I don't see Tech doing better coach wise than Leach, unless they plan to get to get Harbaugh

Harbaugh won't go to Tech. He's primed to take over a top flight program and Tech will ALWAYS play second fiddle to Texas while battling with A&M, Baylor, and TCU for that position.

Tech was shit before Leach and will now slide back into mediocrity. There is more to the story than just the James incident (who reportedly wanted out to SMU but wasn't given his release last year). The AD or president (not sure which one), has had it out for Leach for a few years now and was looking for any excuse to get rid of him, also saving 800,000 in bonus money in the process. This will cost Tech a lot in the end.

While I agree (and furthermore have heard he wants to stay at Stanford, presumably to keep fucking with Pete Carroll) If they throw enough money at him (which I doubt they will) they could make him cave. But since they won't they basically fucked themselves because whoever they get will be a downgrade.

Tech will not throw a large sack of cash to get Harbaugh and if they did it would likely have to exceed the 2mil a year that June Jones gets at SMU. Like I said, it is a second tier job and Harbaugh is destined for a helmet school and he knows this. Also, do you think administration that didn't want to re-sign a coach who had just finished an 11-1 season will go out and get a noise maker like Harbaugh? Hell no. This is a clear sign that they do not support the football program and will likely promote from within or go sign some bitch of a yes man that won't ruffle the feathers of the AD.
