Agreed. Let Barnes call it from here on out, and since Barnes is the Co-DC anyways no one would bat an eye. And we probably need to find a bona fide DC this off season. I would imagine Aranda will be available. Brent Pry could be available. Jeremiah Johnson at La Tech could be a good option. You also could try to pull a Bama and pull a sitting G5 HC. Maybe try to find someone that way. I don't think going the way of a first time playcaller needs to be the path forward though
If Aranda gets fired from Baylor. I am going to Waco to pick him up myself and head to Starkville.
Leach was a good coach with a quirky offense that gave less talented players a better chance of beating more talented teams.
Leach air raid is an absolutely boring brand of football that took a lot of enjoyment out of watch
It sucks that he died because he was one of a kind and it left our program in bad shape.
All three can be true.
Lebby's offense is on the Air Raid/Run n Shoot tree.

Greg Gasperato and Shiel Wood should get a look too. Ron Roberts will be available also.
All I was saying is it took Leech some time too. We can't keep firing coaches. Let it play out a little longer. Saban couldn't fix this mess year one.
Anyone wanting Lebby fired this year is dumb.
He looks like a deer in the headlights and his D looks worse than the the worst big 12 team. But let?s give the guy a full shot. We just canned the last post coach in year one.
If Lebby is too dumb to pay some top defensive players then he wil be out. And if he doesn?t force the DC to coach better or fire him, he will be out.
iI agree...and I am the 1st one to fire a coach but he has to have 3 years unless we go 1-11 next or 0-12 next year we need to win 5 games minimum next season to see he is making progress.
It is on a tree that grew from a seed that the original tree dropped in 1997.
I was a Mumme air raid QB in college I know the difference.
Correct. The Briles offense, which is basically what we're running with a bit of Lane and Heupel's offense mixed in, was molded before Art coached with Mike. Art already had his offense when he became the RB coach in Lubbock. However, he took some of Leach's concepts and molded them into what he was already doing.
