I can't see Leach and Jerry Jones getting along. I'm not 100% sure how much influence Jones has now though since Morris was a complete disaster.

Ha! Leach and hypocrisy mix about as well as oil and water, and Ole Miss is pure hypocrisy.

The only dig that he MIGHT have took at OM was in his answer of why State. He seemed to say because it was a good fit for his mentality, and it wasn't folks "walking around in leisure suits" and trying to be something other than what they were, or something to that effect. I'll have to go back and watch it again.

I know he said folks in leisure suits.

You should have heard the story on that from the coach, not very many kind words for Phil.

Linen Siuts when they are relaxing or there about.

One of Leach's attractions to State was that our boosters don't expect a phone call from the coach before every game. I still dont know how Saban does it..... He has boosters call him all the time.

They have one family that could buy our entire monied booster base over x 3.

That 60+ we will put up on Arkansas this year will be fun. Pittman is 7 out of 7 in the SEC West. Arkansas is going to become the Vandy of the West in football.

This! They've wanted leach so bad for so long and now we have him and they can't stand it! Leach is not an elitist snob and he would've fit there like oil and water. We are his type people. For as educated as leach is he's an Everyman. He's one of us really.

But But NotAFan said that he wanted the Arkansas job a few weeks ago and wanted the Ole Miss job when Freeze was fired.

Some of you think the discipline has gotten so out of control that we've got to put the team in time out & tell them to sit down & STFU.

Relax

It has gotten out of control. Like I said, if this board knew what they had been getting away with there would be no Moorhead supporters
