Food for thought about Leach...pass receptions by Running Backs...

Is there anything he has said that leads us to believe he would take a coordinator's position?

According to this year's stats, Ridley had 11 catches and Murphy had 10, but I can't recall a single one.

I can recall a few. There were usually on 3rd down and about 3 yards short of the 1st down marker

Nope

yes. He has said he would consider it

Cool

maybe considering he was in br on a radio show and someone from audience asked him if he would consider coming to lsu and his response was o/c

Murph caught one on a swing for a good gain Sat and they called the same play again but Lee threw it too early and we had to punt.

Ridley - caught that little middle screen in the red zone en route to the 2nd TD this past game. I thought we'd use him more in the passing game this yr, but seems to be an Arky thing. he's had 4 catches vs. Arky in back to back yrs.

Murphy - had that catch on a screen vs UNC and fumbled. only memorable one

Ware looked good catching, and had a couple of the bigger "what mighta been" plays on wheel routes. damn you JJ's accuracy

Leach uses the screen game in lieu of the running game. Backs that can catch (which I believe is nearly every one on our roster) are important to his offense.

I think even Leach would tell you that he believes the screen game to be a natural substitute for a traditional running game.

And guess what backs have to do in the NFL, catch the ball.
