PrintHe might be staying at WVU. All that "Next Coach at 'Bama" stuff? Just toss that in the "President Gore," "David Lee Roth Reuniting With Van Halen," and "Arrested Development: The Movie" pile for now.
Again, if everyone in the country who didn't want the gig would please purchase one of these and don it immediately, this long national nightmare would be over with in a matter of hours.
MIKE LEACH---DESTINY IS CALLING!!! YARRR!!!
Now available in all sizes. Click on the shirt to go to our shop. Sadly, not available in blue and yellow.

We eagerly await the “he really isn’t that good of a coach” and “he wasn’t the guy I wanted” comments from the dellusional crowd in Tuscaloosa.
Yeah…sure….whatever. Earlier today you were all saying that he was exactly who you needed, but now that he has decided that the grass is greener in Morgantown, he’s a bum.

Leach to Bama would fit about as well as Callahan to Nebraska. The old fans would be wondering what these crazy 5 wide sets are and what that thing called the forward pass is. It’d probably be a great hire if they did decide to go after Leach, but they won’t.
Cross your fingers that Moore keeps his head up his ass a little longer. I’m hoping that sometime around February 8 they announce a new head man.

Glanville is a DefCon.
I think we should go after Urban Meyer. He’s had some success as a head coach, he runs the spread offense, and, best of all, he’s a mercenary. He’d probably stab his own mother in the eye for a bigger contract.

What Bama fans need to do is join me on the Paul Johnson Bandwagon of Low Expectations (“Paul Johnson BLowEs”). One sure way to avoid the firey sting of disappointment that comes from being spurned by a high profile coach is to set your expectations low: Paul Johnson low! Paul Johnson is a proven winner with not one but TWO National Championships. What other coaching candidate can make such a claim? So sing it loud and proud: Paul Johnson BLowEs!

I think Jerry Glanville is the DC at Hawaii, but I’m too lazy to check. Also, I don’t think the “houndstooth girls” are that hot. They’re plain looking to me, and I think that they probably have fat ankles and legs.
