Watch Coach Leach's press conference after the Cal game and
Watch the CL's press conference after those 2 games. We defiantly did lose to uw. Make no mistake about that. If Coach Leach says we shouldn't of lost a certain game...does that make us myopic for believing hi.?
Leach is like a lot of headstrong personalities: he'll never admit fault. And while I do believe the Air Raid is a good fit for WSU, he needs to tweak it and continue recruiting better athletes. We've been in contention for the Pac-12 north three years running, and I think we'll make a go for it again in 2019, but his stubborness is a flaw. Our more athletic QBs will simply have to ignore him as much as possible.
I think he just doesn't want them hurt. He knows when you run with a QB you run that risk of them going down.
I think we will be just fine as we continue to upgrade the players over time.
I think this incoming class is one of the best we have coming in, and we are gaining a reputation as a program that can win. You just have to keep grinding it out. Our offensive line depth is getting better, our RB stable is getting better, our WRs are transitioning (I honestly think the turnover we have had for WR coaches finally caught up to us this year we have had a new WR coach almost every single year, that hurts WR recruiting)
If only a season were two games, you would be right. But, the season is 13 games. Cherry picking two halves is not a real argument.
2003 Doba was the head coach. This is the highest sustained offensive success that the program has ever had under a coach. Only someone who wants to complain and tear down Leach would argue otherwise.
Now this I agree with, particularly the issues with the WR staff. And I don't know if that's turnover, lack of experience (remember of the top 6 we played this year 4 of them were true frosh or 2nd year players), or if what we have now just isn't what we had before.
Haze, thanks for visiting. You are most welcome to return. Congrats to MSU on the win. Regardless of what help your team may have had from our team, your team did what it was supposed to do and earned the win.
Like most boards, we get our share of visitors without a real life (even a few "members" fit that description) that relish the opportunity to rehash old grievances, insult each other, etc. The rest of us pretty much just have to learn to live with it. The comment that we don't have RB's who could carry the ball 20 times per game is typical of the meatheads, but I'm sure you see that on the MSU boards from time to time, as well.
As to your question regarding Leach; my anecdotal evidence suggests that something like 80-85% of those who are aware that football exists and know anything about the sport and the Coug history in the sport are not just happy, but also relieved, that we have Leach. 5-10% would not be happy if the Archangel Gabriel was the head coach, and the remainder had personal relationships of some sort with previous HC's or their staff. The comments in this string regarding TT fans wishing they still could complain about Leach and the 8-9 win seasons is right on target. I know several of those guys, and every one would take Mike Leach back in a heartbeat.
It should also be noted that prior to Bill Moos we had not had a reasonably competent AD since the late '70's. The best of those guys during that time period could be charitably considered to be adequate. That should explain a lot in terms of our football issues over that time.
Finally, though I don't often fully agree with Cougtron, his first post is pretty accurate.
Please visit again and good luck next year. MSU and WSU (from an academic and campus standpoint) are far more similar than they are different, and you guys deserve respect for more than just your football team.

talk about Leach being too stubborn, how about the well known poster who is still trying to prove his assertion that "Leach isn't going to get it done"? Now THAT'S stubborn.
30% of the fan base thinks Paul Wulff got a raw deal and/or would be happy to have him come back
Well then..I guess if we end up scheduling a good defense, we might as well pack and go home.
In 92 the Huskies were coming off a co national championship and was #1 most of the season and we best them 42-23.
Spin it however you want, but passing he ball every damn down isn't going to get it done against a good defense...or een a mediocre one like UA when we passed the ball 70 times in little more than half a game.
Put the kneepads away Tron.
