable hire. 70% in favor last time I saw it.

 

[Cdywolfe]

For me he's in the "not a top pick but could certainly do way worse" category.

 

[508mikey]

Is this deal a raise and extension at Washington state? Our AD seems to be proficient at that.

Last I saw WSU didnt have an AD yet

 

[wtmvol]

Leach was definitely in my top 50. Could work. Probably won’t.

TOS indicated the talks never really even got off the ground with Sumilin.

 

[B-sideVol18]

Why is he described as former Texas tech coach instead of wash st coach?

Because Newy is a Dallas based reporter and possibly got his info from a Tech person

 

[KPT_VFL]

Rioting over Schiano and Doeren acceptable. Leach is a good hire especially the way this search has gone. Bring on the pirate!

Mike Leach is a talented piece of trash. We don't need an amoral piece of trash at Tennessee.
