Leach replaces Joe Moorhead who spent two years in Starkville. Leach complied an 84-43 record at Texas Tech in 10 seasons in Lubbock & was most recently in Pullman coaching the Washington State Cougars to a 55-47 record in 8 seasons.

Leach adds his name to a conference that is already stacked with great head coaches. Him & Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss just made the Egg Bowl 10 times more exciting.
