UT fans don't want middling coaches that come with baggage. So of course they're happy they might have a shot at a guy who in 16 years of coaching has a grand total of one division title, no conference championships, and been accused by players at two different schools of being abusive, to the point he was fired from his previous job.
This just seems like a terrible fit for everybody.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Feldman co-wrote Leach's Swing Your Sword, so you can guess his source. But hey, "the meeting went well" is different than "working on a contract." I'd like to think Leach is smart enough to avoid Knoxville after this debacle, and you gotta put legit fear into your employer if you want leverage for a raise.

I do not choose to discuss it
This feels a lot like Michigan’s coaching search when they ended up with Rodriguez. At this point, they appear to be desperate for anyone who is relatively well known to take the job, regardless of merit or fit, so they can claim a victory with a big splash hire.
It will be interesting to see if the fans keep rejecting everyone, or if they put on a full force cognitive dissonance front and embrace the hire despite having just as many or more flaws than the previous candidates they hated so much (I mean, hell, their top candidate Gruden was a laughably stupid hire, but these people have standards to uphold).

Head Coach
He takes the job if he’s offered Top 5 money with a 6 or 7 year contract. Leach is crazy, but not dumb.

This. Leach is a good coach and a GREAT interview. But, I think he's one of those coaches that belongs at second tier jobs like Texas Tech and Wazzou. Voltards think they should be competing for national titles. Leach is the kind of coach that seems like he'd cap out at 9-10 wins, with the occasional clunker mixed in. He'd last five years there, tops.

Wrong glass, Sir.
I agree. He has UT by the balls, and he's smart enough to squeeze. Write in a gigantic buy-out if they whack him in three years, and then he can go be a part time tv guy afterwards.
