Watch him parlay getting fired by Texas Tech into an NFL HC gig in like 3 years.
If he can draft instead of recruit, he has a chance at greatness. I really believe that

What has he done to make you think he would bring greatness as a head coach?

Watch him parlay getting fired by Texas Tech into a SC interim coach next year.

Pls don’t take this the wrong way,

but do you think there’s a chance tech would sacrifice integrity for wins? And hire an unhirable man because no one else will?

No

We may be getting Leach back. Two of his former players have gotten wealthy in the oil business. Cody Campbell and John Sellers. 

So evidently they have put together a package for $100 million for Tech facilities and it includes making Leach whole from 09, the Wazzou buyout, etc. 

This was a rumor yesterday. 

Then this plane tracking bullshit got going today that has sucked 9 hours of my life. Double Eagles plane is about to land in Lubbock from Pullman. 

 

Fuckin A if this is real. 

I'm pretty sure that if Leach was thinking about going back to Lubbock - after everything that went down with his departure and aftermath - that he'd make them come to him.

Lol...tracking planes.  Sign of a true degenerate.  And I’ve been there.  Is Leach’s wife house shopping yet?  

Just fucking around...pirates don’t get married.  

The Pirate had a pretty humble house in a nice but not the best hood in Lubbock.  Uncle was a few houses down.  /CSB

From what I've read of him, he likes his house about three miles from his office, so he can walk there and back every day,  and stay in shape, and think. 

Flight inbound from Pullman just went to delayed. Seems hoaxish. 

We will probably end up hiring the coaching equivalent of Beth Mullins or actually hire Beth Mullins. Is that her name? The annoying lady football play by play thing? 

Yeah, this is why we cant have anything nice.

There is also mucho recruiting going on right now with Wazzu's final regular season game having been played and Texas high schools in 3rd round of POs. It's like lions waiting at the watering hole, with regard to more talent being on the field at once.  That flight aware tracking is a fool's errand for this particular scenario.

Rumor on local sports radio is that KK has been spotted on SC campus.  Of course people will spew whatever unsubstantiated nonsense imaginable.

False alarm- it was Gosling. Important question is whether or not Dr Sheila Gamble was there

The only reason Leach should go back to Tech is to take a giant shit on them. Having lost his lawsuit against them, I would be shocked that he would have no hard feelings. Tech has plenty of resources to go get a coach with Texas High School connections. I would go get TCU offensive coordinator or former CU coach Mcintyre, or even consider writing Harsen a check.

If he did return, and I'm not saying my feelings aren't similar to yours that you should never let someone hurt you twice; but he WOULD have big money booster support that is backing him in a huge way this time.  

 

So if TCEH rehires the pirate,  does this mean the return of the concussion shed? Asking for a friend.

The Leach to Tech rumors are trolling on a different level if its not true.  I still say no way it happens and this is nothing more than crazy rumors. There is an actual pulse on the old RP football board.  A near death pulse that is filled with idiots, but a pulse no less.

The ex player oil money rumor first surfaced last year when Kliff was on the hot seat.

FIFY. Never go full aggy

If USC hires Kingsbury, it instantly gives the school a larger pipeline to recruit the world's best athletes in the Lone Star State...

This. This. This.

Leach has a unique ego. So I can see him wanting to return and take on more power. I can see him figuratively lining whats left of the traitorous cabal for execution. 

When he first arrived at Tech his boss Myers was hamstringing his recruiting budget for fucking postage. As he built up the program with bowl wins. The push-pull between the two would grow. You do that shit for 9 years and then lose your job over some bullshit that is made into a national circus...then end up in Pullman. 

That sticks in your craw. So much so every time someone mentions Tech he is happy to remind them of their old sins against him. 

So the whole ex players gets rich and wants to throw the money to right the wrong scenario is right up Leach alley. 

I can see this happening. 

Fuck RP.

He's not thinking about going back to Lubbock; he's just leveraging tt against Wazoo for an extension/more money.

Are you suggesting Campbell may be pretty damned deliberate( convincing) when he swings his sword, now?

I'm conflicted.  I agree with the line of thought in your post, but I could also see Leach as the type to say "Never again, mofos."  He's in a relatively good spot where he is appreciated now.

What would Geronimo do?

I don't know, but I do know that whatever he did, he'd yell "MEEEEEEE!!!!" first.

Leach would not see it as leaving Pullman. He would see it as an oppurtunity to vindicate. 

He knows he is never getting his day in court. He is never going to get to depose the principals. He was certain of being right back then, and I just think he’d relish the adulation of him back on the throne in Lubbock. I believe he would see it as greater than winning in court. 

Lets face it. This is the show we all want to see.

I cant spell

Has anyone touched on the pure entertainment of a yearly Mike Leach-Les Miles matchup? 

I want Leach rehired at tech just for the introductory press conference.  I bet he has some things he'd love to say in that setting. 

All he’d really need to say is,” There were some who said I didn’t want to be here bad enough, so they forced me out. Now they’re gone and here I am.  Let’s talk about Alan Bowman and getting our o-line where it needs to be”

And by that he means, how to hold again.

at this point I am not sure WSU has much more money to give their athletics department is bleeding money and already owes the "academic side" a pretty substantial amount of money and any further money from that over and above "the usual" has been cut off

and they have some projects they still need to fund and have had a hard time getting funded

I doubt mike would come back to Tech and hopefully Tech is not that stupid either and hopefully people are just doing this to fuck with his recruiting and to put doubts in his recruits minds as payback for all his stupid shit in Lubbock lately

EDIT: Wrong Tech, shit

He was talking about Georgia Tech, I moved it (it's Spencer Hall, who's a national writer).

That is surprisingly forward-looking for Tech if true. Good coach at USU and his time at New Mexico should have gotten him used to West Texas recruiting.
