The Thing I do Like About Mike Leach

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't think he'd be able to recruit well enough to win big in the SEC, but at least we'd know and get to find out.

We can debate if Mike Leach is the right guy or not, but the truth is that 1. nobody knows and 2. Chances are he'd still win the 4 non con games and probably 2 - 4 SEC games. The floor for him is really really high but comes with the chance that he's actually a better recruiter than some think and when given real athletes, he can put a competent defense on the field.

The main thing though is, at least MSU would get to find out how good this guy really is. We wouldn't have to watch Kentucky or someone like that hire him and beat us 63-28 someday.

So to me, while I personally don't believe he'd win big at MSU, I honestly don't see Leach as being a big risk. At worst, he likely wins 6 games a year and we get tons of good media publicity.

At best, he recruits in the 20s, grabs some polished HS WRs from Dallas and Houston, and we run an offense that most of the SEC isn't built to stop and we post a 9 or 10 win season.
