Mike Leach ready to ‘purge’ some players from Mississippi State program

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 10/11/20

Mike Leach might be ready to make some big changes to the Mississippi State program after his Bulldogs got embarrassed in a 24-2 loss to Kentucky in Lexington on Saturday night.

Leach’s Bulldogs scored on a safety in the third quarter. Other than that, they were shut out. The two points were the fewest in Leach’s head-coaching career, which is no surprise considering his reputation for being an offensive wizard.

After the game, Leach said he was ready for a “purge.” He wants players on the team who want to play for Mississippi State.

"We're going to have to check our group and see who really wants to play here."
