Period. Regardless of wins and losses(wins will come. He will win as much as Mullen did). But regardless of that. Just to have a character of his kind as our head football coach. I love it.

I like leach. I just prefer a different style of football. But if he can win here I’ll be happy with it.
I really believe he will win here. just needs his type qb and wide receivers.
I think IF we can hit on some JUCO offensive linemen and keep Walley for his senior year 2023 could be VERY good for us.
If he stayed another year we'd have gone 10-2 at best and shat the bed in the bowl game ala 2014. Mullen was not a big game coach, he was not good at getting the teams' head right if they had a modicum of success, he was not going to adapt the O and power spread run attack doesn't work vs elite front 7s. Remember, we only took Bama to the wire in '17 because they started 3rd stringers due to injuries. We never, not once, have been able to run it on them.
And for all his "winning", he had a .600 win % here. he averaged less than 7 wins a year, and never had an upset of a team that was still ranked high at the end f the year (ie he only "upset" overrated teams)
I just can't take the guy seriously. I didn't before he got here btw.
Hope he kicks ass and proves he is a great football coach.
You listen to Out of Bounds.
We played the same style of football as 99% of the country prior to Leach.
No he didn’t. He had a tougher road to win the west but he had the easiest path to bowl games in the history of MSU athletics. When Jackie coached, USM and that conference was closer to us budget wise and we actually lost recruits to them. Our facilities were dog shit at that time. Mullen didn’t have to deal with that. He also had about 40 more bowl games available to keep the bowl streak alive. Jackie had a team in 97 that competed for the SEC West for half the season, won 7 games in an 11 game schedule, and did not make a bowl game. That would never happen today or when Mullen was here. He rode 4 cupcake nonconference games and a shitty OM/Kentucky team to a 6-6 (or 5-7 in 1 year) bowl game 3 times 9 years. None of those would have been bowl teams in Jackie’s time and obviously his 5-7 09 team would not have been a bowl team either. He would have basically made a bowl game every other year if he coached in Jackie’s era even with all of the advantages he had to get there.
Will wait to anoint him when he?s actually achieved something.
I hope we are more entertaining this year than last year bc that's all we can hope for.
