Your take is overrated. Washington State was a dump of a program before he got there. You can say the same for Texas Tech and he has had them both in the top 10 at one time. You can't view all coaches through the same lens. You have to factor in the school.

Leach isn't overrated in this SEC. Leach is a better coach than Orgeron, Kirby, Pruitt, Muschamp, etc.



Leach was up 49-17 on UCLA more than half way through the 3rd quarter and lost because he refused to run the ball and bleed the clock.

Literally none of those coaches you mentioned are that fricking stupid. And the notion that he's a better coach than Orgeron may very well win the award for the dumbest post of the day.

UGA’s overall winning % is .655

Leach’s overall winning % is .607

If Leach is overrated then UGA is not much better. Yes 5% better but not an overwhelming difference.

So can we conclude that UGA is overrated too based on your opinion?

Well when you look at the teams each is playing, the 5% difference is larger than the statistic shows.

On the flip side, Leach had them bowl eligible for the last 5 consecutive seasons.

Number of coaches that did that at WSU since the end of WW2:

0

He had Texas Tech bowl eligible for all 10 of his seasons.

Number of coaches other than him that did that at Texas Tech since the end of WW2:

0

If you expect a title he is not your guy. If you expect a consistently respectable product that pulls a really good year every so often there aren’t many that have his track record.

Not reading.

Why are you so butt hurt that you write a short story about a coach at Moo U?

Dude...dude!

If Kirby coached as well as Mike he would have won multiple national titles Lready

I mean Georgia finished the season in the SEC being raped by LSU. While having.

A veteran, proven QB
Five offensive lineman that will be drafted, likely early rounds.
The top defense in the conference statistically
The most talented RB in the nation
Multiple five star receivers and a veteran transfer


Yet no title. That's just...sad.

That’s like saying Bugs Bunny is not an Oscar caliber actor.

Who cares. He was brought in to entertain me.

Have a down vote. Mike Leach is a saint and a National Treasure. He should lock your dumbass in a closet.

He stick you in a shed or something with Adam James?

You've got more disposable time on your hands than I do to come up with an epistle like that about somebody you don't play until 2022.

Mike Leach was running a spread offense years before everyone else. He was winning consistently at TT with 2&3 star players and developing qbs year after year. A lot of the people on talking bs; were saying the same thing about Coach O. I curious to see watch he can do in MSU with good recruiting. The man can coach
