Kirk Bohls of the Austin American-Statesman drops this little nugget in the middle of a column filled with "semi-outrageous" predictions for the 2010 season: Bohls says that Mike Gundy could be fired by Oklahoma State if the team underachieves again (which seems possible given that the team lost a lot of weapons from the 2009 unit), and that new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen or, gasp, his mentor, Mike Leach, could end up succeeding Gundy.
Leach landing in Stillwater actually makes more sense than his landing in Colorado, since he served a stint in Norman as Bob Stoops' OC and he could continue to recruit the same places he did at Texas Tech. Moreover, he wouldn't have to completely overhaul the OSU offense since Holgorsen is already doing it for him this year. Plus, he could keep Holgorsen as his OC.
Most important, with sugar daddy T. Boone Pickens' wallet, the Cowboys would be able to pay Leach what the Pirate thinks he deserves. (According to Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, many insiders believe that Leach's tenure in Lubbock went downhill after contentious contract negotiations.)
If this were to happen I could not help but feel happy for Leach but at the same time sorry for Tech because he will throw everything he has at us everytime we play him. It could also finally boil over the rivalry that is starting to surface between Ok State and Tech.
