No, Kent Hance is not our Captain - our Pirate Captain is Leach - if you don't know the way we do things at Tech, maybe you shouldn't offer to correct someone who does.

Hance may be a butt pirate, but he's no Captain.

One of the funny things that keeps being said is that Leach didn’t play the game - he wasn’t willing to kiss the big donors butt, however, the big donor who got all of this rolling is Craig’s buddy. Maybe Leach tried to get this Nanny Daddy banned and just couldn’t get it done because of the good old boys who were catering to the donor?

It was Kent Hance who ran Leach off.

I will miss Leach as he was the only coach in the country who actually provided real commentary about his player’s fat girlfriends.

If Leach’s solution to college kids with bad attitudes is to lock them in a shed, how’s he going to handle overpaid prima donna pro athletes?

I do not think he is going to have many no talent cry baby pansy a$$es in the pros.

Leach nor his system would work in the pros.

He's too unpredictable for a league that fines Ochocinco on a weekly basis.

Additionally, his system relies on yards-after-catch which is much easier on the college level. His receivers would be beaten up within a matter of weeks in the NFL given the level of speed and size of DB's.

That’s quite possible. Money talks in college sports!

Speaking of money... Leach was fired only a few days before he was due a bonus payment of (I think) $800,000.

Rumors are out that Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders, is interested in Leach being his coach.
