Leach is a great players coach, imo. The fact that his methods aren’t aligned with today’s softer, progressive messaging rubs people the wrong way.
He’s a throwback coach. He runs a soft offense, but he’s an extremely tough, disciplined coach. Players are to work hard, go to class, dedicate themselves to the football team, and stay out of trouble. He’s in charge, and he doesn’t pretend otherwise. He also doesn’t pretend to like people. The fact that he’s politically conservative is something that he’s judged negatively for, which is really unfortunate.
I’d have no problem sending my boys to play for a coach like Leach.
