Leach is happy with where he is, makes great money and is winning a decent amount of games.

Or maybe Dana already told Tech no. That's another possibility.I agree with 50% of this tweet.
This would be my guess.Or maybe Dana already told Tech no. That's another possibility.
I don't personally believe that is true but that is just my feeling based on the information that I have. Hell, he may want to simply get a raise and a long term contract at WVU and use Tech to get there.This would be my guess.
Any indication as to why they were all cancelled? Was it Tech that cancelled them or the candidate?Texas Tech was scheduled to host several prospects in for official visits this weekend, but those have all now been canceled.

Nothing could compare to the shit show there as the dysfunction in that program is legendary.Just read that Venables has announced he isn’t leaving Clemson, wants to stay with his freshman LB son.
Respectable...but now TT has lost their top 5 candidates in less than 24 hours. Could this be the next Tennessee shit show?
You spend 8 years watching Derek Dooley and Butch Jones coach your team and see what it’ll do to you.Says the guy who was wishing Gruden would come out of retirement to coach his team
Agreed 100%. But he’s 67 years old today. Not for nothing but you have to question his drive and longevity. Doesn’t even take into account he’s been out of coaching for several years.Mack Brown has an outstanding record as a coach. Few can match it. He had some bad days but what coach hasn’t. He is a smart individual and is familiar wth UNC.
What is Tuberville up to these days?I'm hoping that there are some good cyber Monday deals on mid-tier coaches today.
Just go ahead and say it... "soon"I agree with 50% of this tweet.
0-5 skid to end the season. Coaches turning you down. Recruits canceling visits. I mean, it might not be as bad as ours was... but you're not exactly off to a good start there chief.Nothing could compare to the shit show there as the dysfunction in that program is legendary.
A lot of these thing get magnified as all of your choices are instantly made public and so are the misses and interest. I think in this scenario it is perfectly acceptable to be turned down for your top guys. But who knows, a shit show could ensue.
Clemson is a team that I hate. And I especially hate that the ACC is such a disaster right now that they (Clemson) actually has a virtual straight line to the CFP every year. So i'd love for UNC or anyone, really, to step up and be a thorn in their side.I like the Mack Brown hire under certain conditions.
UNC football is at a weird spot. They are a program that should really be in a much better position than they are. They have the financial resources, the history, the desirable campus and location (near North Carolina's Triangle region), NC is a mildly warm recruiting hotbed, and the prestige and national exposure (large national fan base) that they should really be a bigger draw and have more success.
Now, I'm not saying they are ever going to be a Tier One school, they may not compete for National Championships yearly, or even ever, but explain to me why UNC can't become like Oklahoma State and be in the top 25 consistently, with the occasional top 10 finish? Their division in the ACC features: Miami, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Duke, Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech. UNC has the potential to vault all those programs with the exception of Miami; but UNC should be right there at the top with Miami every year in the race to win the division and play for the ACC championship. That kind of success -- being ahead of the Dukes, Pittsburghs, Virginias, Virginia Techs, and Georgia Techs of the world, is not something that should be beyond the grasp of this program.
They need someone who can tap that potential. Yeah, Mack Brown isn't gonna be able to elevate UNC over ACC powerhouses Clemson or Florida State any time soon (at least while Dabo Swinney is at Clemson), but this isn't the SEC.
Mack Brown establishes credibility and direction to a program that has the untapped resources to be a low second tier program. If he can channel that, he won't need to return them to the days of finishing 10-1 like he did in the late 90's. Finishing more consistently 7-4, 8-3, makes this is a successful hire. And with the rumors that he's bringing back Gene Chizik and maybe even a hot OC like Kliff Kingbury, if he can establish the program as the "elder statesman" before turning it over to the young guy, that may be the edge UNC needs to permanently vault into a higher tier.
scuse me, sir, that is lower to MID TIER to you, buddy.0-5 skid to end the season. Coaches turning you down. Recruits canceling visits. I mean, it might not be as bad as ours was... but you're not exactly off to a good start there chief.
Still, as embarrassing as that shit show was, in 3 years Tennessee will be a perennial top 25 team and Texas Tech will still be a lower tier Big 12 team.
