Leach lying low in Key West

I thought this was a nice, current article on Mike Leach. It sounds like he's enjoying his time away from football and is in no real hurry to find his next head coaching gig, although he did say this:

Return to football?

Leach would love to get another college head-coaching job, but he says he hasn't been contacted by anyone yet, despite some speculation that he's a candidate for Minnesota's opening.

"I think it's better to wait and see what comes my way," Leach says. "You want a place that's not just signed up, but wants to win. Academics are important. I want one boss that's in charge and a place that values teamwork."

I would doubt that Tech would sign up to play us, or anyone who signed Leach.

Come on, now. UNT shouldn't even bother to contact Leach. I mean, we are soooo low on the college football food chain that he would NEVER even consider us. We should just be happy with the current interm coach who has 0 experience leading an FBS program and is 1-1 as the interm. That guy should be a shoe in for the job here, since all we really want is a nice guy that wins 4 to 5 games a year in the Sun Belt conference.

Really, we shouldn't set our sights too high. We don't want to accomplish too much, ya know?

If Leach is down at Key West and doing some games and ESPN, he may end up like Jimmy Johnson and stay in paradise and live the good life.

Perhaps, but Leach is only 49 and has zero NCAA National Championship rings, zero Super Bowl rings and something to prove. I don't think we've seen the last of Leach's coaching days.

The "I haven't been contacted yet" comment has lots of loopholes. Contacting his agent doesn't count as contacting him. Also, the agent can contact schools and that doesn't count as "being contacted." Just because there is no official notice of a "contact" doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

      Just wanted to stop in and say, the egg should be white with a green eagle. 😁

      I seem to recall…

      I respect y'all sentiments about the unfairness of the system, but clearly none of you are really aware of the money involved. SMU has some crazy billionaires. But those couple big spenders are necessary because they have few alumni. With proper organization and motivation, UNT COULD definitely be in the #25-#50 spend range no question. Totally doable. Not top 10.... but guess what: those teams already had a huge payroll. NIL just makes it above the table and more democratic. UNT's athletic department and university administration is not totally bought in. I wouldn't give them NIL money either. They aren't in it to win. But if they change their mind, you'll find more NIL available. The donors at SMU are spending because the school is now in it to win. If we had the university governance we did in 2005, they wouldn't be spending, I assure you.

      I am hearing through some sources that the team was not really together. I will leave it at that.
