I don't think there is anyone on this site that particularly likes Leach. I do think people recognize the fact that he is a pretty effective football coach. After all he beat us four years in a row, and I don't think anyone would argue Wazzu had superior talent to us during that time.

You don't need superior talent when you play dink-and-dunk football against a prevent defense with a bad pass rush.

Leach has gotten away for a long time with saying and doing what he wants without particularly caring if people get offended or not. Perhaps this is his wake-up call.

Have to agree with BC. He has had decades of "wake-up calls." It ain't happening. In fact, I'd bet a bunch of Mississippi State faithful LOVE him for his "non-apology" to what they deem the "PC police."

Leach is a horse's patoot for sure, and I've never been a fan of him coaching at Stanford.

But let me ask you this:  do you really even think the notion of lynchings in the south crossed his mind when he made his attempt at virus humor?  I do not.  Should it have?  Maybe.  But if you have no history in the south, and are not prone to think along lines that "a noose" = "lynching," then I find it not all surprising.  Not having a "sage, world view" about all things/issues - especially not one that comports with your own "sage ,world view" - is not a big offense in my book.
Snorlax evidently begs to differ.

Put it this way:  I'm more tweaked that Stanford has lost to Leach and WSU four years in a row (could easily have been 5), even though WSU's talent was below Stanford's.  I could give a rat's ass that Leach has stuck his foot-in-mouth again . . .
