Leach is a major headcase......doesn’t even have a drivers license and maybe he wasnt interested in that major dumpster fire,


There were a lot of reports that somebody from UT had Leach lined up but Fulmer nixed the deal.

Matthew Scoggins, General Counsel for the Tennessee: “Sorry I’ve been in meeting and still am. We are going to take a couple of days and regroup on our search. It has nothing to do with Coach Leach. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.” Matt O’Hagan, Leach’s agent: “Thanks Matt, the people we worked with the past two days who are associated with the Vols search were professional and thorough. We negotiated earnestly and in good faith and feel we had reached and agreed to a deal. We hope that UT sees the tremendous value in having Mike Leach as their football coach. He is disciplined and innovate, attributes which has led to great success on the field and in the classroom.”

The old AD had gone rogue (wasn't talking to anyone at UT and had been recalled) while he was trying to get Leach on board. He was then fired. That's pretty much all there was to it.
