Mississippi St is a hat rack program aside from a year or two here and there. They’ve been exposed numerous times even when they were good. Seems like Georgia Tech beat them when Dak was Qb. Leach will draw better skill position players imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key will be the OL... is he can build his best OL he has ever had watch out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see if he could incorporate a more mobile qb in his air raid. That could be pretty deadly im also anxious to see who he picks as DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that Starkle the qb from smu( went to Texas) , Jurkovec from the Irish . I expect a lot of quarterbacks will be excited to play for him in the up and coming years with that offense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this... Miss. State won't be winning the division anytime soon, but every once in a while they'll throw a scare into one of the big boys, and occasionally steal an upset from one of 'em. It's gonna be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 When he was hired at Tech, did people think he could win there? The reason I ask is because I was too young to recall. I didn't think he could make WSU somewhat relevant in the pac12, but he somehow managed to get them in to bowl game every year except 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I ask is because I was too young to recall. I didn't think he could make WSU somewhat relevant in the pac12, but he somehow managed to get them in to bowl game every year except 2014 I seem to recall his reputation being more of an offensive savant than the eccentric character he is now. Outside of the coaching fraternity, Big XII followers (or just people who watched CFB closely), Mike Leach was only known for brief OC jobs at Kentucky and OU. But I don't recall anyone saying, "Oh man, Texas Tech is definitely gonna be good now!" However, there was certainly a sense of curiosity... more like, "Hmm, I wonder how he'll do as the head coach, instead of just the O.C." I will say that his early run at Tech threatened to upset the apple cart. If the Tech leadership hadn't run him off, I could see them being a Big XII powerhouse right now.

I've been seeing fans from other SEC West schools saying even with Leach, Miss State wont be much of a threat. I'm not sure I can agree with that. I believe he's capable of doing good things there. All it takes is him finding his QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It served notice that he was a guy who could come into a place and turn things around in a hurry, which is exactly what Tech needed after running Spike Dykes off (yeah yeah, I know that he retired). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuddyGarrity Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 "An elephant is afraid of a mouse ... I'll give the bulldog the benefit of the doubt."

DaveTV1 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I can't believe no one has posted about this. I think it's stupid. We've all made jokes about being locked up with our spouses, and while I'm no longer married due to things I'd rather not talk about I don't see the harm in this. I realize a noose has connotations with some, but this is going beyond being "woke". I think Coach Leach was trying to bring some laughter to the situation, and laughter is always a good thing in my opinion. I would rather laugh than cry, and I realize this is dark humor, but c'mon this is ridiculous. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/04/07/mississippi-state-player-decides-to-transfer-after-mike-leachs-controversial-tweet/23972380/ .
