Is Mike Leach Slow or Just a Pathological Liar ?

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.
35 Brian Clay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jr., 6-1, 196, Vacaville, Calif.

S 32 Budda Baker. . . . . . . . . . . . . Fr., 5-10, 173, Bellevue, Wash.
9 Brandon Beaver…………… So, 6-0, 192, Compton, Calif.

CB 1 John Ross. . . . . . . . . . . . . . So., 5-11, 179, Long Beach, Calif.
31 Naijiel Hale . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Fr., 5-10, 171, Lakewood, Calif.
17 Travell Dixon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sr., 6-1, 195, Miami, Fla.

CB 26 Sidney Jones. . . . . . . . . . . . Fr., 6-0, 171, Diamond Bar, Calif.
3 Darren Gardenhire . . . . . . . . Fr., 5-11, 173, Long Beach, Calif.

    UW is always too young.

    That's why we have to always wait until next year when the better recruits can save the program.

    No one said young was bad. Guys have improved while Pete has kept us near our expectations. Next year should be solid there.

    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?

    Leach was speaking about the whole defense and not just the secondary.

    Senior, Senior, Senior, Senior = A. Hudson, E. Hudson, Shelton, Kikaha
    Senior, Junior, Junior = Timu, Shaq, Feeney
    Sophomore, Freshman, Sophomore, Freshman = Ross, Baker, King, Jones

    You should feel lucky he didn't say the starting UW DBs were the fibula and tibia.

    Okay, so he was asked about the secondary but quoted experience of the entire defense?
    Lawyer by training (aka pathological liar) should have been an option for my original question. Thanks.

    He's quite adept at giving a passing acknowledgement of the actual question that was asked, but answering his preferred version of the question.
    Agreed. Kind of like Skippy (atty, as well) but without the coaching ability.

    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.
