I'll also add this hire and Moorehead are EXACTLY the types of hires the SEC needed to make (and Fisher too, but that's kind of different).

Too many hires of guys who can't coach but are "recruiters" or whatever. Leach and Moorehead are football coaches who everyone agrees can coach. Mullen fits the mold too. Overall the league will get a boost from this coaching cycle if this all pans out and Arkansas can hire someone non-moronic.

Already looking forward to SEC Media days next year.



I think it's safe to say we'll be favorites for the offseason championship if Leach lands on Rocky Top.

I wonder how your fans would react if you'd been dragged through the epic load of bull shite that Tn fans have been through.


We had a coach last less than 6 months because he paid for strippers with a University credit card and had to hire a replacement a month before fall practice.

We feel your pain.

I am interested to see how he matches up with Bama every year and UGA and UF when they’re good. The thing I remember most about Leach though is when he saw a mark he would take it down. He would flat out embarrass bad teams and coaches because he sticks with what works playcalling wise and doesn’t give a shite what people think

He’s also built a huge network now of young coordinators and assistants who worked for and played for him at Tech

This is a great fricking hire! And Leach brings the kind of attitude that UT needs desperately right now.

don't take this as gospel but I'm hearing that it's all good on Leach's side of things. Just has to be ok'd by the UT power brokers. TBH, this has me a little concerned because Leach is the kind of guy to tell the Haslem camp to go frick themselves and I'm sure they know it. Leach is a different animal and I'm sure this is no secret to the UT brass.

Craziest fanbase meets Craziest coach. Hunter S. Thompson would've been drooling over this potential matchup.

We were meant to be and it's gonna rip my heart out if it falls through.

Halfway through his first press conference VOL Nation will forget about this cluster Fuch of a search. And the embarrassment of coach Lyle.

If he comes on board this will prove to be the hire of the year.

Damn, I'm excited,
And I don't even like the VOLS.
