Leach has never coached in the SEC and there is a reason why. He cant recruit. Systems with no talent dont work in this league.

Now to the questions some of you clowns asked.

Who has recruited better to Washington St? Leach has averaged a recruiting class somewhere around 47. Classes of 45, 44, 56, 42, 53, 50, and 58. Bill Doba had classes of 51, 22, 43, and 45. Much better recruiting than Leach ranking wise.

Who wins like Leach at Washington St? Leach is at .546, Doba .508, Price .518, and Ereckson .543. Leach is essentially doing what has been the norm at that school.

Wait they are 9-1 currently... they lost to 5-5 USC. The best win is against a 7-3 Utah team.

Facts. Not opinions.

Leach has finished 1st in his division once. 2008... yeah the year he lost to a Houston Nutt lead Ole Miss.

The guy would suck in this league worst than Luke because he couldn't recruit in this league. The same reason I didnt want Luke. Recruiting wins this league not gimmick schemes.

He had one year better than Leach. That's it.

Go back and look at what he inherited. And he still has the highest win percentage in school history

So they are winning against teams they are supposed to and let one average team sneak up on them. It happens. We did that same thing to Bama in 2014

That Houston Nutt team had 2 first round draft picks and 4 future pro-bowlers on it. And that Tech team wasn't thrilled about playing an 8-4 team when they felt they got cheated out of the BCS.

There's no evidence to say he wouldn't recruit well with the same support from boosters that Freeze got.

Saying that he is on the same level as Matt Luke is just hilariously inaccurate

Leach coached at Kentucky in 97-98, and they set several conference records for passing proficiency, but k.

You’re whining about leach finishing first in his division just once . . . when it’s something we have never done.

They are 9-1 and control their own destiny to win their conference. We are 5-5 and dawgs to Vandy. Sure, they might lose to their rival Washington next week, but 10-2 beats mediocrity all day.
