mike Leach reported to be the new head coach.

[tahlahog]

Espn coaches spot light on espnu, one of the commentators beleive the new coach will be Mike Leach of texas Tech,  how long do you think he will last?

[football17]

considering that's not true, not long..

Yeah, and Nutt will win the NC next year at Ole Miss.
ESPN doesn't know anything, except for maybe Schad.

[hawgwilde]

Hopefully not long.  I don't want a worn out Vince Gill look-alike.

[booogaga]

hopefully this isnt true. we will go from one dimensional offense to another.

[usnavyhogfan]

man I hope not

[HouTxRzbck]

Let's go back to Lane and TT, please.

[chortle]

while I would never want Dale back, this would be the one hire that would REALLY disappoint me.

[tahlahog]

who's all for flying a banner fire coach leach?

[Pissed Pig]

Well last night ESPN said he (Leach) might be on the list, but he(Leach) made it clear he had his eye on UCLA.  and that Kordell was told win this weekend or you're out.  FWIW.

[grayhawg]

If Leach comes I go.

[booogaga]

show the report. i dont believe it. and if it is true i will vomit everywhere. we will go from running all of the time to passing all of the time. and a one trick pony is proven not to win. puke puke puke puke.

[chris1973]

That would be a train wreck!!!

[MCheisman]

please no, please don't do this. There are a lot better options out there to do this.

[Pig Power]

No to Leach!!!

[pigface]

What is the "claim to fame" for Leach?   ,   beating Oklahoma with their starting quarterback on the bench.

[smallmouthhog]

anyone but Nutt   anyone but Nutt   now   not leach not leach   unreal

[The Hawg Marshal]

leach would not be a good hire. IMO. But I'll give whoever it is my full support. I owe the program that much after all we have been through.

[beansandtaters]

Did Kordell Stewart go back to college?

[Marshfieldhog]

Leach would be better than an assistant like Pelini or venables

[idochog]

Leach is way down on my list of who AI would want.  He is the HDN of the Big 12, just with a passing offense

[russell33]

leach isnt leaving lubbock unless its for UCLA

[Landonhog]

Poor choice of a thread subject line...  Some guy's opinion on ESPNU is not a "report"...  Reckless use of posting privileges.

[Wild Bill Hog]

That would be a train wreck!!!

What he said.

[tahlahog]

I was just watching the show, I am not computer savey enough to post it, but if anyone else is able to please do.

[Rooka]

That guy is got in the past someone call him and tell hiim we are on kiffin and TT.  Leach will go to UCLA, book it.

[hawghoopster]

anyone but Nutt   anyone but Nutt   now   not leach not leach   unreal

exactly what I was going to post.

I have said for weeks,  "be careful what you wish for"

[RazorbackNutt]

FIRE LEACH!

[WhenPigsFly]

who's all for flying a banner fire coach leach?

Please insert a sacrasm icon after that post..............please!

[bobbybouchet]

Hopefully not long.  I don't want a worn out Vince Gill look-alike.

You are correct...if you morphed Vince Gill and Phil Mickelson=Mike Leach

[Rooka]

Poor choice of a thread subject line...  Some guy's opinion on ESPNU is not a "report"...  Reckless use of posting privileges.

agreed, this is what so many people get worked up on, now all day we will probably here NO LEACH over and over again, because of a post like this, it was not reported, if it was reported you would see the guys on sportscenter breaking the news and on the bottom line, this is simply just someones OPINION.

[WhenPigsFly]

Surely we can all get behind WHOEVER the new coach is, even Mike Leach.

I think a lot of us still have a big confrontation attitude left over from the season and then especially that BS of a press conference.

I have said "anyone but Nutt", and I will stick to it.  IF Leach is the best we can do for now, then so be it.

[bobbybouchet]

That guy is got in the past someone call him and tell hiim we are on kiffin and TT.  Leach will go to UCLA, book it.

Oh if I had a nickel for every time someone said, "Book it".  

[gilndoc]

FIRE LEACH!

Ditto

[jry04]

hopefully this isnt true. we will go from one dimensional offense to another.

I don't want Leach, but his offense is amazing. Being a balanced offense doesn't mean running and throwing an equal amount. It means keeping the defense guessing. We are a balanced offense when we throw 15 or more times a game and run a lot of mis direction out of the WildHog. We keep the defense off balance and they never know if we are throwing, keeping with Darren, or reverse. Just because we don't run it 25 or 30 times and throw it 25 and 30 times doesn't mean we can't be balanced.

Leach runs a spread offense, but that doesn't mean it isn't balanced. There aren't a lot of teams that can stop his offense, but his defenses have sucked in the past.

[Big_D]

Hopefully not long.  I don't want a worn out Vince Gill look-alike.

Now that is just plain funny, but true

[RBLtoHOG]

while I would never want Dale back, this would be the one hire that would REALLY disappoint me.

Your sig is hilarious

[OKhogfan1959]

Not my first choice but I loved how he tore up OUs defense. He would have to have a great Defensive co ordinator though..

[Kenny Dowell Loggains]

If Leach comes here then we haven't upgraded... much.

[bobbybouchet]

I dare you to find a picture of Leach where he has a real smile on his face...this is as close as I could find.  The guy looks like he has a ton of personality...won't work here.

[HOGansHero]

If we had Leach would we yell..."Run the ball!" 

[Hugulus Hog]

Leach would be a solid hire.  We'd outscore everyone.

this has not been reported....why is this post not moved to the trash??

Just his opinion and we all know what they are like , we all have one

[darth sooie]

I like watching leach from a distance, think he is fine at texas tech or maybe a pac 10 school but he isn't a good fit for the sec, acc or big 10. I might be the only person but i think skip holtz would be fine if the big dogs of JJ or BD turn the job down, he would be my third choice.

[PigPusher]

So let us get this straight.  Mr. Long is out there secretly looking for candidates and he calls ESPN and gives them some info for where it is heading.  Is that about right?  Ah, wrong!

Besides, Mike Leach is way below what we should be looking for.  Why in the heck do we always go for marginal coaches?

[Pissed Pig]

Did Kordell Stewart go back to college?

ooops, got in a big hurry: Karl Dorrell

[jneal56]

Before it was "Fire Nutt at all costs" and it happened and now people are complaining about the costs. Also people said "anyone is better than Nutt" and Leach is rumored to be hired and everyone is complaining. I think that Nutt is a good coach, I was ready for a change, Leach is not the first one I would choose but I will give him a shot. Before yall want to start flying banners to fire the new coach, why don't yall give them a few years. It makes me laugh how so many people on here can never be happy no matter what.

[tahlahog]

This was the opinion of one of the commentators on espnu, this is not an official report by the u of a, much like most of the opinions posted on this sight.

I too will give him a shot, I'm just thinking he will be on a shorter leash than some of the other prospects.
