🏈 I wonder if Leach still thinks SEC defenses are overrated?

[Davestwin]

I seem to recall Leach thinking the SEC in general and SEC defenses in particular were overrated. Wonder if he still does? I imagine he felt vindicated after the LSU beat down but since that game his Big 12/Pac 12 air raid offense has crashed and burned. What’s more, LSU has been shown to be worse than a one year wonder. In having made bad Mississippi State and Auburn teams look great, they’ve replaced Arkansas as the West’s whipping boy this season.

Way too premature in my opinion. Transitioning to a new scheme is hard especially during covid-19 times.

Give the guy 5 years to recruit and then got at him with this.

5 years??? Even Msu wont give him 5 years.....
This HC thing...as you well know....isnt a "patience to produce " affair

and i bet...leach never really thought every D in SEC was over rated.... ( after lsu he may have been thinking it though)...

@50+yeartidefan Leach would not have been the only person to thing the SEC Defenses were overrated especially this year.

 

[ElephantStomp]

When he made those statements SEC defenses were huge and in some cases slow.

Leach is a:

A. Media favorite for no good reason.
B. Success because of playing in conferences where defense is not allowed. (except for Wash)
C. Clown
D. All of the above.
