Mike Leach blasts PAC-12 officials and executives

Huge set of nuts on Mike Leach. I wish some coach in the SEC would call out the SEC offices.
quote:
Washington State coach Mike Leach expressed anger and distrust in the Pac-12's commitment to player safety in a series of text messages he exchanged with conference officials last month, according to documents obtained by Yahoo Sports via a public records request
quote:
Several of the texts were aimed at Pac-12 general counsel and senior vice president of business affairs Woodie Dixon, who was at the center of a Yahoo Sports report last week that stated the conference's leadership has influenced decision-making during the replay process of football games. According to the report, a "third party" "did not agree" with the booth and the command center's decision to call targeting against Tago in the game, resulting in targeting not being called.
quote:
Leach blasted Dixon in one of his texts, sent four days after the loss to the Trojans, writing: "Woodie is a total coward and is afraid of USC. I look forward to telling him in person."
In another text, which Leach sent to Dixon, he criticized the Pac-12's commitment to player safety in the wake of the helmet-to-helmet hit by Gustin. "Don't ever waste my time, making me sit through some sanctimonious speech or demonstration on player safety or targeting if you are going to continue to alibi what happened last Friday," Leach wrote in his text.
quote:
Why can't I help wondering, if you're trying to manipulate wins and losses?" Leach wrote to Dixon.
Dixon responded, "Mike don't ever again accuse [me] of manipulating wins and losses. Please show this text to your AD and have him give me a call."

This should be a huge story, but isn't.

That's always been my frustration.
I understand why there is bias when I'm watching games. So be it. It's entertainment.
However....
When the bias gets in the way of player safety, I get annoyed. Especially in college.
Obvious facemask calls missed, head hunting, diving at sliding QBs with no call, etc, cause me to change the channel.
At least college has that going for it: if one game is blatantly obvious, you can always watch another game....unless it's the last game of the season.

Fwiw, Dixon actually called and overruled a targeting call that was going against WSU. It was a terrible call though, not nearly as blatant as the USC targeting call.

Last week, the Pac-12 overhauled its replay protocols after a Yahoo Sports report that Dixon, who is not a trained official, telephoned in and overruled replay officials on a different targeting call under review in the same game.

Mike isn't wrong, in any of his accusations.

Mike Leach is a treasure

Mike Leach is the fricking GOAT, a true MF who tells it like it is

I would love to see Leach at a top level program. Maybe Auburn will give him a shot.

I think he might be shitting where he eats(going after pac12), signalling to programs thinking about making changes, that he will be available.

Pretty sure he openly campaigned for the Tennessee job so I don’t think it’s a secret that he would leave for a higher level program

I thought it was the vol fans that did, and he played along. I'm not really sure though.
But going after the heads of a conference, and inferring that they might be cheating pretty much is like firing the flare gun, letting people know, i'm ready.

Leach also ended each text with five capitalized letters, CJKFH

I don't think he's looking to leave. He's just more like us than any other coach. He says what he feels.

Not sure what calling the ad would do. Leach is a God on that campus. That ad would be ran out of town if he did anything to Leach.
