BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Where will Mike Leach end up? He is being courted by both Washington and Auburn. Tech is scrambling to try and keep him. Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 If he was smart, he'd go to washington. It's a hell of a lot easier to win in the PAC 10 then the BXII South or the SEC. Imagine what he could do with recruiting to his system up there?! Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I dont see how going to Washington would be a good move for Mike Leach. Tyrone Willingham drove that program into the dirt, they're about to go winless (which is embarrassing considering how bad the Pac 10 was this year), Washington would be a massive rebuilding project. Leach has already established Texas Tech as a solid program, even without Harrell & Crabtree they'll still be decent next year. Washington would be a step down IMO. Quote Link to comment
Husker Runner Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Leach has taken his name out of consideration for the Washington job. He apparently is talking with Auburn as I type this. It may just be a way to get Tech to unload a pirate's treasure on him. Quote Link to comment
Cali Sker (in Boston) Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I dont see how going to Washington would be a good move for Mike Leach.

Leach has already established Texas Tech as a solid program, even without Harrell & Crabtree they'll still be decent next year. Washington would be a step down IMO. Step down now. That program is a sleeping giant right now. Leach would be going to the Rose Bowl an awful lot - remember you don't have to play USC every year... Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm pretty sure thats incorrect. Pac 10 teams play 9 conference games each year, & theres 10 teams in the Pac 10, so every team in the Pac 10 plays USC once a year. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ha...yeah, I'm sure Leach going to Auburn would end well. Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Harrell spoke out saying that Leach will most likely not coach at TT next year. Would Auburn be a good fit? He might stir stuff up in the SEC. Still a kind of puzzling why he would leave. Who would Tech get? Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 TT may go after Gary Patterson if leach left Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Honestly, I think Leach should stay at Texas Tech, he will have more success there than at Auburn. I say this b/c even though Texas typically gets the first pick out of Texas in recruiting, Texas is a big state & Leach has done a good enough job recruiting to stay competitive there. Alabama does not have as much talent as Texas & IMO he will not win many recruiting battles against Nick Saban there. Not saying he wont have success at Auburn, just that he'd be more successful by staying at Tech. If anything, he should go to Syracuse...the Big East sucks Quote Link to comment
