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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This was all started by a tweet by Tyler Horka where he purposefully took Leach out of context. That guy needs his credentials pulled yesterday. He is a drama queen who knows nothing about the game of football.

    Ehhh, I guess. He was saying the same things early on for Moorhead too though. He was clearly wrong then, and only time will tell on leach.

    Mullen. They were not at all shy about their political leanings. (Which is why I completely disagree that people are after Leach because of his politics)

    Anything for clicks man, screw context, the media doesn't care anymore it's all about clicks and views, doesn't matter if it's a half truth.

    I gave Moorhead a little time myself. What drove me nuts fairly quickly on Moorhead was his PCs quoting bullshit stats to show how good we were when we weren't. That and how soft physically we became. Constantly patting the players on the backs too.

    Leach ain't making it look all rosy. He told it like it was and didn't toss individual players under the bus but let it be known that coaches ain't coaching up to par and players need to tighten up too. I don't think there will be much back patting going on this week. We're also in good shape physically. Last night was lack of effort or massive confusion by the offense more than anything else.

    Leach has a history of being successful. I'm not saying yet that he won't have to make adjustments but his biggest problem right now is QB. He ain't got one unless Rogers progresses rapidly. I don't think KJ gonna cut it.
