I think he would be someone to consider. He's a good pedigree. I know there's worry about a guy with no HC experience, but someone took a chance on Coker, Carr, and Stoops.
In all seriousness, I keep reading posts on Big XII school message boards and you all say the same thing: get Mike Leach out of our conference. Funny, I talk up Leach nearly three weeks ago here and get ignored; Petrino gets a look from LSU and many are head over heels for the guy. Not saying Leach is the cat's meow or anything, but dude can coach.
The man can confuse a defense, but he doesn't think that he needs to put his own defense on the field. We thought he was going to BYU, he is Mormon and his mother is a leader of the Mormon church. His offense would go wild in the Mountain West. He would win any of the mid-major conferences on a yearly basis. If he could land at a big time school and pay a big time DC, they would kick some serious as*.
Reagan Eden Why would you want Leech to take another job and leave the Big 12.Does it have to do with the thought that he spanked your beloved Pokes.If you cant beat them get rid of them!:lol:
Absolutely, I'm not ashamed to admit it. We have only beat him once. Last season. Seriously though, Texas Tech is the only team since the inception of the BIG XII that has been bowl-eligible every season. He is a good offensive coach, I wouldn't mind him in Stillwater.
Les is one loyal SOB. The word going around here is that he was just being kind of aloof at the whole LSU thing so he could get his indoor practice facility. They practiced in the Texan's a couple years ago at the Houston Bowl and he fell in love with it. Apparantly, he was promised one, but we don't have it yet, so he was kind of using the whole other coaching job thing as a little leverage. Don't know if it's true or not, but it wouldn't suprise me. I know he feels like he has some unfinished business at O-State. We do have a tremendous recruiting class coming in and had some super redshirts riding pine this year. We were picked to win only 5 games this year, with the losses of Tatum Bell to the Broncos, Rashaun Woods to the 49er's, and Josh Fields to MLB. So in reality the Pokes overacheived this year.
