A part of Leach's Bio on WSU site. With a good DC, he would win here and win big!

Prior to coming on board at Texas Tech, Leach, in just one season at Oklahoma, directed a Sooner offense that went from one of the worst in the Big 12 Conference to one of the best. Leach guided an Oklahoma offense that went from 11th in the Big 12 in 1998 to first in 1999 and 101st in the nation to 11th. In just one year, OU’s total offense numbers improved from 293.3 to 427.2 yards per game. Under Leach, the Oklahoma offense set six Big 12 Conference and 17 OU records.

Prior to joining Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma staff, Leach served as offensive coordinator for Hal Mumme at the University of Kentucky and Valdosta (Ga.) State University. Under Mumme and Leach, the Kentucky offense set six NCAA records, 41 Southeastern Conference records and 116 school records in 22 games.
Named 1996 Division II Offensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Quarterly magazine, Leach helped Mumme lead Valdosta State to a 40-17-1 record. The 1993 Blazer offense smashed 66 school records, 22 conference records and seven national records. In 1994, Valdosta State advanced to the Division II playoffs with Leach’s offense shattering 80 school records, 35 conference records and seven more national marks

Yes he has. When Leach was OC At Kentucky he burnt up the SEC. Week in and week out.

Oh yeah, they were a real powerhouse.

1997 they went 5-6 (with Tim Couch) 2-6 in conference play.
1998 they wen 7-4 (with Tim Couch) but just 4-4 in conference play.

I do not think with just two years and these results prove Mike Leach to be tearing it up. Go ahead and blame the defense, if they were so blasted great they would have outscored their opponents regardless. Get real!

They can't.

Apparently they didn't watch the offensively-oriented Hugh Freeze run that Alabama defense ragged during his last three years with a passing offense.

Nope. We've got to run an offense that never extends the field of defensive coverage beyond the first down marker.

Why? Because passing beyond the sticks just doesn't work in the SEC.

When Leach was rumored to be coming here, it was compared by some to Steve Spurrier going to Florida in 1990. I tend to agree with that.

One thing is for sure, the Tennessee offensive record books would have been re-written.

To eliminate social media backlash the new coach will be announced during Labor Day weekend.

My point exactly, Missouri scored alot of points this yr. Didn't play for any titles. Need Defense to win in the SEC

You need both to win in the SEC and win in the playoffs. Just like all 4 teams that are in the playoff this year.

That's why Leach would need a good DC hire.

The days of shutting the other team out are over. You must put up plenty of points also.

2016 case in point. Clemson 35 Alabama 31.........
