I don't get the move. Dude was building a little something that could've had him in Pac-12 North runner-up territory every year, with Petersen out at Washington. Stanford, Oregon State and Cal are nothing special—and Leach has always had Oregon's number. **** near almost beat them this year.
Leaving the lush Pacific Northwest for Starkville, Mississippi and to be an SEC West bottom-feeder—now having to use his lack-of-charisma and personality to out-recruit the hungry and fired-up Lane Kiffin in-state? Good luck.
Outside of the Egg Bowl finally being interesting, nothing about this move makes sense—especially for a head coach who doesn't give a rat's *** about defense and lost to a 1-3 UCLA team this year, despite spiring 63 points.
The SEC is gonna eat him alive, unless he puts a precedent on defense—and had he actually done that in Pullman, the Cougars actually would've been a bigger threat to do more in the division and conference.
Must've seriously been disenchanted with Wazzu's top brass to leave.
Bill Moos was the AD who brought Leach to Pullman years ago and he bailed for the Nebraska gig late 2017. He was Oregon's AD for a dozen years before that. Pat Chun (from FAU) took over as athletic director in January 2018 and two years later, Leach bounced. Curious the situation there, or if Leach just wanted a change after eight seasons.
