Leach rumors about Texas Tech
- Thread starter CougPatrol
- Start date
I want to believe that so bad, but no way Petersen goes to SC. SC doesn't even have a president right now, do they? That program is in disarray. CP has a ton of stability right now.
I think he could at SC. He’s a good enough coach with a consistent enough approach. He’s not going to at UW though he’s hit the ceiling as far as the talent he can bring in. The talent difference is undefeated/1 loss teams at SC that can compete with the Alabamas talent wise vs 3-4 loss teams at UW with him as coach. SC can recruit in the Top 5 nationally. UW can not and is generally in the 20-30 range as Tron pointed out before.
Unlike a few people here.......
It's very unlikely Leach goes back to Tech. But it's not outside the realm of possibility that a whole bunch of money (past due and future guarantees) couldn't overcome.
Hell, I've heard of people who've been divorced for years get back together again in later life. It happens.
That doesn’t cover future amounts due on the contract. Trust was obviously broken.
A promise to pay in the future from the State of Texas isn’t worth squat.
I laughed out loud when I heard this ridiculous rumor! Too funny! Leach will never return to Tech, no way and I'm judging that on everything he has said and written about Tech and how they parted ways! Tech is slime for not paying Leach the money he earned and that they OWED him. But get used to the rumors, Leach's name is going to come up over and over this winter with many of the open CF head coaching gigs. I hope he's happy enough in Pullman to stay. He's really made a nice place/team for himself/the community/Coug Nation.
Escrow it. You do contracts - there's loads of ways to work around potential deadbeat payors.
Especially ones with unlimited cash reserves.
Except the contract isn’t enforceable in Texas that was what Leach ran into in Texas with the whole “sovereign immunity”
The reporter that started the Leach to TT crap, is the great grandson of the reporter that wrote this:
The entire contract would have to be funded upfront, and I don't know if sovereign immunity would nullify that or not.
Brent Venables turned down an interview. His son plays for Clemson. He'd make a good HC.
Worst decision OU made was watching him go.
Venables isnt gonna leave for TT. He is a bigger head coaching prospect than that.
Exactly. I don't think he's probably going back to TT - but if the money was large enough, who knows? There'd be a team of very highly compensated legal guys figuring out the mechanics and risk mitigation.
The defense was kind of going downhill on his watch. Not that it was his fault. No one seems able to turn that defense into something decent even with the caliber of recruits OU pulls.
When the Price to 'Bama rumors came up who really saw that as plausible. Then that's exactly what happened. Tony Bennett left his entire staff in the dust other than Ron Sanchez as he burned rubber out of the Palouse.
Anything can happen this time of year.
Ok, I don't know why Kiffin would fly out my ass with monkeys, but both are more likely than CML going back to Lubbock. I don't care if it is a rumor or not. It's fake news.
Heh heh.....
And TT might be a job that everybody turns down until they get to the dregs. Yeah they were overpaying pretty boy Cliff, and they might do so again, but aside from that who wants to go to Lubbock Texas and have to look up at CML's god-like stature as the mark to equal or beat?
This whole thing brings me to an over-arching question... Would CML go anywhere in Texas? Maybe if he was able to craft the contract in a very specific way. But even if the contract was breached and sovereign immunity was applied, would State law void any contract written to ease or salve any hesitations CML would have?
See, specifically, CML has railed against TT. But he's been very open about how the whole concept is contradictory to his beliefs. I just don't see him going to the STATE of Texas.
Now looking at states... Okie? Don't know about their state laws but man... He's been there once and he rocked it. Okie State? Louisiana? He's ALWAYS had good things to say about Nebraska. If Nebraska ever opens up, I'll bet he might know the AD there. And he knows he works well with him.
BUT... here's my caveat. I think CML knows Pullman/WSU is a bit of the Last of the Mohicans. We are a dying breed when it comes to the political infestation that comes with college football. We are a bastion for him to avoid the one thing he has stated quite openly. Politics within his program. Within reason, HE gets to run it the way he wants to. Can you imagine what it's like internally at Nebraska? sheesh, thanks but no thanks. so anyways... rambling thoughts.

I think I read the sovereign immunity law doesn't apply to private universities, so maybe Baylor?
Disney representatives wanting to discuss possible partnership on CML’s pirate theme park in N Dakota.
My scenario:
TT: Please come back.
ML: You owe me $2 million.
TT: If we pay you will you come back?
ML: If you pay me, I'll consider it.
TT: We are on our way.
ML: Hi. I told you to pay in cash.
TT: OK here.
ML: Thanks.
TT: Will you come back?
ML: Nah.
