I have posted this a couple of times and no one seems to respond to this. I direct this to most of the Kill haters out there.
Kill was the best person who had true interest in the job and that is not a slight on the Gophers team. Several of our coaching candidates turned down other jobs. Now if you want to be upset about Leach I don't blame you as I also am.
But there must be more to Leach that we don't know because this guy still doesn't have a job. He hasn't even interviewed to my knowledge. If he doesn't have a job starting next year then you know there is more to it than we know.
1.) Troy Calhoun - Comfortable at his Alma Mater. Took his name out of the Colorado race and turned down Tennessee last year.
2.) Al Golden - took his name out of the Vanderbilt gig. Looks clear he is fine with the money and winning at Temple while waiting for Jo Pa to retire and his chance at the Penn State job
3.) Brady Hoke - Its clear the interest in Minnesota wasn't the same in Minnesota's interest. He used the Gophers as leverage for more money from SDSU.
4.) Randy Edsall - Who would want to leave the Big East? Honestly, he has a less than mediocre team, not even in the top 25 AP or BCS polls and he is going to a BCS game. Hard to convince a guy who only knows easy winning to come to a much more competitive (about to become even more) Big 10.
5.) Mike Bellotti - Took his name out of the Colorado running. Happy not coaching at the moment
6.) Jim Harbaugh - his next job is in the NFL or Michigan. End of Story
7.) Gary Patterson - Going to a BCS game and is about to join an easy to win in Big East, would you want to leave?
8.) Chris Petersen - successful team moving to a new conference. Also probably scared to leave Boise after seeing what has happened to former Bronco coaches after they left the friendly confines of Boise Idaho.
9.) Phil Fulmer - old, no ties to the mid-west. Didn't make a lot of sense, doubt we will see him coaching anywhere else soon.
10.) Randy Shannon - This one you can be a little upset about as well. He had interest, if you liked him then you may have a beef.
11.) Jeff Jagodzinski - he apparently interviewed. Do you think he is better than Kill? I do not.
12.) Marc Trestman - apparently never contacted. How bad would everyone want to burn down the entire campus if he was hired?
13.) Paul Chryst - No thank you, clearly a better candidate than Kill
14.) Larry Fedora - I would rather have Kill honestly, what about you?
15.) Dan Mullen - Would of came but we weren't about to give up 5 mill for him and his staff. Clemson spends some top money in college football and they don't even spend 5 million on coaches and staff.
There are more to mention, but none that had obvious interest or interviewed.
