Yankees, Patriots, Bama football fans complaining about "down years" is like Elon Musk complaining to a waitress that he didn't order that 3rd Old Fashion on his bill...just pay the $15 and stfu!Quote:

Well ... I guess Leach could've been like JoMo was with Guidry, Hill, etc. Always patting them on the back telling them how great they are, while Guidry is dropping wide-open 3rd down passes for 1st downs when Fitz hits him right between the numbers. And raving about Hill's big yards against weak teams while he's gaining zilch against really good defenses and letting Fitz get killed cause he won't/can't block LBs.
I don't think anyone gives a crap how leach talks to the team in private. I think the rub is doing it publicly.Quote:

I can see it a little both ways. I don't know that it's a huge thing IMO. And we don't know the full back story of how their practice habits are, how much the coach may (or may not) have helped them, etc.Quote:

ETA: Leach (or any coach) isn't going to be perfect in every press conference. Most of crap that's blown up real big really isn't that big. I could see Bear doing similar type thing. But that was way back before everything was so PC.
This is just not that big of a deal
Leach has made his pressers a big deal bc he's entertaining in them. More people watch bc of that, and bc more people watch, they become a bigger dealQuote:

I told y?all this was gonna happen the other night. You can?t be so short sighted. This will happen every time CML does this.
Funny how we're playing a lot better on offense and the narratives, arguments and responses change. I guess I should have invested in a goal post moving company.Quote:

If it were near as good as you proclaim, CML would have Saban?s resume. Bigger, better programs would use it. Don?t sell me that the item we found on clearance is the most coveted thing in CFB. 😂
Brother, I'm getting into an argument with you. I'm saying there are some folks on this board - several who are strangely absent recently - that have an agenda. That agenda was to stir up shit against Leach. That agenda got kicked the nuts. Once again, we were told by the "experts" on this board that we would not go bowling this season and that this offense would not work against SEC defenses.Quote:

Agreed. You're a D1 athlete in the most competitive conference in the country. If you can't stand criticism you're in the wrong place. Grow a pair and go make a damn 23 yard field goalQuote:
