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

from taking the next step. Almost every other coach in the Hal Mumme line has evolved to include the running game. Leach refuses and because of that he will lose games he should win.

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

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.

That Tim Couch Kentucky team was something else.

wasn't Leach on the staff?

Yes. OC '97-'98.

why is he leaving WSU?

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

Soupie

yes. It is way better than starkvegas.

idacoug

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

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

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

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.

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

Have you been to Starkville?

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.

DKN

We're talking about Mike Leach. CFP odds are irrelevant.

Blue Cat

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

Y05

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

Blue Cat

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.

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

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

True

Josef K

The evidence doesn't support your theory.

Yep. Seriously. All evidence goes against this.

Lip Gallagher

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

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

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

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

Cal Poly to WSU? Seems like a stretch

YIsForBrigham

Without ever actually coaching there. Maybe Heaps is crazy?
