Good call. Not extending any coach to the maximum sends a terrible signal to recruits that we don't believe in him.

agreed ... It also might help keep the coach from shopping himself but is an almost absolute must for recruiting

Also increases how much you have to pay him if things don't work out.

Good post. Recruits needed to see this.

We shouldn't keep a coach where this is a legitimate worry. Either we believe in a coach and show that by giving him the maximum extension, or we don't and we make a change.

Why wouldn't we extend him? We showed pretty significant improvement from year 1 to year 2. Had some good wins over AU and AM. 2 bad calls away from being a 9 win team.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Extend him? Sure. Give him a raise? No.

$5.5 million

In the era of transfer portal and NIL this means nothing anymore. A coach can be fired in the middle of contracts and players leave when they want. Stupid move if you ask me.

Leach shopping? Does Key West have a football team? Ain't no one interested in him. Nothing to worry about.

Sure

If he has a good year this year he will get plenty of interest.

Leach is at end of career. He got no real looks at WSU. Everyone knows he is a gemic scheme and he doesn't fit the culture today (he don't bother me but he does some).

He can win 10 games this year and there will be little interest.

If you say so

Ding ding

[PGHBulldogBG]

This was warranted. He improved at a fairly decent rate last year. I still say we win 8 or 9 games this year with Egg Bowl win.

[R2Dawg]

If you say so

Yep thats my opinion, you can have yours.

Fact is who else wanted Leach when we hired him? Answer is nobody. He ain't done nothing at MSU to have people lined up. Hey I hope that changes but I think it will take more than one year to do that. If he has multiyears of success then I'm fine with people wanting him.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

If you say so

Leach really wants to be here and win here. He isn't just collecting a check. I believe he can have success here if we can get players

[Todd4State]

Leach is simply too eccentric for a lot of fan bases.

He's not going to be at every MSU thing and be ra ra MSU like Coach O and Lane Kiffin are.

Exactly

That's because he ain't a leg hound like those 2. He just sits and sips and minds his own business.

He'd rather sit down with you and talk about some obscure Supreme Court decision and how it effected avocado farming in the 1950s.

I still miss Jackie minus the last 3 years or so! Like Leach, don't miss Sly, Late season job hunting Dan, or SloJo at all. Glad Leach wants to be here. Hail State!

I concur. I think Leach has shown he wants to be here.

Very good summation!

Leach wants to be at Key West...period

He may WANT to be in Key West - So would I .... But I assure you he also wants to succeed here in his job. To think otherwise would be lying to one's self

[TrapGame]

Then he would be there. Y'all need to stop with this bull shit.
