corncraze Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Anyone have any idea? I thought he would go to Maryland, but that didn't happen. Haha maybe we could still get him as an OC! Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hate to be a.... but I dont think Leach would settle for anything less than a HC job. He had alot of success at a school that never had nay success, someone will come along and take a chance on him. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 UConn? How about Pitt? Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 UConn? How about Pitt? UCONN might, but Steve Pederson will interview him, drag on the process for another 41 days then hire some lame duck ex-NFL coach. Quote Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Leach will need a school that can allow his large gregarious personality to thrive and a campus without a dark shed. His style is more west coast than east. Quote Link to comment

He had alot of success at a school that never had nay success, someone will come along and take a chance on him. A couple months ago I would have agreed with you entirely...but Maryland just passed him over and specifically gave the reason that he's a controversial hire. 2 years ago he almost could have named his destination. You don't see Mangino, Leach, or Jim Leavitt being mentioned for any head coaching job. I'm starting to think all three will need to resurrect their careers as coordinators, or accept a non BCS HC job. IMO if any of them plan to coach at a big time program in the next few years, it won't be as an HC. If it's been decided that he won't be a big time BCS HC this year...what's smarter: 1) going the OC route for a couple of years at a place like Nebraska where he could win an NC and again be the hottest coach out there, or 2) go to a place like Maryland where you might make more $$, but you'll be status quo with 7-5,8-4 seasons and have to completely re-prove yourself as a head coach at a place where that's not easy to do. I'd take the OC position at Nebraska, with the intention of turning the offense around and landing the HC job at USC in 2 years when Kiffin fails to impress, or the job at Nebraska when Bo leaves for tOSU (had to throw that in there ) Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 If Brady Hoke gets the Mich job, then it wouldn't suprise me to see Leach go to San Diego St.... He could be a big fish in a small pond, which seems to be what he likes.. Quote Link to comment

We would have to bring in a brand new qb that can throw accurately 95%. We would need good receivers that could catch and take a hit. We would need a quicker o line. The woodshed got blown way out there and the only reason we heard about it was that the kid was an announcer for espn. Leach would probably take a downtrodden team and try to turn them into Boise St. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well I wonder how much the recent dirt drug up about his time at TT will affect any future ADs from taking a look at him. Quote Link to comment
