Remember back when Tennessee sucked at football?

Why hate on a dead guy that had our program back to relevancy? Regardless of someone's taste in offense we put points on the scoreboard and won games. We had a decent D too. If Leach is still our coach there's a good shot we'd be 4-0 right now looking to extend the bowl streak we flushed down the toilet with the worst hire in our schools history last year. Also according to the class rankings Leach recruited at the level we've recruited at the past 15 years which is between 20 and 30. There's no reason we should be in this position now where we're all saying this is the worst team for State to ever field. Keenum wrecked this program and hopefully Lebby can do something in 3 years but if not he and Selmon can both hit the road.

Edit: I'll also add that with Leach at the helm we'd be going into Austin this weekend with a feeling that anything can happen. Instead now we know we're going to get destroyed and Texas can name their score.

I read through the posts , and I don't see anyone hating on Leach.

You are correct, if we had Leach or the similar system, and a really good DC, we enter every game thinking anything can happen. MSU needs the offense that equalizes talent in this conference. We had it. It could be tweaked, yes, and better QBs coming in too.
Coach Lea at Vandy is doing a model plan, for what we had in place of a good defense, and an offense that is tougher to prepare for. We blew it up because winning the games like that was boring.
