MIKE LEACH ALERT

I usually enjoy a good, off the wall Mike Leach rant, but I have to say I lost a lot of respect for him a couple of weeks ago when he called his players "fat, dumb happy and entitled".
Was that really much worse than his "fat little girlfriends" rant back in the day?
Figured some of us Mike Leach fans around here would appreciate this.
Honestly seems like a fair question. One minute Leech wants to say recruiting rankings don't matter, the next he wants to use it as an excuse for getting owned by his rival school yearly.
The guy's tone and the way he led Leech down that path shows me he really wasn't asking a genuine question.
I will say if every coach just sat there and took responsibility for it all (whether they believed they were at fault or not) like Campbell does, it'd save them a lot of grief.
That program has fallen off quickly. Think their fans thought this is where they'd be after a 10-3 season a year ago? College football is a fickle beast
Seems like all he could have said was coaches need to coach better otherwise it makes it sound like he's blaming the kids for not being good enough. He probably should have just taken the blame and moved on but it is funny giving it back to the media when they rarely take any heat themselves.
He could of taken the high road but who knows how many bad or stupid questions that guy has asked over the years.
Some of those twits in the media really get their jollies though when a coach rips into them even when they deserve it though. I can see Pandy getting chewed out and then having no idea that someone was actually upset him.

"SEATTLE – Sometime in the second half of Friday’s Apple Cup, a Fox camera zeroed in on a couple in the stands, the female decked out in Husky purple, the male in all Coug attire.
Now, maybe they were just next-seat neighbors. But the facial and body language made it look as if she was taking his sorry butt to Dump City – or at the very least giving him a little dose-of-his-own-medicine mansplaining.
Surely by Saturday morning, a creative editor will have a version on social media with their faces replaced by those of Chris Petersen and Mike Leach, likely with a caption along the lines of, “It’s not me, Mike. It’s you.”
Boy, is it ever you."
First couple of paragraphs of the article. Uhh yeah this reporter is a tool.
