Rick Leach on College Football

I had the opportunity to listen to Leach discuss his book and then touch on what he expects in CFB this year.

1.  He loves Spurrier,  Thinks that the "Ole Ball Coach" is the driving force behind all of the changes in the passing game being accepted.  He told a story about Spurrier that he called a legend in Fla.  That Spurrier was upset with the FG kicker missing and told his coach to let him kick.  Of course he made the FG with 2 minutes left.  (1966 against Auburn to lead them to 30-27 win.) He said he was the most competitive person he ever met.

2. Top 3 Teams .
Bama, LSU, OK
From his statements he was pretty clear that he thought LSU and Bama are the most talented teams.
The other host questioned his pick of LSU and he went into some details that surprised me.  The other guy was doubting Jefferson.  Leach acknowledge the problems and passed it off to coaching. 
His quote was that if last year.
If LSU was just "Average" on Offense they would have won the whole thing last year, and that this year nobody would beat them.  (He says JJ just needs to let it happen slowly. )

3.  He also talked about the different types of coaches.
A) Those that love it and are involved in the game planning and coaching..  He respected this group.
B)  Those that like to recruit and really don't thrive on coaching, they act it on Saturdays but are not doing it behind the scenes.
C)  Those that like the title, but never really enjoy it.
