Some decent stuff there, but throwing players under the bus in the first quote ain't a good look, but that's Mike, I guess.
Mike Leach will throw a player under the bus in a second.
Some of his most famous quips are about his players.
I have to ask. So if you coach up players and then they miss blocks, drop easy passes, Miss tackles, blow coverages, commit penalty after penalty, and they are 20+ year old men, you don?t think they should tote some blame?
I have never understood coddling players who continue to screw up. Should he just call them into the office and take their scholarship in private? Or maybe dressing them down in public will light a fire under their butt. Not one single failure by our Oline was on Leach. Not one missed assignment by the DBs was on Leach. Heck Bear Bryant would tell you how bad his players were before the game, let alone if they played poorly during one.
I didn't see a quote in there that threw players under the bus - his assessment of play was pretty spot on. It's not like he said "Player X is a **** up and his mistakes almost cost us a game."
I have a feeling the responses would be different if Dan made the exact same comments.Quote:
