Understanding the situation is one thing but that won't explain walking away in the middle of a season when the defense your leading is reeling. I hope he lands on his feet.
A little more on Claeys
- Thread starter dgibbons
- Start date
I doubt it happened, Halliday is embellishing 3rd hand bull#hit.
Lame attempt to get attention, create controversy.
Nusser still cant forgive leach for not voting for Hillary.
seriously man, what other comment mentions politics ?
seriously man, the writer mentioned has an ax to grind with Leach and according to him-much of it has to do with "politics"
Oh I'd say you work in a political comment fairly frequently. Can't remember what thread it was but there was some comment about a "liberal jagoff". If that's your thing, fine, but I think most people that read these threads enjoy not seeing politics dragged into their football.
you cant recall ? sounds like youre getting triggered rather easily.
its not like I linked *ussers comments about burning his copy of Swing Your Sword because Leach said something positive about the president.

No, just want to read about football, not some political bullshit that doesn’t belong here by conservative jagoffs. See what I did there?
My opinion is the writer in question has an ax to grind with Leach over his support for Trump, and that's based on his own comments saying as much.
If you don't like it don't read my posts or put me on ignore putz.

FWIW, Dave Emerick said Darcel and Claeys were still texting and it's unfortunate there are false narratives out there.
Connor Halliday can go back to dreaming about driving his white BMW and stop spreading gossip.

I'm surprised Theo/Spokesman would put Halliday's comments in print. He was a player and has every right to express his opinions on the situation and offer "insight" around what he's hearing. However he's talking almost as if he was in the room and was a witness to what was going on inside the program. End of the day most of his thoughts were simply his view on things.
Leach on Halliday:
We are never really going to know what went down other than Claeys decided to move on. I don't think the "shock" when he resigned expressed was an act but again who knows?

This hardly the first time a coordinator leaves or is fired mid-season. But the Cougar reporters are covering it like it is monumental.
Mike Stoops either resigned or was fired (depending on who you believe) mid-season last year and OU was 5-1 at the time.
Les Miles is now on his 3rd Offensive Coordinator and he has not even been at Kansas a full season.

Well they did recently change the whistleblower laws to allowing 2nd hand info to be gospel.
It is out of the ordinary behavior, that is why it is covered. When it comes to stuff like this I have found in my world the truth is somewhere in between.
It wouldn't surprise me if Leach never saw it because he is working with the QB's and the offensive unit. (again that is assuming their was philosophical problems on the field. I am not even sure the players would see it unless there was a shouting match as coaches often stand around and confer.
At the end of the day it turned out to be a bad fit. A DC that is use to more conservative football from a conservative conference.
Kids are resilient and I am sure they aren't shaken because TC left. They are just going to go out and perform to the best of their abilities.
Trust me, even if you and others see this as a huge negative, and the papers and sources don't sweep it under the carpet, it does not do anything to WSU football long term. It doesn't make Leach look bad, it was just one of those cases coaches are on a different page.
Can you imagine how Connor is feeling about this? Lead sports story in The Seattle Times and The Spokesman Review. All over the internet. You gotta think he feels bad for saying something. Sounds like it was a rumor and not true. Who knows....but I'm sure Connor feels awful for starting something that almost everyone is discussing.
The story just blew up.

Good point. I've thought about that too. It also could be the lack of recruiting the right guys on Defense at this level, that's caused Claeys to resign. We probably will never know, and you're right.....most likely it's a combination of everything.
Do you really think he feels bad. Dude tossed Kerosene on the fire, stood back and watched it burn. How do I think Beavis feels about this? He has always been self centered. I am of the mindset he is thinking "bad press is still press"
Who was his HS coach.Do you really think he feels bad. Dude tossed Kerosene on the fire, stood back and watched it burn. How do I think Beavis feels about this? He has always been self centered. I am of the mindset he is thinking "bad press is still press"
Nussers horrible but if you enjoy his scribbling
Have at it
No triggered is what happens to snowflakes
Its why we have safe spaces

Trumpers are literally the biggest snowflakes walking around. Constantly crying about news they don't like because they are gullible enough to vote for a failed businessman who has more bankruptcies than Paul Wulff has conference wins.
Not really into politics sorry
Take your whining somewhere else

I doubt he feels bad about his comments, now he gets to go on the podcast next week and tell his side of the story. It's been a great attention grabber for him. Probably doesn't matter to him he trashed the reputation of Darcel McBath at an insubordinate coach.
The response from the hosts as Connor was napalming this was one of shock. You can see how this has divided up the fan base. We don't know what happened with Tracy, only that it was strange circumstances. But now we will have the fan base taking sides in an irrelevant conflict.
Emrick said it best when he said Connor isn't as connected as he likes to think he is. Are defensive staffers who weren't here when he was going to run to a known head case with dirty laundry? Probably not. So why are we taking anything he says about the inner workings of the team as newsworthy?

All because the Spokesman ran with it. Yep. If you think about it, Theo lit the fire and created unnecessary drama.
Must have nothing else to write about. Suppose if we were winning, he would write about something positive.

I think Cultcenter and Clickbait hit this one quickly. Plus they had more inflammatory headlines.
Clickbait: Yowsers. Halliday says Claeys and McBath had toxic relationship which led to resignation.
Cultcenter: Halliday revealed on (podcast) power struggle lead to Claeys resignation.
Theo: tweeted out a bunch of Halliday quotes.
I took Theo's work as reporting on what was being said without throwing his opinion into the mix and giving a hot take (which the other blogs did.
Scott handled the situation best by simply retweeting Theo.
Frustrating that Halliday continues to throw balls to the other team 5 years after he graduated...
His performance against OSU in 2013 is the biggest meltdown I've ever seen from a QB, ever.
