I love Leach. Stanford would never hire him. I think he could make Cal a national power. He however is too quirky for the type of person who owns an NFL team.

Tennessee (U, not the Titans) wanted him BAD. Of course their HC search was a dumpster fire and they screwed it up.

Oh, and OF, FWIW I mostly agree with you. However I don't think this is a full-time shift to a pass-first attack. Coaches adjusted to a beat-up line by pass blocking more (harder to win at the point of attack when you're dealing with nagging injuries). You could see it in the uninspired pass scheming (If there even WAS pass scheming) - they weren't expecting to pass so much. At all. We ran like the same 5 pass plays all season.

I saw some nice (attempted) wrinkles in the screen game, but it wasn't convincing.
