I understand your point, I just don’t think it’s true. Oh, and if you don’t win with schemes and you win with talent instead, why exactly is auburn struggling? They’re loaded.

Leach has won everywhere with “inferior” talent. Oxford would be no different.

Although they lost to Southern Cal, Wazzou also beat several other teams with more highly rated prospects: Oregon, Stanford, etc.

Let me begin by saying I'm not opposed to a Mike Leach hire, nor am I thrilled by it.

Everyone keeps stressing how good Leach was at Texas Tech. Ole Miss actually has direct experience with coaches from Tech. Remember Steve Sloan? Took Vandy to bowl games 2 out of 3 years, and then won at Texas Tech (just like Leach). Everyone back then made many of the same arguments for Sloan that are now being proffered for Leach. Do we really want a rehash of the 5 soul-destroying years of the Steve Sloan regime?

For what its worth, there are multiple coaches here in the Southeast who would be viable coaches for Ole Miss. Unfortunately, it seems the new "excuse" for Luke is the limited number of scholarship players. He'll end up with a decent recruiting ranking this year based almost strictly on the numbers, not the quality. Thus, no one in the administration will have the balls to do what is needed. Luke will not be replaced this year, and I seriously doubt both or even any of the coordinators.

I didnt say x and o dont matter at all. They obviously do. Auburn sucks because people are caught up to the scheme. They still beat teams like OM with less talent!
