Poor Wilson, his story wasn’t fabricated well enough. No “Craig James Scholarship” for him next year in Lubbock.

Next contestant, please.

I agree with florida727 — I’m not saying that there aren’t any head coaches out there who aren’t prone to abusing players, but as fans, many of whom have never played college football, we tend to forgot how physically brutal practices have to be to get them ready to compete in games.

When Bill Snyder came to KSU, he had trash cans strategically located for vomiting because they were going to be pushed that hard. And given Leach’s career success, I’m sure that his practices are pretty rough, too.

Some coaches are jerks and some are dirtbags. That’s the thin line. Some players have “it” (work ethic, talent, toughness, drive) and some don’t. Players also have to have a little moral fiber and integrity just like coaches.

of course there wasn’t. The kid is a joke and openly new of the allegations against Leach at Tech and used it to get sympathy on his side.

I’m not a Leach “hater”, or a WSU fan, so I think this is unbiased when I say: there’s always going to be a fine line between pushing someone to their limit and “abuse”. A coach’s job is to get every last ounce of performance out of every single player on his roster. I’m sure some of the tactics used would make some people cringe. And what Leach does probably isn’t that dramatically different than what Urban Meyer, Les Miles, Nick Saban, Bob Stoops, or any one of countless other coaches use to drive their players to be the absolute best they can be. For WSU fans, a sigh of relief I’m sure. Last thing they (or any program) need is a scandal.
