Leach to Mississippi St according to Sports Center

Interesting.

[Ghost of the HEB]

Yep

Washington State’s Mike Leach, one of nation’s most innovative offensive minds, will be Mississippi State’s coach, sources told @Stadium. Leach coached 18 years at Texas Tech & WSU. The Cougs’ have had nation’s top passing offense 3 of past 5 years & never ranked out of Top 10

He beat out Steve Sarkisian for the job.  And Lane Kiffin is HC at Mississippi.  Fun times in the “Hospitality State”.

[gUrthBrooks]

I’m wondering if Leach was straight up the better choice football wise or if Sarkisian was too much risk than what the AD wanted considering the past.

So I guess he isn’t going to Baylor, then.  That was the other rumor I had heard. Also WSU had extended his contract a month ago to 2024. Must be getting a nice buyout from the monied in the SEC.

I soured on him this season.

Bill Walton is a dream gift for all of us. “Go on, you Conference of Champions!”

[PlainsUte]

Hadn’t heard that Bronco Mendenhall had bowed out of the race.

[sweetgrass]

even though our defense finally figured out how to stop that offense this season, I’m glad he’s gone.  That offense was a b*tch!

[Central Coast Ute]

Wonder who will be his replacement.

Graham Harrell (USC OC) and Alex Grinch (Okla DC) coached under Leach at WSU.  Craig Bohl from Wyoming.  (Dennis Erickson left Wyoming for Pullman in 87).  Jay Norvell from Nevada.  Or Jay Hill. (Mike Price went from Weber State to WSU in 89)
