Would we be looking at Leach and the future of our program differently if this was a "normal" year and got the chance to beat up on G5 schools 3 or 4 times during the year? (Queue the sky is falling fans claiming we would lose to La Tech and USM this year). If we had a normal schedule, we would...
Snippet from an article in The Seattle Times when Leach was hired at WSU.
"Eventually, Moos (WSU AD) brought up WSU’s new drug policy, particularly as it involved marijuana.
“We have a strict drug-testing plan: Three strikes and you’re out.”
Leach thought for a moment.
“What do you think...
Seems pretty ignorant to be negative about this and compare it to the TS situation just because they would both be products of the transfer portal. When are our fans going to realize nobody had the chance to be successful at our program while Joe Moorhead was the head coach. Yeah we brought in...
Texas Tech has averaged a lower recruiting class ranking since Mike Leach left than what they averaged with him there. And from 2000-2012 WSU averaged a worse class than what they averaged for the last eight years Leach was there. Although Leach didn’t recruit highly to either of these schools...
The more I think about it, the more excited I am if he’s the guy. His fit in Starkville is a big question mark for me, but he’s got a fantastic resume.
Hmmm sounds like he could hire some one as DC with some self control as a play caller and let them call the plays if that’s your only issue with him. Then implement everything else that makes him successful as a DC into his head coaching philosophy.
Oh and maybe we could hire an OC that would...
Why do so many people have a problem with Grantham? Seems like he could be a very similar hire to Pittman at Ark (which is being praised by just about all national media). Could bring in a good and experienced staff and take the “CEO” approach while being the motivator for the team.
Not sure why it runs into a brick wall against Auburn this year when it worked pretty well against them last year. Never tried against Bama and LSU last year, so who knows. Agree it’s not perfect, but I’m starting to feel like the only time our O line can be effective is when we run a simple...
