Pirate Ships And SeaPlanes: A Timeline of Mike Leach’s Visit To UW
Sager Bombs
As has been reported everywhere, Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach visited Seattle earlier this week to extort more money out of TTU and his real suitors interview for a UW coaching job he is very much interested in. The following is how he spent his day in the northwest.
9:00am: Arrival in SeaTac airport. Slight delay in baggage claim as his lucky samurai sword had to pass inspection.
9:45am: First stop is a visit to Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe. Leach asks if they do interior decorating.
11:00am: Leach requests a quick swing by Archie McPhee to pick up some new proposed helmet stickers.
12:40pm: Meeting with UW officials re: Husky Football Coaching Position. Said meeting consists primarily of discussion about the UW company seaplane, how one gets licensed to fly a seaplane, how far a seaplane can go on one tank of gas, and exactly how much seaplane access head football coaches have.
1:00pm: After being handed an informational packet on the Tacoma Tall Ships Festival, Leach drools for 30 minutes and asks if he can interview for the UPS football job instead. Interview over.
1:30pm: Leach wants to throw fish.
1:35pm: Leach is thrown out of the U-District QFC.
2:00pm: Time to go up and down the Space Needle, followed by quality time at Fun Forest. While riding the roller coaster for the 3rd time someone nearly recognizes him. Fortunately, Leach came prepared.
5:00pm: No one knows what happened the last 2 hours, but when he showed up at SeaTac airport Leach had a top hat, a flashing bouncy-ball, a picnic basket filled with ceramic skulls, a roast chicken on a stick, and seven pairs of baby shoes. All of this went into the same suitcase that held the samurai sword. Turns out that was the only thing in the luggage to begin with.
(In other words, I think we fucking nailed this interview with the man)

You beat me to this post. I was working on something similar.
If he went to the Shoppe, no doubt he stopped here: http://www.piratesplunder.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&page_id=18&CFID=12864986&CFTOKEN=49452315
Also, it’s important to make the disctinction, in the post Somali pirate era, that we are talking about cheeky, mischievous pirates and not the kind that hijacks super-tankers and takes them back to lawless pirate coves in the ungoverned Horn of Africa.
Surely our multitude of wonderous Pirate stores provides a great incentive for Leach to come coach here. Does it not?
And what of his desires to escape the religious persecution his polygamist brethren suffered at the hands of Texas authorities? I think he’s stockpiling pirate stuff because he thinks the monogamist mormons may be next.
I’m currently working on a novel where Seattle comes under Zombie attack and the last colony of man exists in the center of Lake Union. I think we just found a captain.
He could use the Kalakala as his ship-of-the-line. http://www.kalakala.org/images/Kalakala.jpg
That’s pretty fucked up that you would steal my movie pitch, hotdog, and try to claim it as your own. Write your own material.
Also when referencing Ye Olde Curiosity Shop it should be noted that the most infuriating thing about this store is that they don’t use stylistically consistent spelling with the word “Shop”.
I’m thinkin’ maybe I’ll change my mind and go wih the Scientologist.
rumor is leach is headed back to seattle for a second interview. Also rumored to be interested in auburn job.
I honestly can’t wrap my head around the fact that they fired tuberville. After what a tremendous success they’ve been the last 10 years.
YAR!
Tuberville’s debacle with his offensive coordinator and the spread offense was a classically botched scenario and was a mark of incompetent leadership. I would have fired him for that too.
He fired the guy midseason after the guy yelled at his assistants (who Tuberville would not let him bring in his own guys and replace), because said assistants didn’t understand the incredibly complex spread offense. Which Tuberville should have known they wouldn’t, because they weren’t the o-coordinator’s guys.

The O-Coordinator debacle didn’t help, but if Auburn has this season any year that Bama isn’t #1 in the BCS Tuberville probably gets another year. Horrible timing on his part.
The fortunate thing for us is that (and I’m suspending all belief here) if Leach is really interested in UW, Auburn can’t be all that tempting. It’s SEC small town, high pressure, not the biggest school in the state, and people will want immediate results.
We are the anti-Auburn.
I demand to know more about our interest in Venables. Defense baby, defense.
“Venables, now 65, has recently been linked in the media with the Republic of Ireland, Leicester City, Bulgaria, Iran, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur managerial jobs.”
No mention of us. Wait, you mean you weren’t talking about Terry Venables?
