Why do I think Leach

[mount lefroy]

Is gonna be the next coach at ole miss BESIDES the meaning of his name?

Stranger things have happened. He pretty much wrote the book on their style of play. I don't think he would hobnob with the good ol' boys enough for their liking though. If they think getting Leach is some big coup, more power to them.

Doubt it. I don't think he'd play their game.

They'll grab Sumlin after the season, most likely.

 

[RutherfordBHayes]

No way. They're staring at 5 years of probation, devastating scholarship losses, multi-year bowl bans and recruiting limitations.
No one with options is coming to Oxford anytime soon. They need to ride it out with Luke. In 4/5 years, hire someone to rebuild it.
They've always had a massive lack of self-awareness though, so they may go after a name coach. That's how they ended up with Orgeron.

Leach isn't dumb. Ole Miss won't be able to recover from these sanctions for at least 8 years. Plus Leach would fit in in Oxford about as well as Steve would fit in at a restaurant other than Bulldog Burger Co.

I'll get that job before Sumlin. It would be hilarious for them to hire another west rival leftover after the Nutt fiasco, but it ain't happening. If I had to put money down right now, Luke gets a show cause, gets canned, and Longo is named HC.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

No idea. Leach would be the worst fit for that culture imaginable.

Remember he was fired from Texas Tech because he wasn't able to schmooze with rich boosters.

 

[Sienfield]

I'm thinking Gene Chizik. He's familiar with the process and he seems to be drooling over the rebs.

 

[patdog]

If Luke avoids a show cause & wins 5-6 games this fall, I think he's their full time coach. No coach with other options is going to want that job, & with their loss of revenues, they're going to have to make some budget cuts.

 

[MaroonNation]

No. He doesn't kiss players or boosters asses and he is doing just fine at Washington not on probabtion. Why in God's name would he leave the PAC12 for the nightmare of the SEC and the ******** of Oxford?

Fun fact about Leach.... his current school president is ex MSU engineering dept head Kirk Schulz. Kirk could certainly warn him of the situation.
