Mike Leach official qualifier of Pac-12 "A total loose" in a series of texts on player safety

Even though he declined to comment after the match on Sept. 21, Washington State head coach Mike Leach criticized the Pac-12 officials for safety. players a few days after the incident. messages, according to the documents that Yahoo Sports has obtained via a public registration application.

Woody Dixon, the General Counsel and Vice President of Commercial Affairs, also reportedly called for the USC-Washington State match and used his authority to dismiss the officials from the retransmission about a targeting call in the match.

Here are some important points:

Leach, in a text to David Coleman, vice president of Pac-12, wrote on September 25 about the No-Call targeted against USC: "Woodie is a coward and fears the USC. I can not wait to tell him in person.

In lyrics to Larry Scott, commissioner of Dixon and the Pac-12 commission, Leach blames the league for not supporting his remarks publicly on the commitment to player safety. Leach wrote to Dixon following Gustin's success: "Never waste my time, letting me attend a speech or moralizing demonstration on player safety or targeting if you want to continue to alibi what happened on Friday latest."

Leach also said in a text message to Scott: "The Pac-12 can not credibly claim that they are actually trying to protect student athletes."

Leach of course did not stop there. His textual tirade referred to a match with Stanford in 2015 in which he accused not only Dixon of telling the Washington State group to calm down in this game, but also to try to manipulate the results of Pac-12 games in general. Dixon did not appreciate the comment.

Dixon replied, "Mike never again accuse [me of] to manipulate victories and defeats. Please, show this text to your AD and have him call me. "

Leach replied, "I did not charge you for anything. I suggest you adjust the rules that I have indicated. After all, it's your job.

But all the effervescence of the end of Leach remained only on the phone. A spokesman for the Pac-12 said in a statement that no official allegation had been brought forward from Washington State and that it does not appear to be the case soon . Leach is known to peddle conspiracies from time to time, but at least with the most recent charges, it's easier to understand where he comes from.
