Go ahead and hire Leach. By hiring Leach, you are admitting that you have ZERO interest in ever winning anything of note. You have no interest in being a competitive national program. Leach is the kind of guy that succeeds in a low pressure, low expectations atmosphere. He's a one trick pony, a coach that isn't interested in running a complete program. He doesn't recruit, outside of the two years he had Alex Grinch, hasn't had defenses worth a ****, and is so incredibly weird he alienates serious minded boosters and donors.
It's amazing that Leach and his agent consistently throw his name out, but no major school will sniff him. Ever wonder why? Exactly. If FSU had a competent AD, with competent leadership, they will look toward the mid major ranks, and avoid the splash hire(Unless it's someone like Meyer). FSU isn't the job people think it is, but it's a **** good one. Ironically, they are extremely similar to Miami, just with a larger donor pool(Which they don't successfully leverage)
