As a follow on to the Drink thread, I was reading an Athletic article last week on the question of induction into the "big HOF" and ran across these quotes -
Leach was inducted into Texas Tech’s Hall of Fame in 2023. Washington State announced this week it will put Leach into its Hall of Fame later this year.
To begin the discussion, a school must nominate the player or coach for the Hall of Fame. People at Texas Tech and Washington State plan to make the case. Mississippi State surely will as well.
Seems there were discussions on statues, plaques, flags, etc. but don't recall one on the MSU HOF unless I missed it. No doubt he should be in the the big one but my first reaction is not MSU. Appears he was headed on the same path as previous stops but not sure he was here long enough to confirm it? Thinking about his career at TT and WSU it was pretty similar to Mullen here. About a decade, made us relevant, taken to "new heights" but never really won anything (not to be negative but one of the "hits" I read on on Mike). I'm good with Dan.
Thoughts?
There was this "ouch" in the comments section of the article (one is not like the others) - 158 games at three average/below average Power 5 programs. Dude was winning games in Lubbock, Pullman, and Starkville when kids would have rather played in Austin, Seattle, or Oxford.
