Mike Leach now in the SEC

[steeleagle 2,945]

I don't know if Mississippi can handle Lane Kiffin AND Mike Leach in the same state....WOW!

[AUTUmike 79]

SEC Media Days, and certainly the Egg Bowl, just got a whole lot more interesting. I've been wanting Leach in the SEC for years (just not at Auburn).

Our division is ******* ludicrous

 Orgeron

 Saban

 Kiffin

 Fischer

 Malzahn

 Leach

 

Arkansas need to move out

[AuburnEagle79 2,165]

The SEC West officially has a sitcom cast for coaches. Nick Saban is Ron Swanson. Whoever the Arkansas coach is would probably equate to a character that gets written off after a season or two.

Arkansas is Jerry, no matter the coach, still Jerry

does that add another loss for Auburn. Our secondary is gonna get lit up.

Please don't disgrace Ron Swanson that way.

I considered Toby from The Office, but then I couldn't help imagining Nicky as the one that would redact his birth date from all government documentation.

Thankful for Arkansas. Keeps us out of the cellar 😎

Fixed it for you.

Going to be alot harder for Gus to get his 8 wins

[oracle79 3,569]

The wild, wild west. Natural selection will be fully in play. Adapt or cease to exist. Should be an entertaining year.

[AidiAU 1,270]

I am SO excited!!!

[AUGoo 2,659]

Good Times ahead!!!

[fredst 9,064]

Auburn's coach now last place in the division for "Coaches I want to have a beer with". Conversely, first on the "Most likely to play PokémonGo" list.....so we've got that.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Wish Auburn's BOT and Greene had hired Mike Leach instead of giving Gus that 7 million a year for 7 years.

[aubietiger14 147]

Well Moo State will never lose a press conference!

[Win4AU 4,052]

I may have to take this back but I don’t think Mike Leach in the SEC will work.  Miss State is the perfect school for him to end up at but I  m not worried about him being good on a consistent basis.  Every where he’s been he’s been average or below for the most part with a special season mixed in.  I’m more concerned with Kiffin than Leach.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

I wouldn't put Malzahn on the same list with Saban, Leach, Kiffin, Fisher and Orgeron.

He's entertaining as hell, but State is going to continue to be a 7- or 8-win program. I don't see how Leach changes that. State is the functional equivalent of a Texas Tech or a Wazzou but with tougher competition. He beat 8-wins at Wazzou twice. He's had three seasons ever with fewer than four losses. That's in 18 years coaching. It's not like he just traded up in terms of talent relative to his competition. 

Again, entertaining, but he's gonna keep doing what he's done. 4- or 5-loss seasons with as many 7+ loss years as 3-loss years. Nothing about this really moves the needle for State or changes how Auburn views them. It might put them close to where they were with Mullen (a better coach than Leach), which is solidly fourth to sixth in the West with an occasional jump up to second or third every decade.

I basically said the same thing in the rivals section about MSU and the hire.

The only thing better would be if Spurrier was still at USCe for media days...
