"The primary reason I hired Mike Leach, he was working as the offensive coordinator with Hal Mumme at Kentucky," Stoops told Cowherd. "I’m the defensive coordinator at Florida and the team that gave me the most problems and drove me crazy was Kentucky.

That's pretty much exactly why Jimbo hired Elko for DC. When Elko was at Wake Forest, their defense would give FSU fits.

Has Leach told y'all about the time he was lying out sunbathing naked in his backyard while doing a call-in phone interview with a sports station and the Fed-Ex man showed up with the package and he signed for it before it occurred to him he was naked?

Lmao, no but I saw where he scared off a recruit after showing him a trick using a telephone and scared the hell out of the recruit. He said something like:

“So he dropped the phone and ran out of the room. The rest of his visit he was on tippy toes like we had ghosts and would taste his food as if it might be poisoned or something. That’s the last time I ever saw him”

The man has conversations with people who dialed the wrong number. Sometimes for hours.

You don't? I thought we all did that?
