not sure I see a fit with his personality / style and that very conservative fan base.
but He’s a natural with any school that has the “red headed stepchild” syndrome
Leach is a guy that wears out his welcome after a few years wherever he goes. But he can build/rebuild a program.
He has already worked in the Pac 12. Can't imagine him going back out there.

Back when Tim Beckman was hired I thought Leach would have been a great coach for the Illini, but he had baggage related to his dismissal from Texas Tech, whether fair or not. I think that was a missed opportunity for our football program, but I understand (but don’t agree with) the administration’s apparent concerns.

I desperately wanted him at the time.
The Big Ten would have been a weird fit, even weirder than the SEC, but that's an alternate universe I'd still be interested to see.

Might be the right fit at Arizona state...some program desperate for the headlines...etc. Couldnt see Deion at say Nebraska more conservative base, etc. He's going to fly off the handle at some point, so better be a safe place that can run interference for him.I read the article and watched the video. I don't think he hurt his chances at all. To me, it seems like sour grapes by Alabama State's coach. I think Deion is totally justified in being upset that another coach said he "wasn't SWAC." That is one incredibly loaded statement.
'He ain't SWAC:' Robinson snubs Deion 'bro hug'
Alabama State coach Eddie Robinson Jr. took Jackson State coach Deion Sanders' hand following Alabama State's 26-12 loss to Jackson State, but wanted no part of an embrace with Sanders, instead shoving him with his left hand as he walked away.www.espn.com
Of course, Deion is going to be fiery. Of course, there's going to be showmanship. This is who he is and what he brings to the table. What he also brings to the table is excellent recruiting and winning.

That big EGO...is going to pop up at some point....and cause a lot of scrambling. I don't think Saban would be a good reference......Great Player, Good Coach...but I get the idea something could blow up...and get ugly.
Not involving a head coach, but Indiana fired their OL coach.

+ Rutgers fired their OC. Big Ten must be the only conference allowed to fire coaches during the season.
Doesn’t seem like KF going anywhere for a long time. 42 million buyout.I hope the Iowa coaching change comes after Saturday. I hope their defense just falls apart and we thrash them like they did us before. 70-0 .. so their AD tells their coach either you fire your son as OC or we fire you both with KF refusing and both getcanned out of their on Sunday. lol

Saw one idea that’s possible.. BF co-oc and bring someone else in to handle playcalling. He wouldn’t demote BF to position coach due to $$

I think the ultimate “what if?” from that cycle is Dave Doeren. Yes he was just one year in at NIU, but clearly year working under Bielema at Wisconsin showed he had a good pedigree. I have to imagine if we had hired him we would have never hit the rock bottom 2-win season floor and would have gone to at least 4 or 5 bowl games since then.
The Hayden Fry/Barry Alvarez coaching tree is pretty impressive, and would be the first place i'd look for a new coach
I swore up and down that he wouldn’t work in the sec because the defenses were too good there. Too many future nfl players.
Man was I wrong.
On top that, leech has the benefit of being hilarious.

Yeah. He may or may not have been successful in rebuilding the dumpster fire he would have inherited at Illinois (I think he would have), but at the least he would have been entertaining and way more fun for the media. The Anti-Lovie if you will.
Matt Rhule officially on the market

The Panthers fired coach Matt Rhule on Monday after a 1-4 start to the season and with four seasons left on a seven-year, $62 million contract he received in 2020.

He's another one like Bill O'Brien where I'm really not sure what to make of him despite a long and prominent track record.Matt Rhule officially on the market

I think his politics & manner would have turned off the top 1/2 of the state. But then again, anything would have been better than Beckman/Cubit/Smith.
If I'm Oklahoma I give him a long, hard look based on his success at Baylor.
If I'm Rhule I avoid Nebraska like the plague and either count my millions or take a booth role until the Spring.
Oklahoma? They just hired Venables, they’ll be fine

always wondered what makes Leach a good coach.
Repetition and perfection. It may have expanded but his offense is really only like 5 plays + some option routes and they rep the bubble gum out of them until every single person is on the exact same page and execute without having to think.
