Let's not forget Troy opened up. Odom or Briles could go head coach there.

Troy hire will be very interesting. It's a university that going forward will be in a much tougher Sun Belt, has access to good recruiting, and has shown in the past you can win there.
Briles would be a good fit there and I would be shocked if he didn't interview. I also think Lebby could interview there.
Good post Cadaver, the coaching carousel is going to be crazy.
I think Leach?s age as much as anything will see him retire at MSU.
He?s halfway through rebuilding a program and starting to reap the benefits of getting the personnel and installing his system. Recruiting is taking off, and if Kiffin leaves-plus all these other coaches I see MSU cleaning up the recruiting in state and elsewhere. We are getting strong looks from kids who lost their coach but are very highly rated.
It takes 2 years at least to get a program turned around and Leach is getting old. I think MSU is his destination job. The in state talent of Miss compared to west texas(barren wasteland that has no recruits for a 3 hour radius) and Pullman Wash(another barren wasteland) is night and day.
I think the only way Leach would leave is if he gets offered one of the Fla jobs. He's a few years away from spending his life in the Caribbean most of the time.
Not really worried about losing him. Fla wants a known recruiter- so that eliminates Leach
I could see leach going from WSU to Miami for sure, but not MSU to Miami at this stage. He’s got about everything he could want right where he is.
This is a destination job for leach IMO. I think he’s got a challenge to build something great and do it in the sec, where he’s always wanted to coach.
and he absolutely may. But if he got a Miami offer- I think he would 100% bolt. You can still have a top 5 program at Miami
I hope he doesn't jump ship either, but I thought Mullen had some allegiance to MSU because we gave him the opportunity, and he made something of the program, and he was grateful. I was wrong, so I'm not going to pretend that Leach will be any different if something he wants comes along.
I don’t think Miami will ever be a top ten program again. They have sunk down to the mid level private school they were back before jimmy and Howard built the program up. They are irrelevant.
