Not really the same argument. And Leach isn't close to getting a professional job.

I say it's a fair argument and at this point in their respestive careers I think Leach has more to offer. I've been a Leach fan for years and is my # 1 other than Cowher but he's a real long shot.

There haven't been any big names dropping like flies. A few guys have refused to express interest while they guide their current team through the rest of the season. That's completely normal. Fulmer's firing was announced how long ago? Two weeks? Relax.

Exactly. We've had reqs open for months at my company just for "sales people", they are following a process and will hire the right person for UT.

Well you can't base the OU game on how good of a coach he is...He has beaten OU 2 out of the last 3 timed they have played but make no mistake about it, OU is a damn fine team and will be a challenge for anyone who faces them...Certainly going to be the game of the week for sure...What makes me laugh is if Leach loses the game then the nay sayers will be out in force on the board screaming about what a loser he is yet the guy/guys they are backing have losses as well...Don't base it on that stuff or We will never get a head coach

quit holding Leach to a higher standard than the other candidates

none of the other candidates for the Tennessee job could have taken over a lowly Texas Tech program and won the Big 12 South during a period where OU and Texas have been so dominant and each won National Championships

NONE

and please don't even try to make a case that they could. Again, it's Texas F'ing Tech

Yea i know but they will defend Kelly or Davis when they make bad calls and lose to inferior teams.

148 pages and there are still posters tyring to paint the Texas Tech program as UT-Chattanooga when Leach took over. Until this season (one season) the Texas Tech program has been in the same position it was in before Leach. Almost identical records. Why do we continue to lie and say Texas Tech was in bad shape when he took over?

a better comparison would be expecting South Carolina to rise up and challenge Florida and Tennessee for SEC East titles back in the 90's

Yes, I know
My point is, Leach's detractors are basically insinuating that Leach is not a suitable candidate because he has not yet won the Big 12 South

I would contend that none of the current candidates could have taken a Texas Tech program to a Big 12 South title during a period that's seen such dominance from Texas and OU, with both schools winning national championships and winning 10-12 games per year

All that said, the fact that Leach is 10-0 and one win away from just such an accomplishment is extremely impressive

One year doing it out of 9 really isn't that impressive.

A great coach wins more than 8 games a year. Tennessee just fired a guy that averaged that this decade.

Don'tyou know?? He did it at TT in Lubbock recruiting against the powers of Texas and Oklahoma. He would be top dog and pull every major recruit in the South. Forget Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Alabama, and Florida.

in your opinion, amongst the other candidates for the Vol coaching job, which one(s) would have been able to take the Texas Tech program to a Texas/OU level?

Leach hasn't done it yet until he beats Oklahoma for the third time in his 9th try.
