10:13 AM ET 03.18 | Although he may be a bit biased, Texas Tech coach Mike Leach believes Graham Harrell is the best quarterback in next month's NFL draft. Leach, who scoffs at the system-quarterback label, angrily talked about NFL teams' concern regarding Harrell's ability to work from under center. "You bring up easily the most pitiful NFL cop-out of all," Leach said in a telephone interview. "And you can send that message to the whole NFL. Any coach who has ever said or uttered those words or considers that a concern, here's my message for them: How could you possibly look yourself in the mirror and consider yourself an NFL coach and not be able to teach a guy to run back three steps, five steps and seven steps? I can teach a child that! "Any coach in the NFL who can't do that ought to be fired!" And Leach wasn't done. "I can do that," Leach said of teaching a quarterback to drop back. "I only need a three-hour window. I'll have a great clinic for all the NFL coaches who are so horrible that they can't teach a guy to take a snap under center and go backwards."
