Could be why I never listened
I could never listen to Canzano.

Andy Avalos is already being mentioned as a possible replacement (one of several) at Washington State.

The video appears to have been made on December 19, 2019. Would Avalos' opinion change if there was a head coaching position open?

Like I said before . . .

Nooooo!

I agree 100%, Pete!

I'd like to see what Kellen Moore could do at wsu.

Interesting. Kellen Moore was rumored to be a top candidate for the OC position at Washington. It was announced a couple of hours ago that he decided to stay with the Dallas Cowboys. I wonder if he would reconsider leaving Dallas for a head coaching position in Pullman.

Yeah, he didn't slam the door shut but it does seem that he would have to have a pretty sweet deal to move. I think almost ANY assistant coach is leaving the door open to a HC gig. They'd be foolish not to. I don't think Avalos just bolts for the first HC job presented to him unless he gets a sweetheart deal.

I have contended as I posted on OLive many times, I think a key reason for the slip in the Pac-12 is because it is most tenured head coaches(Petersen, Leach, Shaw, Whittingham and perhaps Helton) have delivered how many "big wins" in the last 3-years whether bowl games or out of conference games? Games where the entire country took notice? Oregon / Cristobal have not been a drag on the conference even in losing to Auburn. Rather the big boys have not stepped up in big games. Now we are at a point where the conference will have 9 head coaches hired within the last 4-years. Hopefully these coaches, well besides Cristobal, will start to deliver on a larger scale. Go Ducks!
At least no one can say college football is boring in the Pac-12.

PAC 12 got a lot less interesting with Leach gone. Those press conferences could be a riot.

C'mon. We don't know who WSU will pick to replace Leach. We don't know who Cristobal will pick to replace Arroyo. We don't know who Lake will pick to replace Hamden.

Dang! There's a lot of things we don't know . . . WSU may not choose someone as distinctive as Leach . . . but, I have to admit, it's pretty darn interesting right now.

One good thing about it. Once or twice a year, the Air Raid will be on fire and someone in the SEC West is going to have a bad-looking loss on their record. Leach has always had a win or two every year that you say, "How did they do that?" He gets his guys to play and his system isn't sustainable for a perfect record over a season but it does get you some eye-catching wins.

Within a couple years he'll be, not consistently but often enough, putting a blot on the record of Alabama, Auburn, LSU, aTm. That will make me happy.

It will also make me happy that he won't be doing it to Oregon. I'll miss him doing it to USC, though. That was pretty cool.

Too funny. K Goe takes another shot at M Leach. Curious to see if he still goes after the coach in future seasons even though he is no longer in the P12.

I think Leach is going to have a tough time at MS, his O worked in the PAC because of weak D's and in general bad pass defenders.Hes basically in a similar position down there as he was here but playing against more experienced coaches and better depth. I wish him luck though, but I wonder how southern folks are going to handle his personality. I give him 2 years there at most.

He really did have them over a barrel. I read the litany of articles that Ken linked to today--goodness, the man is insufferable. I recall Jim Rome's slavering fanboy approach to dealing with Leach, and it always rubbed me the wrong way. He lost to FCS schools, couldn't win the Apple Cup, had a DC quit in the middle of last year, and treated the WSU media like dirt. It sounds like he had worn out his welcome, and now he ditches the University having traded one eleven-win season for all of that debt.

Bright offensive mind, but not a very good guy...

LOL, on some days i have a lot of windshield time and the radio will land on Canzano's Clown Show. it's a painful listen, but he's such a needy, self-absorbed, ego maniac that it's also sort of fascinating....

I agree. I don't see Leach's style working well at Mississipppi State . . . however, he could bring a whole new meaning to 'Southern Hospitality."

It could be entertaining to watch from thousands of miles away.
