OK, is there some smoke?

Are we expecting any announcements about the ongoings of our football program or will it be held in privacy?

Leach won't publicly say. That isn't his style. He plays all his cards close to the vest. But things will come out.

If players are involved

...that would likely be private.

 

[Todd4State]

I'm sure the media will ask about it this week. We'll probably get a cryptic answer from Leach.

 

[Russ Wheeler]

Doesn’t take a lame brain to realize Kylin Hill is one of them.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

...that would likely be private.

Until said players blast it all over twitter.

 

[40 acres and a mule]

Until said players blast it all over twitter.

And therein lies part of the problem.

NUKE E'M

let's get this shat over.

 

[Carbaryl]

One kid is a rather nice kid but was caught up in the tutor gate stuff last year and is lazy.He isn't going to last I'm afraid.

It definitely needs to be asked, but who is posing the question?

Marcus Murphy just posted he’s going back to offense...interesting

Are you aware of who the problem players are?

 

[patdog]

Very interesting. I think we can assume some WRs are part of the problem. Not sure I like depleting our DBs even more though. Could be a very interesting next few weeks for our football team.

 

[DAWG61]

Maybe but he had 15 receptions and 22 total touches Saturday. That's a whole lot of usage for someone you'd be thinking of purging 30 minutes after the game.

If there are issues, Leach will handle it. He's not one to waste time and worry about it. The one thing you can not have is a team ran by a few players.


I really hope there is no smoke, but... is what it is

 

[kired]

It really shouldn’t be a surprise considering how everyone claimed Moorhead was not near the disciplinarian that Mullen was. Leach hasn’t even been able to be around the players much since he was hired, in comparison to a normal year.

We were certainly heading in the wrong direction under Moorhead. Hard to fix that when contact with players has been limited.

 

[BigDawg0074]

I can think of a few glaring examples of players who appear to think they are bigger than the program or the university. I’m afraid it’s too late for those young men but that’s fine. This season is a wash for many reasons so I’m fine with whatever the coach thinks is best for his team. What can a coach do about scholarship players that he no longer wishes to be on the team?

No one on this steampile of an offense should feel bigger than anything.

 

[o_HuntDawg]

Kylin is one of the biggest issues on the team. Ive heard from multiple sources. Very much a ME guy.

Not shocked to see Murphy go back to offense.

 

[pmack65]

Have no idea who the player or players are they may be let go but I do know that a change has to be made at QB now. Costello isn't the answer, maybe he's hurt or just not good enough but no reason to continue in this direction. If your building for the future might as well start now.

 

[dog12]

In my opinion, moving Marcus Murphy to offense will help our secondary.

The coach must kick them off the team.

Any college football player that is in his 4th year or later and is a "cancer" to the team must be immediately dismissed.

Otherwise, that player will infect others on the team and eventually kill the team.

I've been concerned since it happened that Cohen's egregious mishandling of Leach's infamous "scarf tweet" could backfire on the program, particularly in the locker room. The fact was then and is now that Leach ,in his wildest dreams, attached no racial connotations to the tweet yet Cohen over zealously seized the opportunity to slap Leach's wrist for being so "insensitive". I am absolutely not trying to turn this into a political issue because it's not and never was until Cohen way overblew it and turned it to one. IMO it planted 2 bad seeds that should have never come up 1) Questioning Leach's awareness of racism 2) Questioning who is in charge of the football program I.E. every time a player has any kind of petty gripe about Leach, can they run to Cohen to slap coach's wrist again ? I am in no way trying to stretch or break the rules by posting this and apologize if I did so.

I believe it goes back to Moorhead. You had a divide that ended in a player getting his eye socket broken and not a damn thing happened to the one that did it. No example set. In looking back, I can't help but think that JoMo was neutered. That movement got a grip on the AD and the department. It took 2.... and 2 should have been punished. Period.

 

[patdog]

Yep. And the one thing I will give Leach a pass on for missing spring practice is I think some of what we're rumored to be seeing happening now would have happened back then if we had been practicing.

 

[Hail State]

Very well said. That stunt Cohen pulled should have him on probation for the next five years. I sincerely hope Keenum gave him the business over that. With everything going on in this current climate why would you dump a tanker truck of gasoline on a small spark? It wasn’t even a spark. No one with a fully functioning brain took Leach’s tweet anything more than what it was, a simple joke. He basically gave players who have grown up with the idea that victimization is capital, license to scream and kick and cry to the national media. Unbelievable. We probably should have fired him right there.

 

[RocketDawg]

You're right, I think, in assuming Leach had no malintent when he posted the cartoon. I know when I saw it any connection to blacks being lynched never crossed my mind. I just saw the husband dreaming of what he'd like to do.

 

[DAWG61]

Holy 17 will y'all let the twittergate 17ing die already. No players are thinking about that dumb **** only bored boomers making a mountain outta a molehill just trying to create drama.

 

[tenureplan]

Dude, you're over 40, drive like Granny, and use hip terms like a teenage girl. Grow a set and figure out your identity crisis

 

[paindonthurt_]

You poor thing

 

[DAWG61]

The irony of this post from the **** with the Van Wilder in the bathtub pic is rich. Here's your daily attention post from me you desperately seek. Enjoy it.

 

[tenureplan]

Hmm, you and dawgg both resort to calling out my profile pic when logic escapes you...ie often. Why haven't you logged into him lately? Is that username solely for politics?


eta: it was a great 17ing movie

No one whose not racist saw that connection.
