Who’s responsible for WSU football mess?
In an editorial today, Lee Rozen of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News Editorial Board comments:
Washington State University’s Mike Leach, both as a top-level football coach and a human being, has a carefully cultivated mystique.
He presents himself as a world-class jerk to the sportswriters who cover him, his team and his players.
Yet, he walks home to his Pullman neighborhood from Martin Stadium many days, stopping to chat with residents along the way.
He’ll put all the failures of a losing game on his players, taking none on himself for pregame preparation or in-game decisions.
Then, he’ll defend those same players against actions that seem indefensible when they’re accused of assault - in one case against a woman - and theft. He’ll keep playing them even after they’re expelled for these actions. More here.
Question: Who do you think is to blame for the Washington State football mess?
