He blamed the coaches as well.I did want to add that when I watched the game, my opinion was that the #1 cause of the loss was because ×ÉÉ so thoroughly out-coached Leach. ×ÉÉ had an incredible game plan, they executed their game plan extremely well, and Wazoo did not adapt to what was happening.
I don't think it's appropriate or professional for a coach to mostly blame the students, especially when it's his fault, and although severe criticism may work for some people, *public* shaming is generally viewed as an ineffective and inappropriate treatment of students.
×ÉÉ sent pressure packages Wazoo was unprepared to handle. ×ÉÉ exploited Falk's tendency to hold onto the ball too long. ×ÉÉ exploited Falk's recklessness/gunslingeriness. (Faults that have been longstanding and should have been coached). ×ÉÉ adjusted to Wazoo's stemming and blitzing schemes and made them pay for it so much Wazoo largely just stopped trying it.
Leach's take? His players sucked.
