No Defensive philosophy

The whole James Fiasco
He's not a defensive coach, so who cares? His defensive philosophy can be "You have free reign, DC. Get me the ball", just like Spurrier at UF with Stoops/Strong.
Won Big 12/PAC-12 COtY awards, as well as 3 different national COtY awards. He's been at TxTech and Wazzu, so he never had the raw material to win NCs there. He would here, especially if Wilson and YawYaw were kept on staff.
"Trouble"? Such as? And...so what? I don't want a politician, I want a damned football coach.
The "James fiasco" was him having some integrity...which I prefer in people. The James family is a bunch of dirtbags.

Exactly, just like a defensive coach like Stoops at OU brings in Licoln Riley as OC and give him free reign. Leach doesn't need to be a defensive genius, that's why he has a DC.
Leach is a great coach who is a winner but he definitely wants to do things his way and not deal with the BS of boosters and the admin, similar to Schnellenberger. That style doesn't play well in the SEC or in Texas where the power boosters want to meddle like they did in the failed Les Miles coup attempt.
Out in Wazzu, Leach has more autonomy. It's a shame because I would love to see what he could do at LSU but the big money boosters would never go for it.
Really the only cat in the SEC who gets away with dissing boosters is Saban, because he's got the trophies to get them to know their role and shut the hell up.
