He was starting to get better recruits when he was fired from Tech. At least in my mind. I can’t remember that far back and didn’t keep up with it then.

that is really not true his recruiting really dropped off the next to last couple of years he was at Tech and then got back to his "average" the last year he was there

that is something Tech fans really like to forget about for what took place after mike was gone...the new coach was working with a lot of shitty recruiting magnified by injuries

this is how 12X4 has the Tech recruiting and the WSU recruiting for mikes years at those places....season, total rank, conference rank, number of 4****

2000 44 7 (did not have star rankings for Tech)

2001 51 6 (did not have star rankings for Tech)

2002 34 7 2

2003 71 12  2

2004 39 8 3

2005 38 6 1

2006 28 5 1

2007 42 8 0

2008 75 12 0

2009 39 7 4

 

2012 58 12 0

2013 50 10 1

2014 53 8 0

2015 42 8 1

2016 56 10 0

2017 44 9 1

2018 46 9 2

2019 66 12 0

so really at Tech his best years were the middle years and then it got pretty shitty for the final 2 of the last 3 and the last year was just OK compared to his best years...sure he had some 4 star recruits his last year, but overall the team ranking was in line with about the lower end of his other better years mid career at Tech

one can see a similar pattern at WSU also.....coming off his best season in 2018 he had his worst recruiting class of the entire time there so hardly a way to build momentum and sustain success long term

really his recruiting patters imitate his wins and losses to a degree......very average and up and down and along with that for some odd reason they often are a bit opposite of what happened on the field....better recruiting after worse seasons and worse recruiting after better seasons

most likely related to always job shopping and related to talking about pirates and catching fish and shooting bears after good seasons and then having to scramble to recruit again after shittier seasons and people wondering how did you lose to a D1-AA team again or to some other shit team you should have throttled to really close out the season on a high note

This is awesome.  Wife is a State grad, so I've loosely paid attention to them in the past, but now I think I'm more excited about this hire than I am our coordinators.

Yep super excited. Now if we can go get a transfer WR we will be in great shape. Having a QB like that come in can get Mike's offense going a lot faster. Hate he won't be here till the summer.. but it is what it is. 

Leech is already reaching deep into Texas, an area we haven't usually pulled many from. And gotta say, I don't know the details of Jason Washington with y'all but seems he is a heck of a recruiter. That was our last position to fill. 

 

 

On Washington, he had a killer 2018 recruiting class, but then missed on most of his top targets in 2019 and 2020 (even before the season went south). I have no clue as to whether he’s a good coach because of Orlando’s fuckery, but our CBS have not looked well-coached the last two years.

I've seen Leach called a lot of things, most of them at least arguably fair, but this one is confusing. In what ways is Leach a coward?

Insane? Probably.

Unorthodox? Unquestionably.

But coward? Wha....?

If y'all had any understanding of football and life its own self, you'd know what he meant. The fact that you don't understand what he meant is proof that you know anything about football or life. Ipso and defacto. Sin no moar.

... I found out his politics he's dead to me.

You bring the stench of CR, which is both deadly and deathly. Your genuflection to any politician is a sign of your ignoble and ignorable opinions being worthless in any forum. Fie, sir. Fie.

 

EDIT: Be fair, Ignoble Opinions adn Dead To Me are both worthy of consideration for the Surly Band Name Hall of Honor, to be located - soon - at an otherwise unused Hall of Champions in College Station.

Lolz.  Leach is a ‘coward’ because he refused to comply with the small minded ways of Tech bfd’s and actually wanted to get paid market value, not comply with a completely unfounded railroad job(adam james admission letter signature,) while also having the nerve to seek legal remedies so he could fulfill his contract( fuck sovereign immunity.)

You'd be better off reacting to post #358.

To be scrupulously fair, it needs to be considered that Mike is, like Mitt, both a Lawyer and a Mormon, albeit apparently a recovering one in either case... which leads ineluctably to the possibility that the issue was Societal or Religious at root rather than simply Political.

Man, I don't give a flying shit about Mike Leach's thoughts on politics...I only care that he drinks a lot, rambles semi-coherently at length about absurd esoteric bullshit, and - most importantly - resumes doing what he always did best, which is to make aggy life miserable in humiliating and hilarious ways.

Not angry. Just wish you and your CR bs would keep it in CR. Hate trump all you can and hard in CR. Mike leach too. We all are really concerned about your thoughts on Leach, and happy to know where you stand on him.

Have some respect for others who go to the football board to get away from politics. Stop.

Amen. My Capital 'L' Liberal bonafides are without question, so the odds of Mike Leach and I ever agreeing on anything politically are pretty close to zero.

I don't give a fuck. Mike Leach is awesome, and I celebrate his entire bug-fucking insane catalog.

Some of y’all get CR triggered awfully easy.  

Not to go all CR, but if anything, Leach (Wazzu)- Mississippi State & Tucker (Colorado)- Michigan State, shows pay disparity in PAC...

Long story short, Mike Leach will have better resources as a Bulldogs head coach than out west, in an ESPN backed league no less...
I still think Tennesee made a mistake in not hiring Leach in the 1st place a few years back, now an SEC foe will see a CowbellPirate...

The PAC 12 have an ESPN supported channel as well, they just got it at a time that football in the conference tends to suck.

ESPN has no network channel with PAC, you may be mistaken for ACCN or SECN..? Maybe ESPN+, but PACN is seperate of ESPN (as of now)...
Which also shows how Mike Leach gets in homes with an ESPN-backed SECN & instantly has more viewers than PACN currently can access...
