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

But he sucks at recruiting

He’s had to recruit to Lubbock TX and Pullman WA. Not exactly the easiest pulls. I care more about his ability to make the players he has excel. Freeze was a master recruiter but his best team got destroyed by Memphis and he lost to Arkansas 75 years in a row. Simply having talent is meaningless if the coach is an idiot. There’s a happy medium somewhere where we might not get top 10 classes every year but damn we can easily pull in top 25 classes and with leach coaching them up and with a solid defensive coordinator (which he seems to have found) he would be a really solid SEC coach.
