It isn't because of the fact that he is purging his players. It's shite like the bandwagon photo. He is too erratic. When you follow something like that up with two straight embarrassing losses and then have to purge your players two weeks later, you look like a fool.

It's because when he goes into interviews he pretends to be a pirate and says shite like, "Arrgg! Where's the booty?!" and while funny, it shows a lack of professionalism. A lack of professionalism that leads to shite like posting bandwagon photos and then purging your team two weeks later.

He has a propensity for letting his mouth get him in trouble and then the audacity to turn around and sue the university that employs him while he embarrasses that school on the daily.

Everyone has passed him up because he acts like a fricking idiot. A "learned" moron.

Couldn't have said it better. Leach is entertaining af. I love it when your school hires him but would hate tf out of it if we hired him.

Believe it or not, Tennessee actually avoided a disaster.

I thought we fricked up not interviewing him before we hired Gus in 2012 after seeing the LSU game. Now I'm glad we didn't.

Again someone uses this word without understanding what it means. I am laughing at this thread. Not melting.

He’s the type of guy you want to see coaching at another school because of the occasional laugh, but you want that shite show nowhere near yours

He's been a head coach for a long time and has zero titles to show for it. He's mediocre. Occasionally he has a team that wins a bunch of games, but even then he still never wins a title.

The bandwagon photo was idiotic, but is he really the first college football coach ever to "clean house" when people weren't getting with his program?

Because he has the right to do this the way he wants to do it. State granted him that when they signed him to coach/run their program. If he messes up, then by all means fire his arse, but again he ain't the first coach to run people off (if he even does it) when they wouldn't buy in.

Them beating LSU out of the gate was the worst thing that could've happened.

Leach’s Air RAID is like Windows XP....it was a good system but is obsolete and no longer compatible with current defenses.

And before you point out what they did to LSU....remember LSU is running old software with Pelini.

Oh, I totally agree. They're in it to win it. He has the reigns. He may still end up doing well. Who knows. All I'm saying is that this is why nobody has wanted to hire him this last decade or so even though he's applied for literally every opening in the league.

MSU had like one decent WR. It was going to be a process converting to his system

One decent wide receiver?! They threw for a single game passing record in week one!
He obviously has players.

I’m proud of my posting record that Mike Leach was going to be a disaster in the SEC.
