A Pirate in Oxford?

In his post on Houston Nutt's firing at Ole Miss on Monday, our own Jerry Hinnen said that Mike Leach will "be along any minute to mention how much he'd love a shot at coaching in the SEC." Well, that minute is now.

On Tuesday Mike Leach told The Commercial Appeal that if Ole Miss is interested in hiring him to replace Nutt, he isn't hard to find.

“I haven’t heard from anybody, but I’m not too hard to find,” Leach told the paper. “It’s a great job. I’m sure the (Ole Miss) administration has a certain individual it is looking for, and I’m sure they’ll find the right guy.”

As for whether or not Leach will be a target or get the job, nobody knows.

The fact of the matter is that anytime an opening is created at a program these days, Leach's name is mentioned as a replacement. Just recently he was mentioned as a candidate at Tulane, his name has come up in rumors about Arizona, and he was mentioned at places like Miami and Maryland last season as well.

He's yet to be hired anywhere, and as long as he has his current lawsuit against his former employer Texas Tech, the odds are he won't be on the sidelines anywhere. Which is a shame. Leach is one of my favorite coaches in the sport, along with one of the best, and this sport is just better off when he's a part of it.

Thoughts?  He would be as much fun as Les Miles in interviews, that's for sure.

I've always liked Leach. Not sure how I'd have felt if WE'D have hired him, but I doubt Ole Miss can do better.

I love that candy.  Especially the strawberry.

Leach would make Saturday's a little more scary.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Fuck Ole Miss and fuck Mike Leach if they decide to hire him.

For all I care, Ole Miss can hire Neil Calloway.

And I hope Saban goes to Penn State and Bama hires Kirby Smart's inexperienced ass in his place. 

And I hope Les Miles goes to the Dallas Cowboys, and LSU hires Gary Crowton as their head coach. 

And Dan Mullen can stay there because everyone needs a little hype.

The SEC has a contract with ESPN. 

Mike Leach has a war with ESPN. 

Not even worth speculating.

I never said it would happen.  Leach has openly campaigned for every single head coaching job in CFB since he was fired at Tech.  He is desperate to get rehired.  I found it amusing.

Great football coach, at some other program, in another conference.  Too much whistle blowing potential, and his level of quirky is 2 steps above Miles.

I'm not sure he's desperate enough to take Ole Miss.  He's eccentric, but not an idiot.

Not sure if Leach would fit into the SEC style. Then again, Ole Miss might have to take solicitors at this point.

And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
