Leach first 2 seasons everywhere he has gone weren’t good.

That's 2 places....no guarantee that stays constant.

And does not factor in that he doesn't evolve yet defenses have.

Add that Leach has had to start from scratch with a bunch of freshman last year after our star players like Kylin Hill opted out, we have a young team full of sophomores this year.

I’m not on the fire Leach wagon. It’s annoying that he appears to not care on the sideline but that’s his personality always has been. We are a few boneheaded mistakes from 4-0. These are fixable issues that come with a young team.

Positive things I see are that we don’t lay down. We have improved at blocking. We have cut down on the number of penalties but unfortunately we had one big penalty that cost us the LSU game.

I think there is good coaching being done. Leach has quirky game management that can be frustrating. But since this team is so young I’m willing to give him another year maybe 2 to see if he can turn them into something and develop players behind them. I don’t want to get into a habit of firing coaches every 2-3 years. Then you turn into Tennessee and nobody good will come coach for you
