Mike Leach was the subject of many coaching rumors this year, but it appears he’ll be staying put for the next five years, and he’s got close to 13 million reasons to celebrate. He’ll have a job on his hands next year with the losses of Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree, but I figure that offense will work against any defense not named Oklahoma.

It’ll be hard to stay in the national title talk next year; Texas returns McCoy and bunches, and Oklahoma will probably be everyone’s preseason No. 1 or No. 2. Couple that with the fact that Ok. State should be better, and the Big 12 will be a tough division to compete in.
