Leach - Too much of a POS, or good enough at football to overlook all that?
Not that great at football
compared to whom? I will predict that he's great at football relative relative to whoever we end up hiring.
Who we currently have. Since he got to Washington State his wins number is within a couple of games, give or take, as Snyder's in the same time period. I looked it up like a month ago. If Snyder were to stay on in certain this year would be an aberration and most years we'd be at 6-8 wins, that's exactly what Leach is.
I have no idea what Venables, LittreLL, Kleiman, Satterfield, et al would do here, I'm certain what Leach would do.
Mike Leach has won 8 or more regular season games in the last 4 seasons and will almost definitely win more this year...Snyder's won 8 regular season games once in the last 4 seasons and will almost definitely fewer than six this year.
And to your other point that Leach will only beat Snyder in that S& P+ for the third time this year...it will happen two years in a row.
Honestly I think now we're a 5-7 win program that can win 9 in an exceptional year while Leach has built a 7-9 win program that can win 11 in an exceptional year. Which is what Snyder 2.0 HAD been and I would take right now. I may be reacting too strongly to the last two seasons, but I don't see any indication that Snyder will improve any time soon, while I would absolutely accept Leach's results and trajectory. Admittedly I don't know exactly what Leach's recruiting looks like, but I am assuming they're in a more stable position.
