Conversation from Double-T Nation (Texas Tech SBNation Blog) About Mike Leach and Louisville

If we're speculating, we might as well see what they're speculating.

Some of the better points of conversation:

My question to all of you and the folks in Louisville is “why would you want to hire a coach coming off a perhaps 7-4 or 6-6 season”? The alums and admin will want nothing to do with that. The coaching profession is all about striking while the iron is hot and Leach was firey hot last year, not this year. This year proves that there is much work to be done and why should he leave to start all over again given next year’s team and the incoming recruits. No school wants a coach coming off an average season and has yet to win any conference titles . . . - WreckerRaider

IMHO, you guys are right on the money as to why this rumor makes litle sense, and thus probably trash. However, the notion that our coaches name is mentioned often, and with wreckless abandon doesn’t fly. The reason his name has come up in the past is because, in fact, he was shopping... - TTUMAR

...Leach is going no where. He’s got one of the best paying contracts in college football today. Is on the verge of putting an exclamation point on what will be 10 years of extraordinary development, strategy, and accomplishment for a program that should always be indebted to him. The double TT and Leach brand are inseparable. He retires a Red Raider the
ultimate “rebel” (pirate)! - Raiderit
