Why in the hell do y’all act like Leak will be a success in the SEC? His offense worked at Texas Tech & Wazzu because they both play in a finesse conference.

That air raid shite won’t work in the SEC, and you’ll never win a national title with it.

Like Pruitt's approach will ever work at a place like UTee again.

Leach would beat UK/Mizzou/SC/Vandy most seasons, and win enough OOC games to have them bowl eligible every year. That's realistically all they can hope for from now on.

Leach used it at Kentucky as OC with Hal Mumme. Bob Stoops, while DC at Florida, had trouble with it. It is the primary reason he hired Leach as his first OC at Oklahoma in 1999.

That is where the offense really took off. Oklahoma won the national title in 2000, and everyone started employing aspects of that offense in the Big 12 and beyond. Suffice to say, it could work in the SEC if you place emphasis on the power running part of it and still have great athletes on defense. It just seems so many Big 12 programs only play lip service to having a physical running game and defense.

FFS would it beat GSU? One step at a time.

I see this take all the time but it already has. The Cats put up 31.6 ppg in 1997 and 35.9 ppg in 1998.

Ha had moderate success at Kentucky running that offense. He might not be a NC coach but if you’re looking for a coach to take you from sucking to being somewhat relevant then I’m not sure there is a better realistic option.
