Tough to Follow Leach

The firing of Mike Leach means Texas Tech will now have one of the toughest jobs in college football.
They've got to find a coach that can keep the Red Raiders at the same level Leach got them to over the past 10 years.
That won't be easy.
The Red Raiders had become one of the most feared teams in college football over the last decade.
You never knew what to expect from Tech. They might beat you by a bunch or lose on any given day.
That's why they scared other Big 12 teams. You never knew what would happen when you played the Raiders.
Sure, Tech tired of the constant craziness of Leach. However, the Raiders will have a hard time replacing his victories.
And, his craziness.

If Tech can get a coach that will also run the ball, they will be fine. Leach put them on the map for Texas recruting. They will be like OSU and will play the role of spoiler for OU and Texas every once in a while.
