papazoid Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Just days after he was indefinitely suspended from the Washington State football team for violating unspecified team rules, star receiver Marquess Wilson announced Saturday he was leaving the Cougars. In the process, Wilson also blasted first-year coach Mike Leach and his staff, accusing them of "abuse" while saying his suspension was "an attempt by the athletic department to cover up what is really happening in that locker room." "I believe coaches have a chance to mold players, to shape men, to create greatness. However, the new regime of coaches has preferred to belittle, intimidate and humiliate us. This approach has obviously not been successful, and has put a dark shadow on this program." http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8618108/marquess-wilson-washington-state-cougars-leaves-team-alleges-abuse-coaching-staff Washington State hired Leach late last year. The coach had come off two years of spending time in Key West, doing TV work, and pursuing ongoing legal action related to his exit from Texas Tech, including lawsuits against the school, ESPN and former ESPN analyst Craig James. Leach was fired by Texas Tech in December 2009 amid accusations disputed by Leach of mistreating James' son, Adam, who was a Texas Tech player at the time.

NoSaint Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Could be true, could be a disgruntled player taking advantage of past accusations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 No university should have hired Leach after the debacle at Tech. This school will fire Leach as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Mike Leach is an f'in !@#$. This guy has routinely ripped hi splayers in public and god knows what he has said at practice. He is quoted as saying their play was bordering on cowardice. He is a fat piece of **** that couldn't run 100 yards without passing out. He makes hundreds of thousands of dollars and seems to forget these are student athletes. He went to Washington St. to rehab his image, now he wil be lucky to get an OC job with a division III school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville slapped the hat and headset off graduate assistant coach Kevin Oliver during a 41-34 overtime victory over Kansas, and the video quickly went viral.

papazoid Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Mike Leach didn't want to discuss Marquess Wilson..... (On the Marquess Wilson statement) “I’m not going to talk about anybody that’s not here, you know. I coach the guys that are here. I don’t have anything to say about anybody that’s not here.” (Do you deny abuse?) “Absolutely. Next question. And if you expect to ask another one, you won’t keep walking down that path.” http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/sportslink/2012/nov/11/mike-leach-mum-wilson-praises-wsu-effort/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The Senator's been attending to some pretty important business dealings lately so he hasn't been able to visit the board as much. As for Leach, I don't think there are enough facts to start judging things. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do tell. Is he going to make enough to buy the Bills and hire Leach as HC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
