Craig James doesn't.

And I bet a lot of Tech fans hate him for it.

Leach is a foul mouthed drunk who happens to be a pretty decent football coach. His escapades around Lubbock are legendary. As far as LSU goes, yeah, MSU whipped them. Lsu only lost 14 players to the NFL draft, 10 of those in the top 100 drafted, and was left with 2 defensive starters. One of them was out sick. MSU''s victory wasn't so much Leach, but an awful lot depleted talent from their opponent.

I love the old pirate! His air raid will give the SEC hell! I don't know what Tech was thinking

This grad student that Leach picked up from Stanford, K.J. Costello, could be the most talented QB that Leach has ever coached, not to mention being a perfect match for his air raid offense. In addition to his arm, I like the kid for being a true student athlete who now wants to work towards a Law degree.

While it could be a "one and done" season before Leach moves on to bigger things, I'll enjoy the ride while it lasts.

I don't know what Tech was thinking

We were thinking that
1, he grievously mishandled a player, something coaches get run for on day 1 these days (WVU defensive coordinator, Maryland head coach, several others this year or last)
2, he told our Chancellor, basically his boss, in person, to go f*** himself
3, he refused to sign the apology letter to the player
4, and even after all that, would have kept his job had he not sued the school just to coach a bowl game.

Also, the man wanted out of Lubbock badly-he was whoring himself out every year to anybody that would interview him. Had he somehow stayed, it wouldn't have lasted more than a year or two more.

I don't hate Leach, I was here his whole time and it was great fun. After the first couple of years, you never went into a game without thinking you could win. To date, he is the best coach that TTU has had and I thank him for his years here.

Well said. They guy knows how to win football games, and he also knows how to royally screw some up. Defense is optional, and most of the guys posting here have absolutely no clue about this guy other than taking special note of a game or two a year, and a couple of signature wins. He's a royal PITA, and classless. Here's an example.

One year we were at a letterwinner's breakfast on Saturday morning of homecoming. There were about 200 of us there of all ages, some had come from quite a distance, many were large donors. Leach was the designated speaker that morning. We were getting near the end of our meal, and Leach wasn't even there yet. Finally, with everyone having waited about 30 minutes after eating, Leach shows up in a sweat suit that looked like he just got it out of the dryer, hair was a mess, he was obviously well-hungover. He gave some stupidasss talk for about 5 minutes, turned and left the room, and didn't take anyone's questions, didn't mingle, nada, nothing. We were turning our heads looking at each other wondering WTH was that? He's a classless POS.

"Also, the man wanted out of Lubbock badly-he was whoring himself out every year to anybody that would interview him. Had he somehow stayed, it wouldn't have lasted more than a year or two more."

My understanding this here was a huge, huge issue. TT was nothing, but a stepping stone for him. A great coach, but no thoughts of loyalty. Could've been a God in Lubbock, just did not want it.

He's yet to step up.

As far as Tech losing that game. That was won by Texas conditioning coach. Tech was gassed, couldn’t cover anyone.
