A New Year's Wish from BOTC

Snyder tells him to check his ego at the door!

1. He’s a major prick.
2. His ego is so huge that he sometimes won’t do what is best for his team or the school.
3. His coaching style is the antithesis of Snyder’s. Snyder works hard to build a team. Hell, he builds a family. He gets the most out of his players because he brings them together to make them want to work hard for him and for his teammates. Leach is more of a Mangino-type coach who prefers to break his players down, humiliate them and lead by forced submission.

Leach is an excellent offensive tactician. He’s a great guy to have in the office writing the playbook and in the booth during the game tweaking the gameplan. But I don’t want him as the head coach of the K-State Wildcats…ever.

I would love to have Leach as an OC, but the chances of Pirate Captain Crazy letting Snyder control his every move would be slim to none.

what would re really have to lose….top notch talent that would want to play in that offense and a OC/HC of the future that would get to learn how to be a “family style” coach under one of the few true class acts in D-I…he kept Mangino, Stoops (Bob and Mike),and Jim Leavitt in line while they were under him at KSU. I don’t really view the Pirate’s personality as being any more volitale than those former assts..

Mike Leach Interview

Also, check out these emails published in the Dallas Morning News. There are two sides to this story. Leach may be odd, or different, or strange, or whatever adjective you want to throw out, but he’s not an asshole. He had an entitled player with a meddling parent and an administration that wanted him gone. Perfect recipe for what happened.

Much thanks to SB Nation also for this editorial on the subject. Read and listen to all this. If you still think Mike Leach is an asshole who is unfit to coach at K-State, then we’ll agree to disagree and go on our way.
