Your part of the group that believes JG can’t throw a competent pass.
So tell me how does Mike get to 6? You can’t coach what JG lacks
Like that would matter. I can see it now....
"We're 1-7 no SEC wins and looks like we're gonna lose to SC, Mizz, Kentucky and Vandy, but Omg I love Mike's press conferences, can't wait to see what he says after next weeks beat down. Love this guy, we're lucky to have him. Thanks Phil"
Y'all are so full of crap. Lol.
Here is the SEC steel cage battle royale:
Contestants: Bulldogs (2), Tigers (3), Gator, Elephant, Wildcat, Col. Reb, Chicken, Davy+Smokey, Hog, Reveille, Whatever Vandy enters in the battle royale
Immediately, the Tigers catch both the Bulldogs and eat them. Reveille is setting up a bonfire. Next the Tigers catch the chicken and the hog and roast them on the bonfire. The Tigers then eat Reveille, Vandy's mascot, and Col Reb. Col Reb then changes to a bear and Davy Crockett shoots and kills him a bear. Now, we are down to the 3 Tigers, Elephant, Gator, Wildcat, and Davy+Smokey.
The 3 Tigers plus the Wildcat all decide to gang up on the elephant; however, their plans go awry when one of the Tigers decides to go to a safe house and the Wildcat decides not to attack since its not basketball season. The 2 remaining Tigers and the elephant have a brutal battle with poisonings, referees not enforcing the rules, etc and all 3 animals eventually kill each other. Paul Finebaum is in tears when he announces the death of the elephant. On the way to the safe house, the Gator sneaks up and eats a Tiger. The Wildcat catches something from Ashley Judd and dies and we are down to the Gator and Davy+Smokey. The Gator thinks he won but Davy hits a kill shot and Smokey and Davy have roasted Gator that night....
" Y'all" are the ones that keep saying stupid crap like "He may have the same record as Pruitt but at least his press conferences would be entertaining". That would last about 2 losses, then it would be just like it is now except instead of Leach it would be Kiffin, or someone else. Always wanting someone else. Always. And never getting them, but constantly wanting them.I don't know who ya'll is and I don't know who you are referring to with your quotation marks unless you have a frog in your pocket but, it sure is not me.
And, you will never, ever hear me say "Thanks Phil".
I would bet the house that one of the following would have happened under Leach: (1) JG would have developed into a competent QB; or (2) there would be a different, competent QB playing.
You can rightly take Leach to task for underwhelming defenses. But, you can’t criticize his ability to routinely take under-recruited QBs and make them good. He!!, Minshew couldn’t even win the starting job at East Carolina.

Haha, I couldn't care any less about how you Phil about feel. Pretty petty of you to harbor such animosity.
The NFL is continuing to trend more and more towards the AirRaid style with Mahomes, Goff and now Kyler Murray (all AR QBs out of the Mumme/Leach tree) lighting it up, not to mention his QB from last season at Wazzu is off to a strong start and the talk of the NFL right now (Minshew).
Guy can coach. What has Tech done since they let him go? Wazzu had won 5 games in 3 seasons before he came. It took him a season to get things rolling but he won the Apple Cup in his second year I believe.
I believe that our higher-profile recruiting footprint, coupled with the fact that QBs and WRs would want to come play under his system because numbers and stats and the fact that the NFL is looking that way going forward. Give him a good DC and the ability to recruit good players on that side of the ball and I think he'd win here, hands down.
If Mike Leach wins the PAC 12 and makes it into the playoffs, then I will concede he could have won here. All you have to do is look at his record at whatever school he has been at to see it takes him at least four (4) years to show any sort of positive results with a program. If you think he could come in here and teach the players that were here 2 years ago his extraordinarily complicated offense, come up with a legit DC and done any better than Pruitt, you are extremely delusional. He is a brilliant offensive mind, but not a miracle worker.
Urban Meyer says hello
Unfortunately for the ones who clamor for him (I wonder how many are displaced Grudenites) His MO is high scoring games that he doesn't always outscore his opponent.Here's a question I've always had about Leach. If he is this incredible coach, why hasn't he gotten a chance at a huge program? I get post-2009 he has baggage that might scare programs away, but what about before that?
I like Leach, he seems like an entertaining and genuine guy, but a huge reason of why he's so lauded is because he's had some good seasons at schools that don't expect or demand it. At Texas Tech and Washington St, a pretty good football program (one that wins 7-9 games a year) is seen as something that's nice to have, not as some demand or expectation. Never been under a microscope. He's existed solely in those environments as a head coach.
If he showed up here and the Air Raid struggled initially, or if he scored a mountain of points but his defenses gave up a mountain of points (as has been the case throughout his career), his act would wear thin so quickly it'd make your head spin.
People forget that he turned Tim Couch from a nothing option QB into the #1 pick in the draft. Two of his QBs started games in the NFL last week.Ridiculous...He was the offensive cord at Kentucky under Hal Mumme and his offenses lead the league for 2 years...He would kill it here....Pruitt hasn't proven anything as a head coach and most likely he will be gone after this season.
