No.
37-3 to cal. He's a somewhat cool guy but an awful head coach. It just is.
yea, judge the dude by 1 17 up. that's the answer. always works, right?
must be the fat little girlfriends getting in his players heads.
What an awful take. Leach turned Texas Tech into a consistent winner (and it immediately became a bad program again once he left) and has now done the same to Washington State.
They had a 7-turnover meltdown last night, a weird, freaky, fluky performance. Of course they lost.
Hopefully this guy has a hangover this AM.
I always laugh at the love Mike Leach. He had 1 very good season at TT - and finished with a 84-43 record in 10 seasons in the no defense Big 12.
It took him 4 years to win at Wasu - and is 35-35 there. And having loses like this one against Cal in year 6. Year 6!! How will they ever expect to compete? I like the guy, but he?s Hal Mumme with an eyepatch and a sword.
I also wouldn?t exactly call Wasu terrible - they have PAC titles as recent as 1997 and 2002. They had a Croomlike coach right before Leech, so he is digging out of a hole. But it still took 4 years of digging.
No.
Leach had 10 good seasons at Texas Tech, making bowls in all 10 seasons and finished ranked 5 times at a program with little history. He finished 5-15 against Texas and Oklahoma when both were outstanding programs, which is as good as any coach did in the 00s.
To compare his predecessor at Washington State to Croom is an insult to Croom. Wulff went 9-40 in 4 years and routinely lost by 50 or more points. Croom sucked, but Wulff was MUCH worse. Leach had Washington State in a bowl in year 2 (I guess you just didn't research enough to know that) and 9-4 by year 4. Looks like Leach is going to have Washington State consistently ranked going forward, like he built at Texas Tech.
He's no Saban, but he's easily a top 10 coach in America. Hopefully he stays in Pullman (where he's a great fit) and doesn't end up coaching LSU, Tennessee, or Florida soon.
I think Leach is a good coach, but Cal came to play and wanted the win worst than apparently WS did. Cal played lights out. I wish OM could have caught that buzz saw last night. lol
Not the football guru many of you are but any coach who talks about his players little fat girlfriends is A OK in my book and I want him in the game to get the occasional video clips so I can laugh my ass off from time to time. I think it's high time for a Leachisms web site in fact. Even when he's not cursing or going totally off, he's just somebody I enjoy watching / listening to.
Dumb post of the year!! I'd go as far as to say if Dan left, leach would be in my top 3.
