re: "Mike Leach's air raid will not work in the SEC", said the Talking Heads

There's no bigger fan of Mike Leach than me ... I'm a fan of the man, not the team he's coaching ... but chillax.

I think his offense will work fine in the SEC in that odds are he's going to have a consistently competitive team. If he wins 8, 9, 10 games a year regularly, he can probably retire from State.

There also are going to be times when it's simply not going to be his day and his offense ... just like any other offense in the conference when it ain't their day, from Alabama's down to Vanderbilt's ... is going to suck eggs.

I don't think it's fair to completely dismiss what happened Saturday as an aberration against a depleted team. I also don't think folks in Starkville should be measuring a slot for the national championship trophy just yet.

I am just glad the guy is in the conference, anywhere, because he is a national treasure. Do your homework, read his book, research the guy and you will find out that the flakiness is a facade for a tough, hard-nosed, take no prisoners football coach and a very wise and perceptive man.
