Texas Tech Coach Leach Suspended for Ill Treatment of Player

So what's your degree in?

mocking people from Woodbridge Va. : )

all I am saying is a degree is no more valid or proof of anything depending on who possesses it.

being intelligent means nothing without the critical thought to turn that into wisdom. Anyone can parrot back what they've been told.

your not following what I am saying. if its true what he is doing, that ultimately means -no social skills- no ability to function normally in interactions with people in a positive healthy manor in society.
By this definition no one has any social skills, because we all make mistakes in interactions with people. Your just blatantly saying that all collegiate coaches don't have social skills, when in fact you have likely never even encountered one in a social situation. If he was truly incapable of functioning normally in interactions with people he would not be where he is today considering how important relations are in the coaching world.
Being able to lie to people is not a social skill ie a positive truthful thing. Its a psych problem that needs to be dealt with.
Everyone in America lies to people, I guess we all have psych problems that need to be dealt with. One of the biggest factors in a recruit's decision making is how comfortable they are with the coaching staff... it definately takes social skills in order to make someone feel comfortable and establish positive relationships with them.
Having a degree doesnt prove you are intelligent, it just proves you turned in homework.
Oh really? Because I'm pretty sure that attaining a degree requires a bit more than just turning in homework. You don't earn a collegiate degree, let alone a law degree from a prestigious institution, without some semblance of intelligence.
And the generality still holds for a great deal many sports coaches. Critical thinking is not something many coaches have. The next game is all they have in their tiny, overpaid lives.
What exactly do you define as critical thinking?

this is exactly what I mean by wisdom and critical thought. you are waxing on pointless minutiae and overthinking something that is easily understood.
You just dont get the basic point.
 
I would also add that this is another example of how stress can make you act out in ways such as this. It doesnt excuse it though.

pretty sad,.. all this talk of the science and knowledge of well executed football plays and coaches are still dumb ex jocks with no social skills

Your a fucking moron.

The basic premise of your entire post is contradictory. Jocks with no social skills. Quick, think of a homecoming/prom King. Did he play sports? I guess he had social skills.



*Eagerly awaits explanation of how he was homecoming king, but didn't play sports*
 
How does an adult get locked into a closet? Especially a man. They should've just kept it in house, this is embarrassing.
 
Perhaps leached learned this cellar trapping technique from Mr. Josef Fritzl.

I hope that the victim here didn't get impregnated with Leach's baby or anything.
 
I was gonna come in with a "not another one of these bitchmade/butthurt kids who got yelled at too hard" kind of post but after reading the story, this sounds pretty serious.

Uncharacteristically dumb on Leach's part. Hope he can rebound as LSU's Offensive Coordinator next season.

oh , please, stop crying. You dont understand because you dont possess critical thought. there is nothing general or random about anything I said.
to say otherwise is childish foolishness. Anything beyond basic thought is hard for you and that is why you lash out. Just stick to being a sports fan.

and siding with children who just throw insults doesnt help you either.

Do tell.

What critical thought went into your generalization that coaches are stupid jocks with no social skills?

Lets look at a few facts about college coaching.
-You must have a masters degree (yes, this is a requirement. Feel free to browse the AFCA website and look at job qualifcations if doubt me).
-You must manage a staff of 20+ individuals (coaches, GAs, managers ect..)
-You are in charge of roughly 100 football players.
-You must fund raise
-You must do publicity

Of course that's just for a head coach. Networking is HUGE factor in employment and advancement.

Let alone the act of coaching itself. Besides countless administrative issues, you have TEACHING as a prime skill. Critical thinking, like...say...designing an offense. Lets look at Blooms Taxonomy here...lets see the three highest orders of thinking:

Analysis...check (Ever tried to diagnose a coverage and front in real time? Who's the force defender? What are the LB's keys? Is the DL read and react or are they stunting a gap?)

Synthesis....go read, say, any book on an offensive or defensive system and get back to me on this one. You can start with the AFCA stuff, it's pretty basic.

Evaluation....why jeez, what are they watching all that dog-gone film for?


Of course, I'm sure you've critically debated this process so please, inform the uninformed.

again, you do not grasp what I am saying. Read all my posts repeated times. Having a degree means nothing when it come to interactions with people. Being in charge of people means nothing,depending who and how they are doing it. Coaching is one third of the job. Everyone in football knows everything everyone else does. Thats hardly the hard part. This is just basic redundant stuff you are going over.

I think all St. Louis Rams fans have sex with unconscious elderly males.

