Yesterday, we had a nice little discussion on whether or not Mike Leach was accurately ranked as the No. 17 coach in the country. Today, we take it to the next level. Mike Strange of govolsxtra.com took college coach rankings to the next level. Instead of being concerned about how they rank in 2012, he looked at how they'll rank in 2022.
He runs through some names of current top coaches and predicts their whereabouts in 2022. Leach comes up, but only briefly.
Some won't. I can't see No. 14 Mark Richt coaching at 62. Can Mike Leach carry on as a 61-year-old pirate? Probably.
Now, keep in mind, in 10 years Leach will likely be fresh off his 10th consecutive BCS Championship victory so I'm not even sure he will want to keep coaching at that point. But the question is, where do you think Mike Leach will rank in 2022?
