Poll: Mike Leach Approval [VolNation overwhelmingly supports Mike Leach]

[edyeary]

NO!!! Sick of gimmick offenses!!

Yes sick of vanilla offense.

 

[WhitewaterVol]

Why not re Leach

Probably because the Haslams would never approve. They want a mediocre up and comer that can be controlled.

Leach shoots from the hip and has no filter.

 

[gemlek]

Decent coach with a low ceiling. He is that eccentric uncle who shows up to the family potluck thanksgiving dinner mumbling to himself, disheveled, and borderline embarrassing. I think Leech will have some truly cringe moments. Can get us that 7-9 wins/ year. Light years better than Schitiano and Doedingbat. Wish Currie had thrown $7M+/year at Mullins. We might have been able to outbid UF. A good AD could have made the argument that UT is a better place to be. If we were going to take a flyer.....Tee has orange blood. Would not have been a mercenary willing to leave to the highest bidders!

I will agree with you on that

 

[volcop1]

Would you approve of Mike Leach as UT's head coach?

Please leave a reason why or why not.

I'm keeping track of all the approval ratings.

:hi:

what good are non-scientific polls ???? not much

 

[CAVPUT]

Huge hell yes!

If you enjoyed watching a Butch Jones UT team run jet sweeps from the shotgun on the 1 yard line because they had zero power running game, you'll absolutely LOVE Mike Leach's team having to pass every time on the one yard line because he has even less of a power running game. Defense? What defense, his philosophy is let the other team score quickly so he can get the ball back and score. You'll see some of the worst beat downs in history if the guy shows up as UT football coach. You'll see teams in the SEC pile up scores in the 60s and 70s against us. I am an obvious no.

It would be nice you included the # of respondents as well for your stat %.

Have you looked at WSU’s stats? I would think not

Apparently you don't watch them play. Leach has a very good defense that is ranked about 15th nationally. The difference between Butch's goal line offense and Leach's is tha Leach's offense scores touchdowns.

 

[allvol123]

90% support?

Quite foolish.

Enjoy your 50-25 type scores against Bama, georgia, etc.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Less baggage than the rest of the possibilities. It should have been Campbell at the start.

 

[T.G.]

Is a hotdog a sandwich? hahahahaha

 

[YankeeVol]

Yes.

Purely for his interaction with the Knoxville media

 

[ttocswob]

This would be a good hire for hire for the Vols. We lived in the Seattle area before and know that WSU and Pullman is a tough place to have a winning program. Leach turned their fortunes around. I see no reason at all that he will get the Vols back on track.

Agree with your last sentence...

Irrelevant at this point, IMO. Deal will likely fall thru at the last minute, over eyepatch royalties, or some such... irate:

 

[CPA]

Yes.

 

[catss350]

Yes!!! He seems a lot like Spurrier. Worked out pretty well for them.

 

[Coach_Z]

NO!!! Sick of gimmick offenses!!

At this point, TEs and FBs is a gimmick offense. If it moves the ball down the field, who cares.

Take your metamucil and relax.

 

[LouderVol]

 

[orangeblooded2]

Well the players won't be getting kicked off of the team because they feel they are being held back offensively! I miss the epic first play of the game Bombs and wide open offensive UT was always known for.

 

[vol66]

When is the last time 90% of a fan base ANYWHERE agreed on Anything.

They are literally saying We don’t give a ****, WE $ know more than you.

This is sickening.

 

[camp_steveo]

WNML is saying Currie was fired for going after Leach. WTH?

 

[sona]

They better march out with a Gruden if we can have the Pirate...I don't buy Phil ruining this either. If anything, he is probably the one that leaked Schiano while Currie was in the air. GBO.

 

[UT_King]

Leach > Fulmer's list

 

[LocoVol]

Leach > Fulmer's list

True but we are to dumb for good hires like him phil has to find a phil clone.
