My Leach Firing Theory

As Auburn's HFC, Tommy Tuberville lured Troy's spread offense guru, Tony Franklin,

away from Troy, as OC, and to install Franklin's spread ofense.

Franklin tired to install his spread offense at Auburn, but was fired by Tuberville weeks later, after several

losses. Tuberville took over the OC position for the remaining season, saying he would run the spread

offense himself, because Franklin did not know what he was doing.

Franklin went on the MTSU, and developed a very good MTSU offensive team.

Tuberville is known for his outbursts against his team and coaches, and putting the blame for the losses

on his staff. Tuberville had a merry go round of assistants in and out trying to save his Auburn gig, and

with big money Auburn alumni becoming very displeased with the way Tuberville was running the show,

Tuberville was fired.

IMHO, I think Tech could do much better than Tuberville.

Heck, Tech should at least take a look at Tony Franklin with their search for a new HFC.

IMHO, I think Tech could do much better than Tuberville.

In 14 seasons at Ole Miss and Auburn, Tuberville compiled a record of 110-60. He led nine of those 14 squads to bowl games.

Whether at Ole Miss or Auburn, no squad of Tuberville ever gave up more than 281 points in a season - even in the three losing seasons he had over a 14 years stretch, those most points allowed in a losing season by a Tuberville-coached squad was 270.

In 170 games as a head coach, no school ever scored 50 or more on a Tommy Tuberville coached team.

Tuberville's 2004 squad went 13-0 and might have had a better shot at beating USC than OU did. We'll never know.

The bar is set very high at Auburn. Tuberville reached it most of the time. He'd more than reach it at Texas Tech. He's an excellent football coach.

The Dan Patrick Show Twitter feed broke news two hours ago that Leach will soon be an Oakland Raider. If true, crazy on about 8 levels.

I always thought he'd be a better fit for Tampa Bay...

If there is one place that Mike Leach SHOULD be the head coach it would be for the Oakland Raiders...yes, indeed, a marriage made in heaven. But, if he thinks working for the Tech Admin is tough, just wait until he gets a feel for Al Davis leadership style. Maybe good ole Al has mellowed a bit in his old age, but this seems perfect for Leach if true! Cannot wait to see how this would work out...the press conferences will, indeed, be so very much fun to watch.

Man, I so hope this comes to pass...Leach in Oakland...be still my heart! Too funny to imagine...only in the world of Al Davis (or maybe Jerry Jones) could this even be mentioned.... :lol::lol::nuke::thumbsup:

--Craig James is such honorable person.... He has managed to contribute to the destruction of two college football programs...

James and his son were just an excuse for Tech to fire Leach. They would have found another excuse otherwise.

Yeah. The many December 2008/January 2009 e-mails between Hance, Myers, the school attorney and that float scenarios of how to get rid of Leach. That's why Leach will get his money out of the Tech idiots.

The smartest thing George W. Bush ever did was to not use e-mail. You'd think Hance, an attorney, and the school's attorney would have been smart enough to think through what they were writing back and forth. But....

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
