We knew he would give the SEC fits just did not expect it to be so soon. Aggy's are shaking in their booties on the message board about the next 3 games no longer just the next two.

The sad part of Mike Leach being in the SEC is that 90% of his funny shit will fly right over their heads.  I saw that in his interview after beating LSU.  He is casting his pearls before swine.

Am I the only one here who thinks Mike Leach is a bit of a piece of shit? For every incredible, off-the-wall quote he drops in an interview, there's a few of him deflecting blame for his shortcomings and throwing his own players under buses. We love him so much when he's CFB's weird uncle talking about pirates, sasquatch, and aliens, so he gets off easy for being a terrible human being the other 90% of the time.

[msucolt45 4,227]

Coach Leach does “more with less” than just about any coach in the last two decades. Sure, he’s had some down years sprinkled in, but who hasn’t.

The SEC isn’t schemed to stop his offense, which that conference hasn’t really seen something like that since Spurrier was at Florida.

Not the only one, but as Bum said, it don't take long to call the roll in your group.

 

 

Besides, you likely aren't taking into account that besides being a football coach, he's a lawyer.

 

 

 

 

 

You also aren't taking into account that he's not only a football coach and a lawyer, he's also a Mormon.

I think none of us care if he's a piece of shit or not because he's not Texas' coach and probably never will be.  But he's entertaining and is good for an upset or two per year and will probably smack Aggy down so we like him.  

I also seem to think he sort of has an old school coaching mentality where players should shut up and play and stop whining.  Which is why he works well at middle of the road schools.  He probably would never  be able to or want to deal with recruiting the high star players with huge egos.  My opinion.

But he’s someone else’s POS, and good for some eyebrow raising quotes/shenanigans on the reg, so we’re entertained by him, especially when he punks aggy in the near future.  Also, we’re not getting punked by him so there’s that.

Also, he's a guy who's incapable of marching to anything except the beat of his own drum. He can't help but say exactly what's on his mind at any given moment in time--part of his charm, admittedly. Admins and boosters at Mississippi State and Washington State might put up with that to get 8-9 wins per season, but Alabama? USC? Texas? That shit wouldn't fly.

[jinx 2,636]

I think you are mistaking piece of shit for batshit crazy.  He may be both, but he is definitely the latter.

[tbone_ 14,443]

Lighten up Francis. Leach is awesome. And significantly more awesome now that the fucking sec and all of college football has to pay attention to him.

[DanTheHorn 5,079]

We have a coach that has no problem throwing his players under the bus. Maybe not the the level of "Fat Little Girlfriends" . Yet today in the presser Tom refused to talk about what coaches did wrong even though he was directly asked the question. He went on and on about players not picking up on what they have been taught due to lack of time. Leach entertains us especially when he beats down Aggy and that is why he is awesome. Talking about POS things to do, I would think the Annabelle doll incident would be worse then calling out players that did not do their job in his eyes.

He’s perfect at a mid tier SEC school. He’ll keep them all on their toes.

If we all have to stop and virtue signal who we think is a piece of shit, no one will get anything done!

He may be what you say, but on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the worst or shit) where do you rank him? And remember, you need to leave room for the Briles, Bundy, Hitler, CJK5H and Sanduskys of the world.

No one had more fun screwing with aggy on and off the field like the Pirate. He's going to have a fun with the Texas Bulldogs.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,983]

Wow. It’s pretty easy to tell he has some disdain towards anything Texas the way he was rattling off other chain burgers

 

 

I’m a leach backer through and through and I just had a McDonald’s burger a few min ago. At no point did the thought cross my mind that it’s on the same level as whataburger.

 

 

Then new spicy nuggets weren’t bad tho.

Interested to see if how he recruits at State. He should be able to recruit speed, has a stud qb committed, can he recruit the LOS?

[Jkwellborn 7,036]

He’s not running a 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense, so the OL won’t have to be world beaters. Not like Sergio Kindle is lining up on defense.

[tbone_ 14,443]

You don’t think there are dudes like Sergio Kindle currently in the SEC?

He's always done fairly well, if not over performed, developing OL talent. The defensive line talent he'll have access too from just the backwoods towns of Mississippi will out pace anything he could've ever hoped to have gotten at Tech or Washington St.

Mike Leach is awesome and the world is a better place with him in it. I don't see any difference in his character flaws and those that all major college football coaches have. Name 10 successful P5 coaches that meet your criteria of not being a piece of shit.

In n out at least is consistently good quality, and animal fries are the bomb.

Someone told me Culver’s is really good.

In Austin I prefer Shake Shack over I&O and Whataburger these days.

[Doc Reeves 6,434]

I could tell the change when whattaburger sold out and went national. Here in SA the quality is still fairly high but you have you “good” and “bad” places. I have driven way further And drunker than I should have at 2am to get to the store at 410/Broadway. They are usually on their shit.

He was there for one fucking season.   and you're admitting to a lot of influence.

 

Not gonna hash it out, as it has been for years; but I get a kick out of the "that wouldn't work at the blueblood schools."

yes it would.  They're just too fucking scared to do it/ live with the off script comments/ have their own horseshit called out.

 

[Pam Cummings 9,868]

Be interesting to see where it is in 4 years. So far, Leach has been a coach who comes in and turns things in a good direction, then shits his ass in big games. Does not prepare his teams well for the big games.

touchy.  I never said he wouldn't work at a blueblood.  I know he was there for one season but stoops saw the possibilities of the air raid first hand while we were stuck with East West man. There is a reason OU bitch slapped us from 2000-04.
