Also Jackie Sherrill eligible now.
Wasnt a big fan of Leach here, but this is so totally deserved. So happy for his family.
It's odd to me. I loved Leach, but I hated watching his offense. Then very quickly, as life always seems to do, I was reminded of how good he was when we went from winning 9 games in a season to 2!! 2!!!!!!Quote:

Would be awesome if Jackie and Leach both went in at the same time.
I just think he couldn't read a defense very well to be honest and so when he was unsure he would just check it down. You can still attack vertically even if your QB doesn't have the strongest arm because it's pretty rare that a QB is asked to throw the ball more than 40 yards on a specific play. I think he also was bad about thinking too much and therefore trying to do too much- see the 2022 Egg Bowl. I know Leach wanted him to push the ball downfield more.Quote:

[QUOTE=Turfdawg67;1655522]I believe she just recently put their house in Starkville on the market a few months ago. Not sure where she moved to or is planning to move to.Quote:

I think Rodgers was just mechanical and did not have the ability to make plays off script which lead to boring, but effective, football. Make no mistake though that is why Leach loved him. Rodgers ran exactly what was called.Quote:
