Mike Leach to Miss. St.

[LittleVol]

Liberal style? 1. He’s not a liberal 2. What’s that have to do with anything?
I think he’s a good hire. Won’t do what Mullen did but is an upgrade over Moorhead and will bring a lot of excitement

If he can tap back into the Dallas TX area for recruits and get some underrated guys out Miss and Louisiana then he'll be cooking!

The dude knows offense and only Bama or LSU will have athletes on defense to consistently defend against it...imo

 

[VFLCodyGBO]

High octane offenses are taking over the west. LSU, and Bama this year. Lane will come packing heat, and now the pirate. A shift is happening before our eyes in how high level SEC football is played.

Kiffin will out recruit Leach

By a bunch, he'll dominate the state of Mississippi for the top guys.

 

[golfballs]

He’s never been a great recruiter or had very good defenses. I think he is a entertaining coach and I like his offensive scheme. If nothing else his pressers should be very fun to watch.

If he went to a school that’s easy to recruit to I think he could be very successful. There’s pretty good talent in the state but he’ll be going up against Kiffin

 

[Boston Vol]

People have said this about Leach for years. It still hasn't happened.

He hired Alex Grinch at WASU and his defenses were good.

He hired Alex Grinch at WASU and his defenses were good.

And Grinch left for greener pastures. Just like Starkville, a quality DC won't stick around for long.

Grab the popcorn I’m ready for the press conference.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Between him, Kiffin, and you know who...we got potential for a real clown show in the SEC. Does the Commissioner not have the authority to vet any of these hires?

We had Dooley though...

Who’s “you know who”?

I'm drunk...

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I think that Leach is a genius and I am very interested in seeing how he pans out at an SEC school, but I'm certainly happy that we got Pruitt and can't help but think about Leach's former mentor Hal Mumme and how those Kentucky teams boasting a Heisman finalist (and Leach as an OC!) couldn't really get anything going in the Southeastern Conference.

I know that Leach has had greater success than Mumme as a head coach, of course, but Mumme also never got a chance to coach at a Big XII/Pac-12 school because he might be the only coach in football more outputting than Leach.

Looking forward to some MS themed Leach-isms

 

[GTBATV]

He and Joey Freshwater in the West. I love it.

 

[Atlanta917]

I'm ready for SEC media day. Leach has gone after A&M before.
"How come they get to pretend they are soldiers? The thing is, they aren't actually in the military. I ought to have Mike's Pirate School. The freshmen, all they get is the bandana. When you're a senior, you get the sword and skull and crossbones. For homework, we'll work pirate maneuvers and stuff like that."

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Bob Shoop is a good guy. I hope Leach gives him a chance to remain DC.

Butch & Stoops: Worst coach pairing ever!

If Stoops stays he will have to structure his defenses to be on the field a lot longer due to 1-2 minute Air Raid scoring drives.

 

[Flounder]

Kiffin will dominate the state of Mississippi vs Leach at Mississippi St. I predict MSU will not have a winning season with Leach at the helm.

Its really dumb to predict College Football, the most unpredictable sport on the planet.

 

[dovervolz]

He’s got better resources to work with now.

Plus he can always hire a top notch DC.

Wasn’t Shoop on the former staff? I wonder if he’ll be retained

 

[OrangeSoddyDaisy]

Who’s “you know who”?

Pruitt

 

[MurphyVol]

I'm not sure why people (Bielema, Morris now Kiffin & Pirate) think they can further their careers in the SEC West but more power to them

 

[Jaws]

I’m a fan of Leach.

If nothing else, the SEC just got more fun.

The Egg Bowl will be must-see TV.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Leach vs Kiffin in the Egg Bowl, that should be a treat

I believe you mean Joey Freshwater vs Blackbeard.

 

[Ratvol]

Leach vs Kiffin in the Egg Bowl, that should be a treat

I hope he wears Kiffin's butt our year after year... If he nails Bama too often he'll get put on probation... LOL

GO VOLS!!!!

Kiffin and Leach. The state of Mississippi just offically became entertainment capital of the world.

It's fun to do though! I don't think anybody predicted us to win the NC in 98, maybe we'll have that type season with Henry T leading the way like big Al did back then! One can dream anyway.
