What's going on with Mike Leach...... He's offered a 5 year extension but hasn't signed..... his OB says he think he will be somewhere else next year because he wants a challenge..... Is he going to Auburn? What's up with that? I haven't heard 'Jack' from anybody but since there isn't any new rumors out there today I thought I'd throw this against the wall......

TT's offering 12.1 over 5 years..... I don't think he is out of our price range.....

You do the math. Is the difference worth leaving a place where you are a god to do the same thing over again with another crappy football school? The answer. No way in hell.

2.5 a year would be more money than they offered...you do the math.....if we offered 3 per year that would be almost 600k more per year than they offered....

The whole point though is not would he come here or stay there.... the point is his QB says he will probably be SOMEWHERE ELSE next year because he wants a challenge......

Then it's a no brainer...he is coming to Starksville.

Guess they're basing it on Gundy (Ok State) getting 7 years at $12M or something. We could pay him $1M more per year and AU could probably pay $2M more per year. If he wants a challenge, then we're the place for sure. Be interesting to watch b/c we the numbers our two schools are throwing around I wonder if it pissed him off they offered $2M.

statement, lack of other job openings, plus he is a bit off. Plus no one has mentioned his name with MSU>

$12.1M over 5 years is roughly $2.4M per year. Are you saying that MSU could pay Leach $3.4 per year and that Auburn would pay him $4.4M per year.

Edited to add: I wouldn't say TT's offer is a low-ball, because $2.4 would have to make Leach one of the highest paid guys in the Big 12.

This is exactly the kind of jaw dropper I expect from Byrne.

fat fingered the calculator - I had $2.1M in my head so that was wrong. Anyway - while $2.4M isn't bad - don't you think he feels he should be paid more than Nutt?

And I think Auburn would clearly go to around $4M with their Saban envy.

I really was thinking more Auburn than us but, we would definitely be the BIGGER challenge! Who knows, he is an eccentric kind of guy.....
