We WERE in this same position LAST WEEK at the 1 yard line as time was running out. We COULD have pushed another TD in, but chose to have some Class . . .

Because he thought his brand new corner coming off an injury might have had an interception or the pass was incomplete......I'm not sure I'd want to play for a coach that mails it in. I like my coaches to coach the WHOLE game. Even coach the backups.

Interesting take. So, if I am reading it correctly, you would like to play for a coach that keeps going for the jugular, no matter what the score is.
Go play for Jack Pardee.

I tend to agree with this statement. To paraprahse Stallion, don't get mad, get good and get even.

We WERE in this same position LAST WEEK at the 1 yard line as time was running out. We COULD have pushed another TD in, but chose to have some Class . . .
And on top of that, the only reason we threw the ball was because they were callling timeout to stop the clock.

does this every year to weak non-con's because when he plays the good teams in the Big 12 they bend him over and spank him till he cries.... just to emphasize how much of a completely self-centered [deleted] bag he is: Leach was pleased with the defense, especially the five picks.
"Five of the best catches of the game were on defense," he said. "I thought they deserved a shutout. I wish they would of gotten it."

There's a reason Randy Galloway calls Leach 'Jeffrey Dahmer.'

typed: "Mike Leach Sportsmanship" into Google and my computer threatened to commit suicide. buuut....the 2nd article i found was from Lubbock Online went a little something like this
Also, why does there seem to be so little discipline this year with Tech, both on the field and off? Players stabbed, players kicked off the team, players suspended, players diving in the end zone and players taunting other teams' fans? Does this not fall on coach Leach? What has happened to sportsmanship and class at Tech?

[quote="mrydelBut after they were stopped, and there were 20 seconds left, the clock running and well within the 40 second clock, class does not run another play.[/quote]
I have no doubt he ran another play to try and cover the spread. This was discussed on talk radio quite a bit this week, how its taboo, but exists. Basically, the jist was "any coach who says he doesn't know the spread is lying, all coaches realize their big boosters also bet on the games and they want to cover the spread"
I had no problem with it, besides, it was satisfying to keep them out at the end, especially since I had some coin on SMU

Probably not,
But we all know that is how Leach is, I knew he wasn't going to take a knee and was going to try and score, and was very satisfying to stop them
