He may actually be nuts. Don't think he would be a good fit here.

Mike Leach

He's perfect for this place.
I think he would be perfect. He would fit right in with all the other nuts around here. Seriously though, he would be on my list to interview.
He's 100% comfortable in his own skin.
Most interviews I read with him he's completely honest without being an annoying a-hole -- which is a very fine line.
Most coaches stay far to one side of that line (like Riley) or far to the other side of it (like Pelini)

He is my first choice BECAUSE he is awesome like this. Players would love that. Ever met a Nebraskan drinking Busch Light in every small town bar in the state? Guy is a dead ringer for them.
CFB used to be filled with colorful characters like him. I would love it because he would piss of our media.
The world needs more guys like Mike Leach. We just don't need him as our coach. 
guess building programs, winning wherever you go, and having a unique personality doesn't fit Nebraska's "culture".
Apparently the only coaches that we should be interested in are the ones that are about to be canned by their current program. Like Riley and Bielema.
Dude built programs in freaking Lubbock and Pullman, and he doesn't talk in coach speak. He could kill it here, but our fanbase would freak out.
Our fan base will freak out no matter who we hire. Just par for the course here. Whoever we hire must have skin as thick as a rino's! Ha
I like the guy, I like him as a coach, he is a winner and a program builder. Saying all that I don't really care for his offensive style. I wish him luck but he aint coming here. (at least thats what Moos says)

So in what big pond was he a failure? Or was his failure the fact he was never an NU player or assistant coach?
He passes the gawd dam ball to much but he has been a pretty good coach with an identity. He would not be my first choice but a good plan B
This is probably one of the most sane things he's ever said.
Leach is definitely my #2 but he can't be hired here. Moos can't hire him. That would burn a major bridge between and his former employer/ alma mater and he won't sh*t on them like that. It's one thing to leave the school for a different job but another thing to take the only thing their athletics has going for them right now, Mike Leach. They had 2 great things when Moos was there. Now they are down to 1.
But as far as the video goes, it's 100% spot on. Best quote was "after its done, you will wish you had eloped" and I had a really fun wedding. But I remember thinking at the end of the reception thinking WTF was that?

I never said he was a failure. He does better in a small pond (Pullman) where he can be the center of attention. And that has to do with his personality - not his coaching ability.
Not sure where you got the bit about "or was his failure the fact that he was never an NU player or assistant coach"? You're reading a bit too much into my simple statement.

As Leach is currently right in the mix to play for the Pac12 championship... good call.
He throws away games. Falk was having a bad game against Arizona. Leech puts the second string QB in who kept throwing interception after interception. There was nothing wrong with Falk and he was fuming on the bench. Leech kept looking at the little sheet of paper he is always scribbling on. Leech was proving a point to Falk to the detriment of the team. My Coug friends were furious. Mike is too wacky, too offbeat to work in Lincoln. He would hate the scrutiny he would receive at Nebraska. No one cares about WSU football after the season ends. Pullman is in the middle of nowhere. 29000 people with 25000 connected to the college.

Should be mandatory listening for all men considering a proposal.
Dated a woman for many years, she had an $8,000 ring and $5,000 dress picked out even before I thought about proposing. She had every credit card maxed out. Breaking up with her was like winning the lottery. Another girlfriend wanted big ring, big church wedding, big honeymoon, but didn't want to talk about kids. Broke up with her on her birthday.
Finally met my wife. She said she didn't want a ceremony, just wanted to elope to the JP, or just have kids without even getting married. Met for lunch, got the marriage license, got married before a judge the next week, and everybody was thrilled. Weddings are ********. Half the time people are already getting divorced before they even get the wedding bills paid off. Best weddings I have attended have been small and personal.

Well you just said again he’s better in a small pond. Unless he has failed in a big pond, why would you say that? Devaney had a huge personality and he did ok in Big Lake Lincoln.
Don't know yet. Only coached for 2 years.
But I haven't seen anything from Leach that says he is worthy of the job. Average at best.
I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you over this... The fact that he won in Lubbock Tx & Pullman Wa says more than enough to me about his coaching abilities.

do you know there are only 4 current head coaches that have won national titles as a head coach? If you are talking about west division titles I think Leach can do that. He may not be a forever coach but I think he'd get us in the right direction.
