The Leach bitterness on this board is quite Amazing, Bizarre, & Very Traditionally Coug’Like in the end.

Nor is it bizarre but it seems odd that he wants to make being a Coug a Pejorative.I don't think this implies bitterness at all.
That is pretty awesome. Any other thoughts/notes from the event? I am annoyed I wasn't able to be there.

Equally weird are the amount of "reminder" posts about how great Leach was and how stupid we are for thinking that we'll ever be good without him.
Apart from a couple of trolls, I don't recall anyone on this site who was happy that Leach left. What has happened are some posters are now looking to the future, and pointing out areas that Leach and his staff weren't particularly good at. Hoping that we can build on the foundation that he left. Freshen the offense, revitalize recruiting, treat the job as a bigtime P5 opportunity and not a holding spot for a more coveted SEC post.
We should be forever grateful to Mike Leach for what he accomplished in Pullman and how he turned our program back around. At the same time, he should be forever grateful to WSU for getting him back in the P5 game. We paid him more money than we've ever paid a head coach, we left him alone and let Leach be Leach, we upgraded the facilities, and we WON. Another program would have eventually taken a chance on him, but who's to say it would have gone down the same way? Maybe he goes to Maryland and gets trampled by Big10 defenses? Maybe his QBs there aren't as good, or they get injured, and he limps to 6-6 or 5-7 finishes every year? He would have faced Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, and Michigan State every year in his division. That seems a bit more daunting than what he faced at WSU, with Oregon & Stanford programs that were declining. USC and UCLA tanking. The Arizona schools, OSU, Cal, and Colorado being mostly mediocre or worse. And Oregon State being awful.
Yes, WSU should be eternally thankful that Leach came to Pullman, but let's also never forget out how fantastically well WSU helped Leach at a time he desperately needed to prove what a great coach he is. Without his success at WSU, the SEC never comes a callin'. Maybe that happens at Maryland, maybe it doesn't.

Leach was a good employee who did his job and left for what he perceived as a better opportunity or fit for him at this stage in his career.
But that reality is construed as being 'bitter'.
Dang. He might get a suite at the home games.I think it was $25k.
Repeated whines about how Leach didn't donate to the school could be construed as bitter.
I've been to quite a few of these things. Most of the coaches/ luminaries make a public donation, including CPW and CML.
Yes. Portland too does raise the paddle at the event.I'll stand corrected if necessary- but last night was the first time in the Spokane event where they raised the paddles. Apparently they have done that in Seattle for years.
Go ahead and find those repetitions regarding Leach and any contribution. I’ll wait for those links.
To my knowledge this is the first and only inference. Now, you want to talk Bill Moos. All hat, no checky writey.
Wonder why they've "raised the paddles" during Cougar functions in both Seattle and Portland over the years, but not Spokane?I'll stand corrected if necessary- but last night was the first time in the Spokane event where they raised the paddles.

They have been doing paddle raises over there since the Wulff years, because there are actually money'd supporters over there.
Most of the deep pockets in Spokane are raising paddles at GU events, unfortunately.
Let's check back at the end of September.Simply pointing out the new coaching staff already exceeds expectations
Maybe Spokane fans won't even pony up for the paddles?Wonder why they've "raised the paddles" during Cougar functions in both Seattle and Portland over the years, but not Spokane?
Maybe the Spokane fan base is already carrying its weight in other ways?
How many times in this thread alone?

I’m pretty sure they raised the paddle the first year Leach was in Spokane but for some reason they stopped asking.
Chun is good at asking for money among other things.
Old Takes Exposed needs to save this thread.
Funny thing is, this popping off didn’t occur during the 11-2 season. Not until Leach left or went 6-7. Expect for CougEd & his nutty brother who were at least verbal about their Leach hating from Day 1.
“Traditional Cougs” are what Moos was always fighting against. This thread exposes them for who they really are.
Go Cougs
Go Rolo
Go Away Traditional Cougs

Just Like Sun Fish with a shiny golden hook with no bait needed.
Leach owned you two dumbasses & I enjoyed the entire ride at the expense of you Brothers
Simply pointing out the new coaching staff already exceeds expectations and Pat Chun is killing it from this poster’s perspective.
I don't understand how donating money is exceeding expectations?
But I need to see more out of Chun. I know I'm the minority in that thinking.
