    I really doubt any of the 3 Flippers would have made it through one season of Leach

    This is the primary reason I'm glad we've got the guys we got. There is no point in us even signing players that need coddling or are looking for special treatment. They just absolutely won't last under Leach. Probably would have worked under Moorhead because he was an excellent coddler, but not Leach. SO, it really doesn't matter if we did better or worse on the talent scale with the flips and their replacements, what is the most important factor is that we likely got replacement guys MUCH more willing to fall in line with Leach's methods and become contributors. I have no doubt that Daniels and Buckhalter would have ended up in the portal even if we had signed them. We just don't need any more Fabian Lovetts or Jarrian Jones type players on our roster. THEY WON"T LAST. So their talent level doesn't really matter because we know they would not have stuck it out under Leach. One thing I've seen in Leach's coaching career is that he doesn't need the most talented guy to be successful, he really needs the most dedicated and the most coachable guy and he will do just fine. It was that way at TTU and WSU and it will be the same way here.
