    I thought that too. Textbook Herbie.

    'What was the call by the officials? Now I will tell you why it was correct.'

    Too many announcers take that approach.

    If ND loses the playoff picture gets real interesting real quick.

    A loss to an unranked team in November and no CCG (aka the 13th data point) should eliminate them from consideration.

    And while he’ll be preparing for Northwestern, if he has anytime to breathe he’ll do some lobbying.

    Why do you say that? When in the past has he done any lobbying with a game left on his schedule? Was he campaigning for a BCS berth before the SEC CCG against Arkansas in '06? No. What about before the B1G CCG against Wiscondin in '14? Again no. 

    When has any coach done that? Why would they?

    I have no dog in this fight, but I'm not sure you have an equivalent of the shitty WSU program over in the B1G to compare what he's done there. We have Kansas but at least they are good at hoops and had some limited football success a decade ago.

    that program outside maybe a couple better than average years is historic garbage.  So a coach who can recruit and get transfers in to a literal dumpster and turn them into a top of conference program, that's pretty good.  

    I don't think he's a coaching great, but he sure looks like a good coach who has a great mind for football.  Hes turned around a middling and bottom feeder, so he might surprise a lot of people at an upper tier program with resources.  

    Mike Price won two Pac-10 titles at WSU. That wasn't that long ago. 

    Everybody wants to see what Leach could do at a more major program with better resources. But nobody wants it to be at their school. That 1-6 record against his big rival doesn't help. 

  5. Surly RichRod got upset at home in his big season-ending rivalry game with the Pac-12 CCG and a possible playoff berth on the line. His sixth consecutive Apple Cup loss. 

    But we forget the upset losses. We only remember the upset wins. Plus his offense is fun to watch when it's working and he gives funny press conferences. So he's great. He should be coaching someplace better. Just not at my school.
