[@ChristoFreeze]

A lot of truth to your post. However, he's crossed the line before, but no more than Bob Knight. He's a no nonsense, says what he feels, leader, but that can hurt you. Really great leaders know you CANNOT get the best out of your team coaching them all the same way. Great leaders have a toolbox that has many different ways to get the best out of people. Some need it direct and hard, some need the, " you did a great job running routes today, next week I want you working to be as good at blocking downfield." Some people do not react well to a constant barrage of, "You played like shit', some do. Know your team and know how to get the best from all of them. If he took a DISC assessment I know he would be 99.9% D and that's what stops him from greatness. Managing by fear or applied tension has never been sustainable. Just my 2¢ worth nothing

[@drewc8534]

I love it. A no bullshit kinda coach that gives the credit where it's due and accepts no excuses.

[@joshcollins8727]

Leach' s offense was instrumental in winning the National Championship for Oklahoma back when he was OC under Bob Stoops. then he got the coaching gig at Texas Tech and resurrected the Red Raider Football program, and became a contender in the BigXII. at one time Mike Leach was the hottest coach in the country

[@MrAKMacKAY]

and once again he's the hottest coach in the country...

[@kennyramsey645]

Yea that SEC defense would stop it crap. Well people forget he was OC at Kentucky for 2 seasons and set 4 NCAA records, 42 SEC records (After Spurrier's offensive tear) and 141 school records. If Leach ever found himself at a above average school he would be nearly unbeatable.

[@TylerDurden9LB]

Yup, he was there under Coach Mumme with Tim Couch slinging it all over the yard.

[@Hugeroost]

@Tyler - Tyler, he would have to learn to play defense at Miami, as an OC he would kill it though

[@hellawaits77NY]

[@atlhoe564]

⁠@@BAKER22-l4u​​⁠That shit doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Winning isn’t everything. Leach was a conscious, relatable, and real coach who was pretty great while Saban is a fucking robot. All he cares about is winning. Leach wasn’t worried about losing his job the next day. He changed the game forever with his offensive innovations and strategic antics. Super intelligent too. Leach was one of a kind as an overall coach, Saban is only good in the winning aspect. Overall he’s pretty generic. He’s also a real asshole. There will never be another Leach, while there’s been plenty of Saban’s before Saban and there will be plenty after him.

What some people do not realize when you continually misuse these labels just cuz you don’t like the way people say things, you weaken the label ( misogynist). Everyone who says things you do not agree with does not need a label. Was what he was saying a lie or the truth? If it’s a lie let’s label him dishonest, if what he is saying is the truth accept it. Instead of Demonizing the person who had the courage to be honest.

The concept of winning is so capitalistic and dehumanizing. Players need to feel their worth as humans. If they are made to feel uncomfortable when they are too tired to play well, or perhaps aren’t in the mood to, that could be damaging to them. Instead of scolding them, the coaches should be telling them how good they were last year. Happy people do better. They need more days off and a less strenuous schedule. They also need more rap sessions and feel-good meetings These conservative coaches could use some sensitivity training.
