    Sorry, I think about Iowa ****** as little as possible.

    Maybe Leach will channel his inner Chizik with a "this job sucks."

    If the lines truly are regressing, you can be truthful about it without throwing your players under the bus publicly. Just say something like "It continues to be an area that needs improvement, and we are working hard to come up with solutions to get the level of play up to the standard we need to be successful." Then give your specific criticisms to the players in the privacy of practice.

    Actually, yes. I expect the head coach to take all the blame anytime his team loses. He's the one making millions, he's the one in charge of gameplans, and he's the one in charge of putting his players in the best position to succeed.

    Just ran his best player off the team - Report: Cougars WR Marquess Wilson quits team | KING5.com Seattle, making the total count 18 or so scholarship players to leave since his hiring.

    Someone didn't read the link. Every time he does something like this he circles it back himself and how he and his staff failed to make things happen. If you play for Leach, you will be held accountable publicly.
    I'm on Twitter too: Tre4ISU

    Or so I have read.
