MIAMI We have good news and bad news for Mi si sippi State football Martin Fehervary Jersey players as the Mike Leach era inStarkville, Mi s., begins.The good news is two current NFL quarterbacks, one being in Bulldogs history and the other being a QB who played for Leach as recently as two years ago, are expecting the new Mi si sippi State coach to take the program to new heights offensively."The quarterback history at Mi si sippi State isnt exactly one of the richest there is," Cowboys QB Dak Prescott told Sporting News during Super Bowl week in Miami. "But being able to go over there and have the succe s I did and seeing some of the guys after me, Im excited about what Mike Tom Wilson Jersey Leach is going to come in and do with that."Added Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew: "Leach is a stud, man. Hes won everywhere he's been. He's the best at taking programs that arent traditional powers in their conference and turning them into just that. I think Mi si sippi State got a good one."MORE: The bad news: Bulldogs players especially the quarterbacks might be in for some long meetings if they don't take Minshew's advice.Minshew, of course, enrolled at Washington State for the 2018 season as a graduate transfer from East Carolina; the former Pirate wanted to play for the coach nicknamed "the pirate," and it was a good call. In Leach's famed air raid offense, Minshew in yards per game (367.6). His 468 completions, quite a jump from the 174 he completed the year prior at ECU,also ranked No. 1 in the country. The previously unknown pa ser on a national level finished fifth in 2018 Heisman Trophy voting, and the Cougars completed their first 11-win season in school history.Yet the production under Leach, Minshew said, came with an unwelcome time commitment."In meetings, his favorite thing is to have a captive audience," Minshew explained. "So if hes telling a story and he locks in on you, youre going to be T.J. Oshie Jersey there for about 30 minutes listening to a story about Key West (Florida) or some animal that nobodys ever heard of."In the quarterback room, when he walks in, everybody just has to turn Washington Capitals Jersey away, and at some point hell realize, 'OK, Im not talking to anybody. We gotta keep going.' Because otherwise youll be in there an extra hour."MORE: The storytelling is just part of the viral wonder that is the 58-year-old coach. His unique character, seemingly drenched in a couldn't-care-le s-what-anyone-thinks mentality (which is sometimes good and sometimes bad), is part of the reason to see him in the high-profileSEC West.Another source of eagerne s is the fact that Mi si sippi State hired Leach about a month after rival Mi si sippi hired Lane Kiffin, another coach who's prone to viral moments. Now all of the sudden the Egg Bowl is must-watch TV on a national level."Thats a state that cares so much and football is so deeply rooted," said Prescott, who as a senior at MSU in 2015 became the second QBin school history (Billy Stacy, Dennis Maruk Jersey 1956-57) to earn consecutive All-SEC first-team honors. "In a state without an NFL team, its divided. Youre either Mi si sippi State or Ole Mi s, and it means so much to the state and both schools."With Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin, everything that theyve done, being part of that game is going to make it more special."
