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

he runs the ball. Sonny Dykes runs the ball. Kliff Kingsbury runs the ball.

They have all evolved from a Leach like air raid to one that features a lot more run.

Leach refuses. He wants his offense to remain pure to the Mumme philosophy. He openly disdains running the ball and he loses a lot of games he should win and never wins the big game.

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

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

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.

1/9/20 11:34am

That Tim Couch Kentucky team was something else.

wasn't Leach on the staff?

Yes. OC '97-'98.

why is he leaving WSU?

idacoug

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

Soupie

yes. It is way better than starkvegas.

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

LakeshowCougs

1/9/20 12:23pm

Have you been to Starkville?

1/9/20 3:34pm

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

1/9/20 11:39am

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

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.

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

1/9/20 12:03pm

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

Josef K

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

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.

1/9/20 3:43pm

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

Josef K

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.

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?

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

Soupie

Cal Poly to WSU? Seems like a stretch

1/9/20 1:59pm

Without ever actually coaching there. Maybe Heaps is crazy?
