Mike Leach, head football coach for Texas Tech, is known as an offensive genius. If you look at the current AP polls (11/7/2008), Texas Tech is number 2 in the nation. I always wonder "How does one man/coach bring a team from obscurity to National prominence?".
I am always searching for insight as to how coaches turn programs around. Last night, I was watching a college football game in which he was being interviewed. During that interview, he said this, "Anyone can give incredible effort".
Does Texas Tech have better athletes/football players than every college football team in the nation except for Alabama (the current #1)? The answer to that question is a resounding "no" when you compare them to the likes of Georgia, Florida, USC, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Penn State, Ohio State, and the list goes on...
Is it possible that Texas Tech is not number 2 in the nation right now because they have the best athletes, but rather because Mike Leach and the Texas Tech coaching staff is getting the most out of their players? Could it be because the Texas Tech players are sold on what Coach Leach said "Anyone can give an incredible effort!".
