I don't believe it. There is no way Leach would tell them yes right before the big game he has tonight.

Terrible idea. Leach would be gone in 3 years.

Why? If his offense works in the Big 12, it'll work in the SEC. He'll be able to get better recruits, which will lead to a better defense. And do you not think that WR's and QB's will want to come to a high profile school where they could put up huge numbers? I mean, I don't see a downside.

Why would we want Leech? No way we could run his offense and it has took him a long time to get a team that can contend. He is just the hot name because he has a top 3 team right now, big deal. The only way I would take him is if he brings Michael Crabtree with him and he stays for his last 2 years.

I can only recall Leach facing one SEC team while at Texas Tech. He scored like 10 points in a loss. Our wide receivers and QBs would be straight dominated by the SEC defenses. The Big 12 is toward the bottom of defenses as far as BCS conferences go.

Leach's teams beat 2 Ole Miss teams with Eli Manning at the helm both times and lost to Alabama by 3 a few years ago.

Yeah,, I love all the it won't work in the SEC when it already has at Kentucky with Kentucky talent. We were at the height of our talent pool when we played them and usually couldn't stop them. They led the SEC in total yardage I believe.

We run one of the most conservative offenses in the land which is very easy to defend yet I haven't heard these same people arguing for the last 10 years that it won't work in the SEC. Well guess what?? Our conservative scheme isn't getting it done anymore. This same mindset is what has kept Fulmer around.

I don't know who the best person is for the job and I don't care who they bring in -no one is going to win every game. You're going to have your occasional Florida losses to Ole Miss, your USC loss to Stanford, etc.. the list goes on and on. Even the best coaches have those games. I would just for once like for our offense to be feared.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!!I'm not quite sure how people can be so adamant that Leach's offense wouldn't work in the SEC. I'm not saying he's my first choice for coach or that the things he has done might not be as easy in the SEC. But we definitely need a completely new identity, primarily on O. I think Leach would bring that. And I think we could bring in some big time playmaker recruits. It's obvious the current system in place isn't working, so maybe something drastic like bringing Leach in is the answer. I just know for a fact that you guys can't emphatically say that he would be a terrible selection. That's just your opinion.

Nice comment on ML by the abc announcers: "it seems like he is always one step ahead of whatever adjustments the other team is trying to make."

Sounds like a nice change for UT foot ball.

Another plus hiring leach (or another active college coach) would be luring some of his top recruits along with him. With the great class of verbals we have now plus a few top recruits with the hire would be freakin awesome !!

Many types of offenses can work in the sec if the right individuals are running it. With that said I don't think leach would fail in that aspect after a few seasons. My biggest concerns are how long it took for him to be where he is now with TT and the defensive aspect scares me. I have seen nothing but shootouts in the big 12 and that is what will not fly in the sec. I know that others will argue that TT has a defense, but I just don't feel confident in his defense. I could be wrong and I will pay close attention in the game tonight, but I would much rather have a gruden. But if TT wins a few more and has a good bowl game I really don't see him leaving.

Anyone at this point that can turn this team that we saw today in a better direction is fine by me.

I am impressed with the Tex Tech offense. Imagine them black jerseys clad in orange...that would bring the excitement back to k`ville. And i think we have better, faster athletes (except at qb). Tajh Boyd would fit well in this scheme dont yall think ???
