Drinkwitz demands Leach in HOF
- Thread starter stateu1
- Start date
I saw that earlier. Long story short, I agree. If Mike Leach never coached college football (GA, QB coach, OC, HC, whatever), I’m not sure the game is what it is today.
My understanding is all it would take is 1 win. It’s that close. Now remember his first year was Covid and he didn’t even get to have spring to install his offense. So radically different brand new system being installed in a few weeks of fall practice. Also no OOC games. Easily would be in if not for all the Covid mess.
He also lost 2 games that year that we were below the minimum threshold of players. At Georgia and the Liberty Bowl vs Texas Tech. He had every right to play the “no contest” card like everyone else was doing. But as only he could, he swung his sword.
He’s right of course. It’s the HOF loss. I’m sure a lot more people know who Mike Leach was than know the HOF even exists. I didn’t until I saw the threads here about Leach being 1 win short.
Played Tulsa in Armed forces bowl in 20, it was 2021 when we played TT and had all the opt outs
He should be credited for two wins at the Armed forces bowl. We won the fight too.
Well coached. They knew their role. No need for micro management
Exactly. A great leader prepares his subordinates to act appropriately in a given situation.
It seems silly to not make an exception in his case. But there are always the irritating "we have rules, we must follow the rules always" crowd that prevents good things from happening.
I was thinking the two 2020 games we were short were UGA and the Egg Bowl.
Wasn't the UGA game where our plane sat on the tarmac while the SEC "encouraged" us not to cancel the game?
SEC didn’t force us into anything. Mike Leach wasn’t canceling a game because we only had 40-something players available.
I don’t recall the specifics of the 2020 Egg Bowl. Texas Tech Liberty Bowl was 2021, not 2020. But we absolutely could’ve opted out of that one also due to illness/Covid and player opt outs.
Tech, Wazoo & STATE. How many non HOF coaches match his wins at those schools? Give an extra win for classes taught I say.
Drinkwitz obviously doesn't Run With The Pack. Or how Leach killed attendance at DWS and that nobody has used Leach's air raid system in 15 years because it no longer works.
