"The people who are supporting him, it's not just one or two," an unnamed source told the Avalanche-Journal. "It's like a hoard of people and maybe eight or 10 that are like million-dollar-plus donors. It's some serious folks." https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/texas-tech-coaching-search-mike-leach-denies-interest-dana-holgorsen-not-a-potential-target/ Some real businessmen at TT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think really the only way you see a coach go back somewhere is if they left on their own terms (retiring, going to a perceived better job). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most amazing part is that we still have people that can’t admit it was a horrible mistake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve mentioned before how ASU brought back Frank Kush and he raised millions of dollars for them. People loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
