He couldn't win a division so much as a conference championship in the Big 12 or the Pac. Bowl eligibility will be an achievement for him at Mississippi St.

I can't recall any Wazzu coaches moving to the SEC before this

Mike Price's time at Alabama was short-lived.

Interesting move... not sure how good of a fit it is

The Leach vs. Kiffen Egg Bowls will be fun.

The air raid is coming to the SEC. Love it.

Returning. That offense really got its start at Kentucky.

Jesse Pinkman

That Tim Couch Kentucky team was something else.

wasn't Leach on the staff?

Yes. OC '97-'98.

Blue Cat

why is he leaving WSU?

idacoug

1/9/20 11:32am

$$$$ for himself and program. Also, ever been to Pullman?

Soupie

1/9/20 11:34am

yes. It is way better than starkvegas.

idacoug

1/9/20 11:34am

Disagree- and he can afford a few more homes in Hawaii now if he doesn’t like It

SouthernBlueBlood

Starkvegas is a pit. At least Pullman is close to amazing country

idacoug

Dude from the south likes Starkville . . . And the guy from Idaho likes pullman

I live in Texas grew up in Seattle/ eastern Washington sucks

i disagree, but no big deal. Pullman and Moscow are next to great outdoor

Let them keep thinking the way they do. It keeps them out.

It's not far but Pullman is no CDA and it's still a drive.

Soupie

Texas is South enough. I don't care for Eastern Washington either

LakeshowCougs

Have you been to Starkville?

Lip Gallagher

Mike Leach is known for liking the small town.

$$$$ and the PAC 12 sucks

1/9/20 11:35am

1 or 2-loss SEC teams are far more likely to make the CFP than a 1-loss PAC team. Because the PAC sucks.

As LSU showed, again, this year, the bulk of the SEC still hasn't figured out

Y05

1/9/20 4:20pm

But Leach hasn't figured out how to be elite.

Blue Cat

1/9/20 5:05pm

Perhaps, but bowl eligibility shouldn't be a challenge. Keep in mind

Y05

1/9/20 5:09pm

I think it will be a challenge for him.

Blue Cat

1/9/20 5:19pm

I think there is a clear ceiling for talent at WSU. Likely wants to see what he can do with SEC kids.

I think he creates his own ceiling with his own crappy offense and lack of

The evidence contradicts your statement. He's had more success at Wazzu and

Rise Against

He will boost results, but his outright refusal to run the ball will keep MSU

Josef K

1/9/20 12:48pm

Everyone says that about innovators. When Urban went to the SEC, every single analyst said that you can't run

macaroni

1/9/20 12:57pm

Except Leach is the one not evolving. Lincoln Riley came from Texas Tech and

they also have more talent to work with. that's the point here.

True

Josef K

The evidence doesn't support your theory.

macaroni

1/9/20 12:44pm

Yep. Seriously. All evidence goes against this.

Lip Gallagher

1/9/20 3:43pm

He ran the ball less than any other team in college football by a large margin

Josef K

1/9/20 4:33pm

It's not stuborness, it's a philosophy for him. He views a short pass as

It's a stubborn insistance to follow the philosophy that every other Mumme

Why does have to be like Mumme or his disciples? Is it possible that he's found

in 2018 their defense ranked #42, 2017 #59, 2016 #50.

Rise Against

Yes! Our scheduled game against them will hopefully be easier!

So now it’s going to take 7-8 million from BYU to lure him away?

That won't last long. Nobody wins enough at Miss St. to stick around very long.

Unless there is a scandal Mississippi will keep him forever...

Jake Heaps suggesting Beau Baldwin from EWU would be a good replacement.

Soupie

Cal Poly to WSU? Seems like a stretch

YIsForBrigham

1/9/20 1:59pm

Without ever actually coaching there. Maybe Heaps is crazy?
