Title: Coach Mike Leach Comments About His Senior Players Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 11, 2012, 09:46:29 AM The guy tells it like it is, even when it hurts.
Quote Mike Leach‘s hiring at Washington State earlier this year was widely hailed as a turning point for the moribund football program. Six games into a tenure that injected some much-needed new life into the fan base, the Cougars have just two wins — one of those against an FCS school — with an offense that, statistically, lags behind last year’s four-win squad. At a press conference earlier in the week, Leach took the opportunity to publicly lambaste some, but not all, of the seniors he inherited from the lost Paul Wulff regime. http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/10/leach-wazzu-seniors-zomblie-like-have-empty-corpse-quality/related/ (http://www.bruceongames.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/another-pirate.png) Title: Re: Coach Mike Leach Comments About His Senior Players Post by: pmull on October 11, 2012, 09:58:56 AM Coach Saban had similar things to say during his first year at Alabama. A team has to buy in to the new coaches system. Some players, mostly seniors, don't want to put in the work to learn a new playbook and prove themselves all over again to the new staff. Leach is an odd duck but I think in time he will do a good job at Wash State.
