I don't agree. I believe Coach Leach believes that McGuire was doing fine coaching the offense line.He was a running back coach. I think that is where Leach would have preferred him. He had Mastro, so could not put him there. He tried to take care of him at OL. I think with Mastro gone, Leach had an opportunity to move him there. He was paid well at offensive line. I do not know what he would make as the running back. Mastro made less. It was a chance to improve the line coach position. I think it disappointed Leach that he had carried him for five years and then he leave for a job that will last maybe one year.
The Texas Tech coach is on thin ice. When he was hired he was supposed to take TT back to the Leach glory days. The previous TT RB coach is now a head coach at a small Texas college. Maybe he thinks in a year he can get one of the small Texas college jobs.
I think if Leach has a weakness he takes care of coaches, that do not that do not fully appreciate him.
Leach has moved on from coaches at WSU and TTU that weren't pulling their weight. Setencich, Breske and Russell come immediately to mind.
Also, listening to what Leach said tells us he didn't want him to leave.
