Surprised and not surprised all at the same time. Back when I worked in fancy Atlanta restaurants, I waited on he and a prominent UGA booster a couple of times. Nice guy, reminded me a bit of Mack Brown. However, he was one of those coaches that just couldn't quite hit the next tier. Kirby Smart's success at Georgia underscores this. Miami coach Richt retiring after 7-6 season
Yeah, he always seemed to me to be a pretty good coach. He had some success at UG, but he couldn't win the big one / get over the hump. The shellacking by Whiskey was the last straw at the U. Suspect he will not coach a D5 program again.
I'd love to see Leach get a bigger gig, but I can't see me ever pulling for the convicts. That would be really difficult
I wish Leach would take a shot at the NFL. Probably not his style though. But, how about Leach as a HC and KK as the OC?
