Here is how Mike Leach could fix things if he wasn't so damn stubborn.

I always dissect our games this year when we lose in trying to find out where to put blame and did this one too despite the fact we pulled off a miracle.

You watch Auburn and other teams who have learned to run the ball on us as they make adjustments (something we never do) and you will see 1 and often 2 tight end sets for blocking and opening huge holes. Auburn started doing it a lot. Of course, we can't because Leach is not big on tight ends , smh.

Another thing, you see how teams adjust on defense and sometimes stack the box? Wouldn't that be a good time to add a tight end as an extra blocker? I mean a TE could help buy Rogers a couple extra seconds, then leave his blocking assignment and get open as another receiver. And if you need to run the ball, a big TE can help push back the defense.

I've been a pro Leach guy but he has lost me now. He is stubborn to no end , never shows emotion on the sideline to get in his players face when they are screwing shjt up etc etc (Notice how Cadillac Williams kept his team playing hard)

I don't think Leach is the answer anymore. It's the same garbage we saw in year one.

Disagree, Coach Leach is both the answer and the question. I support CML.

No he's not. He runs his offense. That's what you get with the air raid. You want him to convert to a pro set within a game? Keep a big TE on the squad so when he comes in to play, the Defenses know to expect run?

Because that's all he had. Is to be a cheerleader.

Was he ever? I don't love or hate him. He's a 7-5 guy. Just ask yourself, do you enjoy losing to the big guys every year but win the ones you expect to win or do you like the occasional upset with a whiff in the season?

All we need is 1 or 2 Michael Crabtrees on the team.

I always thought that adding a TE would help this concept ... although a RB serves much of the same purpose a TE can still be that extra blocker and double as a check down guy as well. Just my thoughts but I don't make millions coaching football either so maybe - maybe not

So your solution is to fire Leach for Cadillac because "they play hard"? Ok cool
