IF Leach could have Coached K1

If Leach could have coached Russell and Mullen coach Omarr Conner, those are my two favorite what-ifs.
Not a Leach QB. In all likelihood he wouldn’t have signed him. The real what if is if Mullen could have coached him.
Russell would have been perfect for Leach.
I always said that about Omarr too. That guy was the perfect fit for Mullen.
K1 doesn't seem durable enough for Mullen's offense.
Turf toe can happen to anyone. It’s not really a “durable” thing.
With the threat of run and the accurate arm , K1 would have killed it in the Leach system.
Well he has had more than turf toe unfortunately. In High School lost time due to a lower leg injury and in last year's bowl game he went out with an ankle injury, which I believe required surgery.
Leach did not let his QBs run. He did not recruit running QBs. He did not want them. He wanted guys that could get the quick ball out, and that’s really all he wanted. KT is about as far from a Leach QB as you can get. He is completely unsuited for the Leach system.
That is a good point and indictment of our OL recruiting and coaching
KT throwing all those dump passes makes me want to puke
Do yall forget that the conference‘s defenses figured out how to really limit Leach’s offense?
You do realize he was set up to have a 9-10 win season in 23 and his QB set records.
I didn't say he was weak, fragile, soft, etc.
Mullen's QB's tended to be RO more than RPO.
Their arms weren't their greatest strengths.
Kamario's arm is his.

KT would have done just fine in Leach's offense, as would anyone with that strong of an arm. Assuming he got the protection to throw deep and had some good receiver talent, he probaby would have put up insane numbers.
He would have had to eliminate one of his greatest strengths under Leach. Leach did NOT allow his quarterback to run. His strong arm would not have featured under Leach either. Leach QBs were expected to get the ball out short, fast, and accurately, and that’s it. Running and a strong arm were irrelevant in that system.
Who would have been the QB? Leach would never have signed KT. He is completely and absolutely incompatible with the Leach system. He is about as far away from an air raid QB as you can get. His strengths are accuracy on long distance passes and running the ball. This is why I place no weight ever on what your take is.
My favorite what if is Tyson Lee with Kevin Barbay
My favorite what if is the fantasy universe where Mullen signs Cam Newton, Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, and Hurts consecutively.
Leach would have adapted to a Heisman-tier QB's skillset if he'd gotten one.
True dual threat QBs work in any system, dubmass. If you want another example, see Johnny Manziel.
You just have some redass that folks are now finally appreciating Leach the way they should. It's funny when you get all in your feels.

State fans are really dumb about football, and especially the quarterback position.
Would he have? I thought Leach pretty much just ran his system, period....
No he wasn't. There was going to be a drop off because the defensive talent was running out.
Leach never would have signed him. Not his kind of QB.
You guys must not have watched the LSU game with Costello. Dump passes ? Also how many yards did K1 rush for in the first 4 games this year ? Obviously none since but go ahead and look
You is a dumb, stupid boy
Speaking of Leach, his last QB signee now has Austin Peay 7-2 and putting up numbers. Might be worth it for Lenny to re-sign him for his 5th year for a final shot at the big time.
Well, it happened on a what looked to be a fairly routine tackle in the Missouri game. I am starting to wonder if K1 can stay healthy for a full season. Some guys just seem to be prone to injury (like Shapen) and others, like Arch Manning, can take blow after blow and pop right back up for more. Just not sure K1 is built to be very durable.
Just curious, do you think K1 was not accurate enough for Leach, or that he takes too long to make his reads?
I get that Leach would not have cared that K1 can run, but he wanted passers who were accurate and made quick decisions. It's not like Leach demanded QB's who COULDN'T run. K1's mobility would just be a bonus on those plays where he couldn't make the quick read and had to scramble.
Yep, that's what the older hard-liners can't understand.
Leach with Taylor would look like Texas A&M 2012.
I think receiving group in Leach's system would have been the thing to dream about. So much speed.
