Air raid in the SEC? That should be fun.

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.

So, a good fit at UT, then?

If Tennessee is lucky enough to get the pirate, they should be ecstatic.

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.

You think it’s realistic to win Conf Championships in Lubbock and Pullman? The dude is a very good coach. If he was at a bigger school and paid a little more attention to defense he’d be a tough out. The ole ball coach is one of the best coaches in the last few decades IMO and doesn’t tarnish that reputation just because he never brought a CC title to S Carolina.

Leach at interview meeting: "I am thinking of a number......."

Leach was Hal Mumme's QBC/OC at Kentucky in 1997 & 1998. Produced Tim Couch.

Yasssssss I love that this is an indefinite coaching search. They’re going to be summoning Butch Jones back like “we’re still paying you.”

I agree with what you are saying in some aspects. However, S. Carolina has good football in state and in surrounding areas (GA, TN, NC and playing in the SEC gives him decent access to FL as well to go along with his past history in that state.) Spurrier was at the state school and Clemson wasn’t Clemson at the time. He definitely could have done better. A CC shouldn’t have been too much to ask.

21-11 overall, 6-10 SEC.

Major improvement vs Butch the last 2 years.

13-12 and 4-12.

They don't deserve Leach. I want the fire to rage for at least another week before they have to settle for a running backs coach from Directional Tennessee State.

I'm going to be so sad when this all ends

Agreed. Hopefully this firing will extend the search and and Leach won’t be an option.

If someone can photoshop Leach into this picture, I'd be forever grateful.
