Washington State: Overall 55–47 Conference 36–36 in the weak PAC12.. Do not see him being successful in the SEC.

ETA One season Ranked.. Last season 6-7...

This may be the first time that three SEC West teams hired new head coaches and are fairly happy with all three hires.

He couldn’t turn down a million dollar per year raise. Good grief, State.

Happy for y'all. The West is going to be a beast if all of these coaches try to live up to their hype.

Law of Averages dictate that for every win there is a loss. For the West it's about to get real interesting over the course of the next three or four years.

SEC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Boring/NobodyWatching FudgePack12

Coaches leave top jobs in other conferences to take lower or middle-of-the-road programs in the SEC (Bert, Jimbo, Holtz, etc.) because it is the NFL minor league and always exciting.

I'll be honest, I was worried about where State was gonna go to get a new coach. I definitely did not see this being an option. Absolute home run hire by the AD. I had State left for dead and buried.

Now it's yet to be seen if he can actually turn it around on the field but from a fan exitmwnt and interest level, couldn't have done much better than this. Plus, he will give us the wonderful sound bytes that we've been jonesing for since Les got the boot. Great hire.

In the end, I think that Mississippi State trumped Ole Miss in their hire by coming up with the best coach of bunch.


Great Job State.... And Congrats on a great hire for your program.

Leach is a perfect fit for Mississippi. He'll be among like minded folks.

I can see Leach being successful in the long run. i think Kiffin has a more immediate impact at Ole Miss but Leach will have more success at State down the line.

Leach will make for entertaining football and great sound clips. They will win 6-8 games a year maybe a 9th if the stars align. Interesting hire, you pretty much know you won’t be great but you won’t be terrible either and it will be a fun brand of football to watch. Leach is kinda the ultimate low ceiling but high floor coach. They could have swung for the fences and hopefully got some great young Coach on the way up but this is definitely the safest pick. It kinda seems like the MSU administration publicly acknowledging their place as lower to middle tier at best in the SEC so they might as well make it a fun ride.

It's definitely a HR hire!
I think the best hire of the crazy season so far.


I'm happy for you guys.
