Apparently Mike Leach was fired as Texas Tech’s football coach. Did anyone else not know this? We can’t believe ESPN dropped the ball and didn’t mention anything before, during, or after the Valero Alamo Bowl….
As big time fans of The Pirate (He’s like the Johnny Depp of D1 Football!), we’re outraged by the situation. I mean how could Texas Tech release him into this economic climate?
Fear not Mike, the crack staff at BOTG has compiled a list of positions for someone with your talent. Seven foot splits between linemen? Passing 74 times a game? Not playing defense? Revolutionary.
The first is potential fit is obvious, AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRkansas. Sure Bobby Petrino is the incumbent, but come on! The Razorbacks required overtime to beat East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl, and not the 2008 East Carolina team who beat Virginia Tech and West Virginia, but the lame 2009 version that sent coach Skip Holtz running to South Florida. We’re sure that as Petrino is reading this, he can feel the heat rising… or the plank being extended.
With Skippy gone, the East Carolina job is vacant. Seriously Mike, don’t wait for them to call, take the initiative like you with Washington last year. We’re sure East Carolina would be cool if you showed up on their doorstep looking for an interview. However, we’re not as confident (but still kind of confident) that, like Washington, EC would even listen to what you have to say. Want more incentive? East Carolina’s mascot is the Pirates. What do we call this in the sporting world? Destiny.
Perhaps dealing with kids (and their griping parents) isn’t your cup of tea anymore. University student-athletes are tough to deal with. Think about it, between class and chubby little girlfriends, there is no time left for a coach and the valuable lessons he might bestow upon such impressionable young gentlemen. Maybe the NFL is the next place for Leach…
It has been reported, by me, that Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis is interested in acquiring Mike Leach’s offensive services (as both an offensive genius and offensive human (GT is on fire!)).
“It would be a tremendous honor to join coaching legends such as Art Shell and Lane Kiffin. With myself, Captain Long John Leach, at the helm and legendary arm of first mate Jamarcus Russell (even if he’s 6 of 74) the Raiders could be Super Bowl contenders,” Leach said, “[Expletive] with Darren McFadden I could finally try out this crazy wildcat thing.”
Mike, we hope this helps. If these openings don’t shake out just know the staff at BOTG is pulling for you. That reminds me, have you considered a career change? Correction officers have the keys to all the cells and storage/electric closets and total control.
Happy hunting.
Final Note: Gordon is shipping out to Tortuga Isle for an exclusive interview with Leach and his new assistant Captain Barbosa.
