His best recruiting class in his career was ranked 46th.Quote:

Correct. He's never had the talent to play defense.Quote:

Lol. Another wild story.
Leach has had plenty of opportunities to coach in the SEC and always turned them down. He's an extremely intelligent man.
Leach isn't the answer.
He's coached in the SEC before. And was very successful. So much so that Stoops hired him when he got the HC at Oklahoma because he couldn't stop Leach while the DC at Florida.Quote:

You mean when he was at UK with Mumme? Yeah they had some success but he wasn't the HC and was only there for 2 years.There's a reason he hasn't taken a HC job in the SEC. Like I said he's very intelligent.Quote:

He recruited fine at Tech. I couldn't find data pre '02 but besides that he had one class below 46 at Tech. Now Wash St is another story but when has Wash St in the last few decades ever recruited well? I don't believe they've recruited highly since before Ryan Leaf. I'm impressed with what the guy has been able to accomplish at Wash St. He's a winner.
Leach would be awesome, but it ain't happening
He’s been in two defense optional leagues. Can’t have that mindset here. Nobody can convince me he’s willing to change. He’d have to prove that on his own. Like I said earlier, in all the years he’s been coaching he hasn’t done anything defensively. He could have lucked into a decent defense at some point you’d think.
He has never turned down a HC offer to the SEC. He wants in the SEC. An when I lived in TX, he would make comments about wanting it. He wants the southern players in his system.Quote:

Not to mention this will be a complete rebuild to go to an air raid offense. You think you were frustrated watching the moorhead offense for two years? Wait until you sit through three years of waiting for this to develop. SEC defensive lines and secondary are licking their chops about the idea of this.
He would be fun to hang out with and discuss crazy things. He is always funny as long as he isn't your coach. He is the guy that you go hang out and party with but you definitely want to part ways with at a certain point in the night.
