He'll be back.

I read an article on msn.com yesterday about some baggage that Prime has with some charter type HS he helped set up in TX that went under. One of you guys might can link this or explain with more detail.
The biggest issue with that academy was the lack of educational accreditation and the actual teaching to the students. Multiple players graduated from the academy but couldn't qualify for colleges as the HS courses were not accredited.
Prime would be a disaster here most likely. Sure, it would be splashy, and it may even help with recruiting, but the guy would have to build a world class staff here and he wouldn't be able to do that. Do you want him to bring his JSU staff here? JSU wins games on talent and they're not very well coached.
I heard a stat this morning. No coach in the history of Egg Bowl Rivalry has a coached been retained after losing 3 straight Egg Bowls.
If Leach loses this one I'm off of the Wagon.
My top choices for replacement is
1. Freeze (pipe dream)
2. Deion
then a long look at the following
Kane Wommack -USA
Phil Longo
Clarke Lea
There is no situation where Freeze is the coach of Mississippi State University, it will never happen.
If and when Leach retires I believe MSU will maintain tradition and come up with somebody you never expected. Hasn't it been working that way? Any way, I would go for the Kansas St. head coach. His track record is very good. Which means, they would never ever have him. LOL.
