Mike Leach (HC Mississippi State, a National Treasure, R.I.P.)

The Leach-James thing actually reminds me quite a bit of the Gary Barnett-Katie Hnida mess at Colorado. A coach got stuck with a player he didn't want (hard to say if Leach really wanted James or if the powers that be made him offer him a schollie and Barnett inherited Hnida from Neuheisel) and who couldn't help the team, but who he couldn't get rid of, tried to deal with it as best he could and finally got so frustrated that he just lost his cool and made an error in judgment that gave his enemies a chance to hang him.

In both cases, there were also hostile unofficial actors at work (da big booster at TTU, and the politically correct feminist and opportunist wings of Boulder, CO). I know plenty of people here castigated Barnett re: Hnida and are pro-Leach here . . . but I think I know more about the Barnett deal than most people here so I'll claim to be right.

Rumors circulating around message boards (ESPN for one, I highly recommend them because they're easy to follow) is that Leach is going to USF.

I really don't care if it's true or not, I just like the thought of Leach coaching in a stadium with a great big pirate ship!

(* Personally I find it unbelieveable that USF would hire a coach accused of locking a player in a shed after they just fired their coach for hitting a player, but I can dream this rumor is true).

The circle of lunacy would be complete.

Awesome.

Or, Skip Holtz could leave East Carolina for one of the current openings, then Leach could replace him at ECU and coach the Pirates. :pirate1:
