I believe he turned down Tennessee 2 yrs ago.
Tennessee AD was gonna hire him but then Fulmer got AD ousted and got himself installed as AD. Then he hired Pruitt.Quote:

Really dude? Leach is a funny guy. I'm sure these kids are tickled to be coached by him.Quote:

Relax
Shirly Arkansas didn't hire Sam Pittman over Leach.
If they did, they are complete & utter dumbasses
I think he just meant it wasn't a great job by the guy doing the video editing. Clearly wasn't an actual reaction to what was being said at that moment in the video.Quote:

That is what I remember as well. He is a smart guy. He had knowledge of MSU from UK days, JWS and Polk. He knew what MSU is and what UT is. Smart man.Quote:

Rumors around here at the time were that we reached out to him but he wanted too much money.
Plus I’m not sure his personality would get along with our BOT for political reasons. And there were questions about him being able to assemble an SEC quality staff which he could still do who knows but with Pittman’s 30+ years of experience at several different SEC stops we knew that he could.
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.Quote:

I'll have to go back and watch it again.Quote:

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

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