Leach, who has 23-years of coaching experience, hasn’t coached in two years.  He currently hosts college football talk shows for CBS College Sports and Sirius satellite radio. The 50-year-old coached for 10 seasons at Texas Tech where he had an 84-43 record.  Known for his pass offenses, Leach never had a losing season and took the Red Raiders to a bowl game every year.
