re: Why didn’t Tennessee hire mike leach ?

Human nature can be a bitch. Mike Leach is his own man, marches to the beat of his own drum and most control freaks (Fulmer would qualify) can't handle that. For instance Nick Saban couldn't coach in a dept with Fulmer as the AD. But Mal Moore was a grown arse man who didn't feel threatened by a grown arse coach and was man enough to hire him and support him and gain/earn Saban's respect.
