Vito has a story on his blog today that Leach might end up at FAU. I personally think this would be great for us because it would make the Sunbelt stronger. If WKU stays on the path their recruiting suggests, FIU and Troy stay strong, FAU becomes a contender and UNT does what we all expect, that's a pretty strong league. I'm looking forward to seeing it all play out.

Sorry about the typos in the description, I'm working from my phone.

This Leach stuff will just not go away....As far as I am concerned...anybody except UNT...and Oklahoma State. Don't want to be associated with that guy in any fashion. Just sayin.....

If this happens (big if), we would absolutely lose recruits to FAU from this state. Don't be naive.

Yep that is what I said. I am not talking about the coaching fraternity. Hell you talk to coaches and they'll convince you what a great coach Todd Dodge is. I wasn't talking about coaching people

Like I stated in the original post, I don't think it will happen. It's certainly a possibility being that he lives there and it could be his way back in. IF it did happen I think it would, as Colorado said, bring attention to the league and raise the perception.

I hope it happens.

And personally I don't think it's an impossibility. He got no offers this past offseason. He's no longer doing TV work. If FAU offers him $500,000 per....I'm not so sure he turns them down.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them offer more than what UNT offered McCarney. He would be a huge get for FAU. As for Leach, I have said that this is the type of job that I suspect he will get as his next coaching job. No big-time AQ team is going to hire him because of that ego. Leach lost out to Randy Edsall for the Maryland job, even though Leach had more success as a head coach in a much tougher league. He has non-AQ (or an AQ in REALLY bad shape, like Washington State) written all over him for his next job.

Jim Leavitt may have some say in this eventually, too, but I am sure that his lawsuit against another public institution in Florida may preclude him from getting that job.

How is this goid fir us?

It helps positively impact the perception of the SBC as a quality league. It would be great for the league schools--as has been the McCarney hire.

Consider the source. A two star WR verbals to FAU and makes a statement that he "thinks" Mike Leach is going to FAU and that is why he committed. Really?? It wasn't because you were a mediocre ranked player and that you had no other FBS offers? Is it that easy to start rumors around Leach? I am sorry.... I just cannot see him checking his ego within the next year and commit to coaching a Sunbelt Team (his perception...not mine).

I think we're severely overrating the McCarney hire. Sure he's a respected coach but unless you're in Iowa or have some sort of connection to Mac nobody really knows the guy. Leach is known and recognizable nationwide. As for FAU getting him....I highly doubt it since he can get something a lot better. But if they do get him then more power to them...it greatly increases the perception of the league.

You should listen to interviews with him. The only thing he wants is a school that is committed to athletics and has the facilities to sell recruits. Sound familiar? BCS big six conference is no where in his requirements.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
