You have not been following this board at all have you!

This has already been put to bed three times!

Mike will never ever go to UCLA. Let me make it very clear.

Mike has said that the only two programs which would get him away from Tech is USC and BYU.

With the BYU job Leach made it very clear that they had to cough up more money than he is making here at Tech. Something BYU can not do which Leach has already commented on.

So unless the USC position suddenly comes open, Leach will not be leaving Tech. That is the truth.

Leach likes it in Lubbock. Lubbock also has one of the 5 mormon temples outside of Utah. The numbers of Mormans around Lubbock is rather large and that number keeps increasing every year. In fact, Lubbock has the 4th largest FLDS congregations outside of Utah and Arizona.

Leach has made it very very clear. He has spoken on this subject several times. He has been honest about where he would leave to. Leach will stay at Tech. People seem to forget that a couple of years back he turned down a job that did offer more money than Tech. But it was to a school not on his dream list of 2.

So unless, USC or BYU suddenly pops up Leach is going no where. Read more here in Red Raider boards than the gosip prone other boards out there.

Keep in mind that Leach is always on someones short list every year. So people should stop panicing or looking for some controversy where there is none.

It was not board or chat room it was in the news paper of UCLA Paper that a sports person reported that UCLA wouldn't take leach. USC hasn't said one word because Pete Carroll not leaving unless he has a bad year with USC since they are in the Rose Bowl well.Coach Carroll there he not going anywhere so what i said that it came from sports writer from California news paper.BYU in a bowl so i don't think there coach Bronco Medenhall so BYU not reporting to replace there coach!SO two school are not looking so if you would go to the offical website of the Universities you would have seen this artical on UCLA it's not from board just read it and you will understand where i got my information.just like Don Williams when he reports bout Texas Tech football or any Tech sports.So there go to type UCLA University on web search type it in the it will bring front page then click on UCLA Athletics.That way you will know that UCLA has mention Leach but is not for the job at UCLA looking at somebody for the UCLA coaching job and it's not Mike Leach!you did not read what i wrote bout UCLA Mike Leach not going to UCLA I never put that he was going never said that at all if you would read what i put!and i do understand what is going on trust me!matt

show us the links or provide the source as to where you get the information that Leach has said he wouldn't go anywhere but those two schools. I might have missed it, but I've never seen him address the situation in such a light. I'd like to read that.
Thanks

Just ask Leach himself. If you ask he will give you the answer.

Sheesh its not that dificult people. Just ask Mike in the off season what other schools would he like to coach at and what type of situation would lead to him leaving.

I listen to Mike a couple of years ago after the California win. I am sure someone can search it out the interview where he made the comments I am refering to. As to which reported he gave that answer to, I am not sure. Its been a few years.

But Mike did say USC and BYU. He then had to comment on the BYU issue when the BYU job came open and he did apply. Make no illusions about it. Mike does want to coach at BYU as long as they pay at a certain level which he has said was a bit more than here at Tech.

I understand that. Why take a job that could put harm you financially over time. Also WAC is a dead end job in general for a head coach. USC is the only other job Mke wants. Has to do with where the school is located along with money and it was the team Mike liked while in California.

Just simply ask Mike. That's what I do.

Mike has said in the last 7 days that no one from UCLA has contacted him officially or unofficially.

So the reporters in California are slinging BS!

Mike has not talked to UCLA and will not contact them as he does not like UCLA.

Like I said before, there is lots of people putting Mike on their lists and then having to deal with the facts as they come out.

UCLA has already three times said they have not contacted Mike. In fact, UCLA has only talked to three people for the head coaching job. Pac 10 teams want Pro coaches. That is their trend right now. Pro coaches rarely workout in the college ranks. More have failed that have not.
