Boy were we smart/lucky

A few years back there was some talk on this blog and other UT blogs about how great it would be if we could get Mike Leach as our next football coach. If I am not mistaken, someone known around here as Scipio Tex pointed out the error in those posts. Something about how great an idea a pet elephant would be, if it was a friend rather than you who had one. Great fun to have him as a coach in college football. Not so great fun if he is your coach.

Now we have proof how prescient that was. By his recent tweets proving just how racist and ignorant he is, Leach has effectively removed himself from any consideration as a potential coach of a major college team. In fact, he has probably destroyed his career. If your recruiting base is limited to ignorant redneck white guys, I don't think you are going to win many games.

Texas may not have been in the top tier in football this decade, but at least we don't have to apologize for hiring Mike Leach.

Be excellent to each other.
