We could of got Leach
- Thread starter cocean
- Start date
If so, then we dodged a bullet.
I would have had him on my list to interview, but I don't feel like we missed anything.
After last season, I'd say we took one right between the eyes.
He wouldn’t be my first choice but I believe he would definitely be an upgrade.
And what exactly is our current HC?
Dont you listen to Ray Tanner? USC is on a path of stability with Muschamp. Never doubt the leadership. Just keep sending those checks while every other team in the conference, not named Vanderbilt, tries everything they can to get better
Irrelevant. The conversation is about Leach. He is a bowl-caliber coach, not a championship coach. He is a coach that can sell some tickets to an entertaining brand of offensive football. I hope that never satisfies us.
I’d be much more satisfied over what we are forced to put up with now lol
You would be for awhile. So would I. But you'd soon get tired of losing most of our games to the same teams we've always lost to. You also have to play defense in the SEC.
Why in the world would any SEC want him or Lane Kiffen? They will both get their name in the media a little more but will be looking for new coaches again within 3-5 years.
Glad I was not the only one bothered by the mess of broken English in the thread title.
No you wouldn’t- you are never satisfied with any thing. All you do it bitch and cry with every post you make and you would do the same thing as soon as any new coaches loses a single game. Stop your lying.
We could still get him cheap in a couple years after they let him go. He's not going to accomplish much there. Probably a few low level bowls. well, maybe mid-tier because there's usually a West team in the National Championship. Winning the Egg Bowl won't satisfy the locals forever. It ain't like Ole Miss is clemson or something.

Southern Slang... We are fine with that in the low country.
Point taken. But, with the exception of a 3 year blip with SOS, that is our brand. Bowl caliber, minus the entertainment.
Depends on who that new coach was/is. If he was a proven winner I would give him more leeway, but if he’s a proven loser then he doesn’t get much leash from me. I’ll never be satisfied with 4-8 or losing to App State or being dominated by my rival. Never. I think if you’re in year 4 and make over 4 million dollars, the least you should expect is to get bowl eligible and beat a Sun Belt team at home. Sorry my expectations are so high.lol
arguably if he was willing to go to Starkville, then we could have gotten him. not sure though. MSU had a pretty decent year. we were trash, so may have been a tougher sell. though playing in the east is considerably easier than the west.
in any event, i'm not terribly upset about it. never understood why, of all the coaches in the country, a small subset of gamecock fans have chosen Mike Leach to obsess about. he's a pretty good coach. entertaining.

I'm as low country as it gets, and I'm not fine with it. Plus, it isn't slang. Its a misunderstanding of the contraction "could've" by someone who thinks they hear "could of."Southern Slang... We are fine with that in the low country.
I think Leach will be a serious upgrade for Miss State and will be just what they need during what will be a 8-or-so year tenure. However, he certainly wouldn't have been my first choice for our next head coach as I hope the next guy builds us into a serious SEC contender and a regular beater of Clemson. I dont think Leach is that guy.
Having said that, I feel like we may be the absolute last fanbase in the conference that should criticize another program over their choice in a head coach. The guy Miss State fired won 50% more games than ours did this year.

Point taken, but at least we tried - and did - develop a legitimate defense. We did win a divisional title on an off year for the division. If he does those two things, I'll hush.

yall seen dem thar fish were running yestr day morn
No one can know for sure what Leach could have accomplished at USC, but I think it would have been worthwhile to find out.
He doesn't have championships, but he certainly over-achieved at both Texas Tech and Washington State. More importantly, it would have made USC's program intentionally different which I think is key. Leach implements an offensive scheme that can deliver a winner even if a program doesn't have all the 4-5 star recruits. Plus, I think his personality would have been fully-embraced by the fan base and it would have drawn a lot of attention to USC.
