This is a perfect landing spot for Mike Leach's team philosophy, and for the rest of us in the CFB world as well.
Leach's teams were never a threat to "win it all". They're too high risk / high reward to ever threaten the kind of perfect record needed by a non-helmet school to garner much hardware. They're just as likely to trip over a small potato as they are to knock off the kings.
But it's precisely the ability to knock off the kings that made him a hero in Lubbock. The Red Raider fans would live with a loss to a directional school so long as there was a shot at beating the Texas's or OU's. His "always be scoring" mantra made it possible.
Let him go blow up some LSU or 'bama seasons for awhile!
