Given Moo State's expectations...7-8 wins a year with the occasional 9-10 wins (coinciding with a big time conference upset or two / bowl win), the Leach hire is an A imho.

He will go 4-0 or 3-1 in non-conference play, and pull down between 2 and 6 conference wins. As for recruiting, he will have plenty of 3 stars at State to work with...just because they are in the SEC.

As for Joey F., Ole Miss is pretty much akin to Moo State, just ever so slightly better positioned due to it's proximity to Memphis. That being said, if the Memphis Tigers are rolling, then Ole Miss may actually lose a recruit or two to them...especially if the Rebs/Black Bears are down at the time. Still, success will be had, especially if he can drags his nuts on Saban's chin...even if it only once. That would open a lot of recruit's doors. The hire is an A in my book.

Mizzou...the grade is a B.
They may have hired a great coach. However, they may have hired a coach that was handed the keys to a stacked team. I like the hire, but, Missouri isn't a hot bed for recruiting, so he will have an opportunity to prove himself pretty quickly.

Arkansas...also a B. I like this hire too. The problem, imo, is that Arkansas has the same recruiting limitations that Mizzou does. Adding the Aggies to the conference has really hurt Arkansas on the recruiting trail. The upside is that the hawgs have access to a lot of cash. If used wisely, the recruiting gap can be overcome.

My overall take...

If these coaches can get on a three game winning streak in the Egg Bowl, and the Arky/Mizzou game, they will probably get new deals while the opposing coach's seat gets hot.

Much better than the OP.
Everyone grading Pittman without considering the CEO approach he is pulling. He is the OLine version of Coach O. He has Odom and Briles. That isnt a homerun hire, but it's an A. It's a HUGE upgrade over Chaggy. Good news, OP, is you bitch arse over confident cocksuckers are about to taste that Chaggy arse when he shats all in your program's face.
