re: Someone tell me why we shouldn’t offer Mike Leach $4.5m/yr to coach the Rebals?

But Wazzou, Iowa, Iowa State, UCF, Utah, Boston College. West Virginia, etc., all beat teams with more talent. You can’t hold talent in a vacuum. It’s simply not the be all end all. Sure, good players help, but teams with high crootin’ rankings get whipped all the time.

We got whipped by less talented teams several times under Freeze:

2013 Egg Bowl
2014 Auburn
2014 Arkansas
2015 Florida
2015 Memphis
2015 Arkansas
2016 Vanderbilt
2016 Egg Bowl

Hell, Luke has done that too. 2017 Cal and 2017 Arkansas come to mind.
