MIKE "***N" LEACH

I enjoyed watching the replay of that embarrassment to UCLA. The aspect that is never emphasized is that the entire team is frail via that style of play. You can see the fragility transferring from one side of the ball to the other. For example, even after UCLA scored to take a 67-63 leas there was still nearly a minute remaining. Plenty of time to threaten, given how that game was going, and UCLA's level of defense.

Not even close. Leach's weakling offense was attacked and destroyed on the first play, resulting in a sack and lost fumble. The commentators were emphasizing that UCLA had not threatened the quarterback all game...until it mattered
 
Mike Leach rips 'fat, dumb' Washington State players after loss


SALT LAKE CITY -- Washington State coach Mike Leach has never been one to hold his thoughts.

After two tough losses, including a 38-13 thrashing by No. 19 Utah on Saturday night, Leach let loose on his feelings about his team and its performances, describing the Cougars as "fat, dumb, happy and entitled."

Washington State entered its conference game against the Utes (4-1 overall, 1-1 Pac-12) as the No. 1 passing team in the country. After WSU failed to play like a No. 1-ranked passing team, Leach said the Cougars (3-2, 0-2) believed they were better than they actually are.


"We're a very soft team," Leach said. "We get a lot of good press. We like to read it a lot. We like to pat ourselves on the back, and if we get any resistance, we fold."

The postgame outburst was similar to the last time his Cougars lost to Utah in 2012. WSU fell 49-6 that day, and Leach sent his entire offensive line to the postgame news conference to answer questions.

He wasn't any kinder this time around.

"I think we've got a bunch of free agents running around there that think they're pretty special, and then as soon as something doesn't go their way, they want to pout," Leach said.

A week ago, WSU disintegrated in a 67-63 loss to UCLA in which it squandered a 32-point third-quarter lead. On Saturday, the Cougars surrendered 526 yards to a Utah team that didn't even throw a pass in the fourth quarter.

"We weren't even close," Leach said. "I think that at some point they have to embrace the effort themselves."

Leach being Leach. Calls it like he sees it.

What's Leach's excuse for getting teabagged by a team that was in the Mountain West at the beginning of the decade? Still too difficult to win at Wash State?

Pretty hard to recruit there it's in the middle of a cold as **** place in the middle of nowhere. I doubt Saban would win there.
