Miss St hires Mike Leach

[Sub Par SUPERSTAR]

Even if they don't win a ton, it'll be a show you have to tune in to.

SEC media days will be entertaining.

Leach on Texas A&M
"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."

Kiffin and Leach has made the bottom half of the west more interesting even if they don't contend.

He is so funny!

Hope he, Kiffin, and Pittman can give Saban and Gus fits on and off the field.

Would be fine if media days this year is just Coach O , Kiffin, and Leach just sharing a stage talking about stuff.

I'd watch that sitcom. If Spurrier would agree to guest star every now and then it would be gold.

Where can I subscribe to your newsletter???

I often send it out gratis on a 3x5 postcard. I'm nothing if not consistent.

I've wondered about that myself. Never cared enough about it to search for an answer... but it is a good question.

Career suicide, but I suppose this is the type of school he coaches. I actually thought Kentucky should have made a push for him, but I don't see his recruiting getting it done, especially against the coaches he is competing against.

Nice timing so he could quickly jump off the sinking ship in Washington.

Isn't that what pirates do? Pillage and plunder then bolt?

Wow Leach and Kiffin in the same state? Nice! Ed and Nick and Gus? Interesting!

Jimbo almost seems like an after thought

I for one can't wait until Leach is asked to comment on a Coach O statement. I have no idea what Leach will say, but it's gonna be hilarious.

The SEC just got even more interesting!

Hope he scores 100 points on Bama and LK.

ESPN:

"The SEC West isn't a coaching lineup, its a reality show."



LOL

It's really culturally embedded in the history of the school (Texas A&M University - Wikipedia, Texas A&M University - Wikipedia ), but he's right, it isn't an actual military school like the Naval Academy or something.

Let’s meet back here in two years for the next Mississippi State coaching search!

Will Uncle Eddie still send Felipe "Fumble Fingers" Franks to play for Crazy Mike...?

Earlier this season, Leach, as part of college football's 150th anniversary celebration, was asked what was the worst visitors locker room that he's ever been in. Without hesitation, he answered: "Mississippi State."

He described a locker room in which the walls, floor and ceiling were all concrete, and "there was no furniture, there was no benches, there was no lockers." In addition to 37 nails in the wall, Leach said there were two toilets, side by side and without seats, in the middle of the locker room. Between them: one roll of toilet paper.

"My heart swelled with pride," Leach said. "... The ultimate touch of brilliance."
