Let?s just hope he?s not highly sought after by the right school.

It would have been crazy to think he wouldn't have any interest when he was at WSU. He certainly could have interest now. But it's not crazy to think that at 60, he wants to go through a rebuild and deal with people calling for his head while he installs his offense. And FLorida fans would be just as unhappy with Leach's recruiting as they were with Dan's. Leach wanted to prove that his offense would work in the SEC. He can do that at MSU. Also, if he runs the air raid at MSU, which has had basically zero passing success in its history and is a have not as far as recruiting goes, that will be more validation for his system and his legacy than running off a string of NY6 bowls at Florida.

South Carolina and us wanted Napier, right?

Don't like the "little" or the spelling in thread title. Or is this Spurrier Jr's accepted nickname?

Rumor was we wanted Napier but he wanted South Carolina IIRC

I think there is a real question of whether he is turning down all these jobs or whether he is rubbing people the wrong way. I suspect he has been approaching these jobs like Mullen approached Miami, and pissing people off before he actually gets an offer, but that if he had acted like he wanted the job rather than acting like they needed to blow him away to make him interested, he would have gotten an offer or two.

Leach will retire from Miss State. He might be in line for the job when he does.
