Article on Mike Leach - Interesting
The only part I dont like is him supporting super conferences made up of 64 teams. It looks like FAU will be left out, so why would he coach here if not part of what he sees as being closer to a playoff system? That will be the biggest hurdle in landing him…no doubt.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I like Leach a lot, but I do not see the possibility of a 64 team playoff. FCS recently moved from 16 to 20 and I think that might be too many.
FBS could handle 8 and maximum 16 teams. Realistically no more than that many have a shot at the title.
GO OWLS!!!

I think our advantage in that debate right now is that most of the "super conference teams" won't touch him…we are in a position to take risks.

+13….that was one of original arguments as to why he'd come here.

Why the hell would anyone want to live in New Mexico?
So I wouldn't be worried there.
UCLA would probably be a more attractive offer than FAU, though.

I see New Mexico might want you. Will you coach again?
"I want to go to a place that's undervalued, where the potential is great, a place that wants to win, not just participate, in football. When I was at Tech, no public school was ahead of us in graduation rates. We got our guys to compete in the classroom, and if they're competing in class and in football, that's an attitude they take into life."
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!
