It's Leach who IS changing the so called "culture", but sometimes there needs to be some give and take to a certain degree. No way should some of you guys be blaming Mullen, he didn't have a probably with those players that he recruited and Leach has run off.
It's Leach's team and program now, let's hope he is correct and proves his style of Coaching will succeed at Msu.
In saying this, players have to step up and show leadership as well. No doubt the JoMo two year deal with what players he had was a huge disappointment. I also think JoMo's staff wasn't very good and I do think Leach has a better staff.
I'm just not sure about the let's tear everything down and start over, I would have rather seen more of adjustments to what players we Leach started out with. Don't get me wrong no doubt some needed "culling" but damn look at how many are missing now. 60 year old coaches don't seem to change unless you are Nick Saban.
