USA today article just smashed Leach said he threw the players under the bus when...

[99jc]

all the blame goes on him. Never seen media or fanbase turn on a coach like a rabid Dawg as quick as this. I am usually the first one to trash a coach but i say hold up on this and see what the season brings. If he is as good a coach as i perceive he is we should see something different in Starkvegas next week. Hail State!

He didn't throw the players under the bus. He called attention to some that aren't doing what's necessary. Before he said it, he said the coaches have to do better too. The media is garbage.

Some media don't like him for his political views, plain and simple and want to see him fail.

Yawn. Most coaches are conservative. It's not like Leach is Tweeting photos of his wife and "MAGA" signs like a certain former coach we (including me) all liked.

You do know Mike Leach got on stage with Trump in a rally before the 2016 election right?

Yes, I have by far the biggest Mike Leach fanboy on the MSU message board scene for the last decade plus.

Exactly. And Leach is with the players every day, and knows who's pulling their share of the weight and who's not. The USA Today writer isn't there.

This 100%.

Media has always hated Leach!

Yep, its going to be bad when things aren't going well given neither Leach nor MSU has any friends in the national media.

Fake news.

When i read this i thought it was written by a liberal democratic

Joe Moorhead was a terrible leader. He didn't have the balls to get on the players asses or hold them to a necessary standard. He cultivated a terrible culture within our program. It's still seeping into it a little. And we fans have screamed fire people and belittled kids too much too.
This may or ma not work out. But we've reached a point we've got to let it play out instead of constantly demanding change. It's one thing to vent during and right after the games (I do it), it's another to want to burn it all down.

Might as well just get behind this hire and hope that it works itself out. We did a VERY non-MSU thing and pulled the trigger on a guy after 2 years even though he had a winning record. While I absolutely believe it was the right move, we have now paid off Morehead and have a coach in place with roughly a 20 million dollar contract (4 years @ 5mil). We used up our quick trigger on JoMo so Leach isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We better support him and the players as best we know how and keep our fingers crossed that he will get it fixed. I don't really see that we have an alternative and any other attitude is just cutting our nose off to spite our face.

Agree with all this and is exactly how I feel. Great post.
