The way to get some college football coaches to talk is an art form, and Alyssa Lang of SEC Network figured out the key to Mike Leach‘s gift of gab is speaking on weddings.

After learning all he could about their situation, Leach gave some interesting advice that perhaps all couples will begin to follow — at least in Starkville.
“Whatever you and Trevor decide, I would kind of keep it on the down low, which you’ve failed to do that. Trevor was probably planning to, but you didn’t,” stated Leach. “So go ahead and don’t say anything else about it, but as soon as the season’s over, or even an off week, go elope. Trust me on that, go elope. Basically every female in the family is going to terrorize you guys until it’s over.
“Once it’s over, they’ll be upset for a few days, but it’ll be over and you cruise along, have a happy marriage, have a happy life.”
Of course, Leach feels like he’s definitely doing Lang and Sikkema a solid — adding that Trevor will push for the Mississippi State leader’s idea, “unless he’s crazy.”
“Trevor, unless he’s crazy, is totally on my side, and trust me on this, if Trevor doesn’t have the sense to do that, don’t even call me. He needs to. I told all my kids, I’ll give you ten thousand dollars extra if you elope. So far they haven’t done it, but I would,” added Leach.
Whenever Mike Leach decides to be done with coaching, the world of marriage could be next on the docket. Officiant, marriage consular, wedding planner — whatever it is, Leach will excel at.
