Meh.
Bump was the hire to make. It was right there, but we went the easy route.

If he is lazy, how have we signed the class we have? We don't recruit Top 25 on reputation. So he and his staff must be doing something.
Doubt we would have beaten the number of ranked teams we did this year if he was lazy. Mullen couldn't lick his way into as many as Leach did.
That narrative of Leach laziness I think is idiotic and not able to be supported.
Name for me one non lazy staff in the entire country that has a lazy head football coach.
Staffs are driven by the head coach. They don't just randomly do things by themselves. It's coordinated under the vision of the head coach. If the staff isn't lazy, the head coach isn't lazy.
I'm pretty sure Kiffin spends more time in South Florida than Leach does, which is something I wouldn't have said a year ago. I mean, they are both there a lot, but I think Kiffin leaves his car running at the airport in Miami when he flies back to oxford.
Not saying it has been perfect by any means. But no successes? A&M, AU, and LSU away are big wins in the SEC. NC State and UK were good wins. I am not about moral victories but the UGA game was one of the gutsiest performances I have ever seen by any sports team.
The Memphis game and both Ole Misss games were big letdowns obviously. Although we pulled it out the La. Tech performance was a head scratcher. The bowl performance this year was downright terrible.
I think it would be fair to say Leach has been inconsistent, including flat performances. But to say there have been no success at State is just off the mark.
The big question is can he win 7 next year?
Any more names in the portal?
The Pegues kid at AU just hit portal, he was starting to show some promise on the DL.
Any other OL we should be watching?
Any news on the kicker from Coastal Carolina?
What? Walker Hill is a place, not a person. At least as far as I am referencing it. Any reference at all to what you are talking about is unknown and unintentional.
(Edit - never mind you are talking about the person I responded to. Did not even notice their name. Mod feel free to delete this)
Are you serious? He's had two of the biggest comeback wins in school history and we were able to beat a couple of top 25 teams last year not even counting Texas A&M. With a team of mostly sophomores and juniors and almost no seniors. And we have a QB being mentioned as a potential Heisman contender while our recruiting is close to top 20. We set the SEC passing record in his first game too.
Leach hasn't done anything special at all. But things are moving in a positive direction. Let's see how next season goes before we declare success/failure. Look at OM last year to this year. No reason we can't do something like that next season.
Pretty much agree , I’d throw the COVID year of 2020 out. It was like an extended version of spring ball.
Biggest factor right now IMO is the o line. That’s probably what success or failure next year hinges on. As immobile as will is, you really can’t allow any pass rush.
Any concern that the WVU transfer and UGA WR aren't officially on campus yet? David Murray says on 105.9 that they are still waiting to officially hear.
