Or maybe just out of touch with reality (a perfect fit at WSU) ?
Perhaps I am not reading this correctly. Here is a quote from his weekly press conference.
When asked about UW's youthful secondary Leach replied as follows:
"Well they're not as young as us, interestingly enough, I think they're doing pretty good. I think Washington's doing pretty good. Right here I've got senior, senior, senior, senior, senior, junior, junior, sophomore, freshman, sophomore, freshman. So I said senior a lot so I think they're doing just fine."
UW depth chart for the Apple Cup is as follows:
S 20 Kevin King. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . So.,6-3, 183, San Leandro, Calif.

That's why we have to always wait until next year when the better recruits can save the program.
The answer, always: Abundance!
BTW, who's OBK? Does he poast here?
"Well they're not as young as us, interestin'ly enough, I think they're doin' pretty good. I think Washin'ton's doin' pretty good. starboard here I've got senior, senior, senior, senior, senior, junior, junior, sophomore, freshman, sophomore, freshman. So I said senior a lot so I think they're doin' just fine."
The funny part is Leach seems to want to convince everyone that he has no idea how to coach up a young secondary like UW has.
Why would he do that?
Senior, Senior, Senior, Senior = A. Hudson, E. Hudson, Shelton, Kikaha
Senior, Junior, Junior = Timu, Shaq, Feeney
Sophomore, Freshman, Sophomore, Freshman = Ross, Baker, King, Jones
Lawyer by training (aka pathological liar) should have been an option for my original question. Thanks.
I didn't listen to the clip I just read the Cliff's note. So, I didn't see an acknowledgement of the question. Problem is, if you move away from the original question without addressing it, you can have a disconnect with your players and it can result in a much longer learning curve. This makes MUCH more sense given the recent article posted on CF.com.
Northwest ChampionshipHoover Cup inspirational ploy.Berating and scare tactics are more his style.
(BTW, props to the mod/developers). It actually told me Blackie had responded before I hit post). That is pretty cool.
You can call me a liar but I consider myself a Leach fan. Some of his (as well as coach Chiclet's) shortcomings drive me nuts because I think they can (and should) be better.

I have no idea what I'd do if I saw some fuckhead wearing that shirt.
I want to stuff one in a gas-filled mason jar and smash it on the skull of whomever approved the sale of that piece of shit.
Christ.
