knapplc Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Leach is never one to shy away from bold statements. When asked if he's coached in stadiums louder than the famously loud Autzen (home of the Ducks), he listed a few. 7 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It is going to be a sad sad day when he retires and isn't in front of a microphone anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Why isn't anyone throwing Leach's name in for HC at Nebraska! Keep Diaco and add Leach. Press conferences would be golden! 3 Quote Link to comment
Roll Skers Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 That is awesome haha Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I agree with Leach, I have been in Autzen 2x and didn't find it to be that loud or intimidating. Being one of the loudest stadiums in the PAC 12 isn't really saying too much. Quote Link to comment

Press conferences would be golden! Leach brings a lot of baggage. His shtick plays well at the more backwater programs. Wazzu is very happy to go 8-4 every year. Nebraska fans would not be satisfied with that. I have spoke with a few people that have come in contact with him in their work and pretty much the only thing any had nice to say about him was that he was a decent FB coach. Otherwise most were not real impressed. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Leach cracks me up! I would love to see him make the playoff this season. You want to talk about homerun hires...he was exactly that for WSU. Not even so much about winning it all or winning the division and stuff like that but just about making WSU relevant. I would love to see a study that shows the amount of student applications when the football/basketball team is doing well or is popular. I remember reading something about Gonzaga and how the amount of apps they get each year has been crazy since the rise of their basketball team. 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Mike Leach is great. I am terrible at uploading videos on here, but there is an awesome one from earlier this year where he talks about a couple QB's at Tech who couldn't throw a shovel pass. Watching him demonstrate it is so funny. Quote Link to comment

However, not sure if 2 of them could top a Bo press conf. Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Love the disrespect to the PAC-12 stadiums and (more to the point) fans. Arkansas's stadium that he opines about is interestingly similar to Autzen in shape IMO. A round, shallow bowl with solid, rigid structure for resonating. Arkansas just has louder fans. Or Mike is just trolling his conference. Either way, its fawesome. Quote Link to comment

University of Arkansas is in Fayatteville. Quote Link to comment

With a mediocre game planning and in game coach. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerPowerVA Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I remember when Maryland passed on Leach (because of his baggage) and hired Edsall in 2011. Big mistake. Leach is one of my favorite coaches in the country regardless where he is employed. Quote Link to comment
