Why is @4Cornerspoo’ing a post about a man taken too soon and his positive impact on his players? 

Love Coach Leach. A gem and a guy who could describe paint drying and sound like Hemingway. 
 

Also, you understand that these little post emojis don’t mean anything and have no value? You understand that right?

They seem to have some sort of value to you.

Wasn't he fired from Tech for being "abusive" to players or was that some other I take my job a tad too seriously coach?

Oh... fired bc he locked a concussed kid in an equipment room alone for hours... dude was a chode. 

That's not how the story happened at all.

Kid was Craig James's (ESPN personality) son, and was whining to his dad about how he wasn't getting any playing time. He got a concussion in practice and the training staff sent him to a dark room which is supposed to help concussions. Complained to his dad that Leach "abused" him and Craig wrote a hit piece on ESPN that got national exposure and coverage. Ultimately got Leach shitcanned.

Leach rebounded and turned around 2 more programs and is beloved by all of CFB. Craig James is an irrelevant failed broadcaster turned failed politician turned whacko preacher man.

I am an Ole Miss graduate but, I am a fan of MSU and Ole Miss.   Mike Leach out coached Lane Kiffin on Thanksgiving night. Both schools had powerful coaches.

you could tell, MSU was a powerful team this year.   Rumors started to circulate that ML was leaving State for medical reasons.  Turns out ML was having respiratory issues.  ML reported the medical issues subsided and 2023 promised to be another good year for MSU.

The point is, ML was a strong coach who will be missed dearly.  Prayers for ML family and MSU.

Hail State!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