Because I said so.
 
oh , please, stop crying. You dont understand because you dont possess critical thought.
First off, lets see what the definition of criticial thinking is:
Critical thinking is the purposeful and reflective judgement about what to believe or what to do in response to observations, experience, verbal or written expressions, or arguments. Critical thinking involves determining the meaning and significance of what is observed or expressed, or, concerning a given inference or argument, determining whether there is adequate justification to accept the conclusion as true. Hence, Fisher & Scriven define critical thinking as "Skilled, active, interpretation and evaluation of observations, communications, information, and argumentation."[1] Parker & Moore define it more naturally as the careful, deliberate determination of whether one should accept, reject, or suspend judgment about a claim and the degree of confidence with which one accepts or rejects it.[2]

Critical thinking gives due consideration to the evidence, the context of judgment, the relevant criteria for making the judgment well, the applicable methods or techniques for forming the judgment, and the applicable theoretical constructs for understanding the problem and the question at hand. Critical thinking employs not only logic but broad intellectual criteria such as clarity, credibility, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, significance and fairness.
Coaches do that all the time. Literally all the time.

And you say I don't possess critical thinking? Everyone in this thread outside of you has demonstrated critical thinking.
there is nothing general or random about anything I said.
You make random generalizations, such as "all coaches are dumb ex-jocks with no social skills". You randomly toss in how being able to lie to people is a psych problem that needs addressing.

to say otherwise is childish foolishness. Anything beyond basic thought is hard for you and that is why you lash out.
LOL. This just takes the cake.

Anything beyond basic thought is hard for me? Yeah, that would explain why I scored in the 99th percentile in both the SAT and ACT in critical reading and reasoning passages. That would explain why I have been accepted into what one guide hailed as the 4th best political science program in the world. I could go on further here, but I won't because your a dumbass.

Just stick to being a sports fan.
Stick to being a fan? Lemme see your scholarship offers. Lemme see your handwritten notes from Dabo Swinney, Butch Davis, Tom O'Brien, and Jerry Moore. Lemme see your three all-conference awards. Lemme see your school records for receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, as well as for points scored and field goals made. Lemme see you burn defensive backs who started as true freshman for Illinois this year for over 200 yards and 2 TD's. Lemme see you score a touchdown, kick the extra point, and then go do the kickoff.
and siding with children who just throw insults doesnt help you either.
I'm siding with children? Sven is probably the most knowledge football guy on this forum, who has probably forgotten more about the game than you could ever hope to learn.

All in all, your a delusional fucking idiot. There is always that one guy on every forum who thinks he's the smartest guy ever, and he always thinks he wins arguments, only to be so oblivious to miss the fact that the rest of the forum is proving him wrong and that they know he's a fucking retard.
 
Mr. ram29jackson, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

well, that was pointless. You are focusing on generalities that have nothing to do with it. I said he is a coach that pushes a true stereotype and it does lend itself to psych problems. as well as not dealing with pressure well. Having a degree and coaching football dont change the fact he has a problem.

And you say I don't possess critical thinking? Everyone in this thread outside of you has demonstrated critical thinking.

You make random generalizations, such as "all coaches are dumb ex-jocks with no social skills". You randomly toss in how being able to lie to people is a psych problem that needs addressing.


LOL. This just takes the cake.

Anything beyond basic thought is hard for me? Yeah, that would explain why I scored in the 99th percentile in both the SAT and ACT in critical reading and reasoning passages. That would explain why I have been accepted into what one guide hailed as the 4th best political science program in the world. I could go on further here, but I won't because your a dumbass.


Stick to being a fan? Lemme see your scholarship offers. Lemme see your handwritten notes from Dabo Swinney, Butch Davis, Tom O'Brien, and Jerry Moore. Lemme see your three all-conference awards. Lemme see your school records for receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, as well as for points scored and field goals made. Lemme see you burn defensive backs who started as true freshman for Illinois this year for over 200 yards and 2 TD's. Lemme see you score a touchdown, kick the extra point, and then go do the kickoff.

I'm siding with children? Sven is probably the most knowledge football guy on this forum, who has probably forgotten more about the game than you could ever hope to learn.

All in all, your a delusional fucking idiot. There is always that one guy on every forum who thinks he's the smartest guy ever, and he always thinks he wins arguments, only to be so oblivious to miss the fact that the rest of the forum is proving him wrong and that they know he's a fucking retard.



none of this has do with football accomplishments or knowledge. It has to do with an abusive control freak who cant interact with people correctly. Please try to focus and stop taking and making things personal.
 
well, that was pointless. You are focusing on generalities that have nothing to do with it. I said he is a coach that pushes a true stereotype and it does lend itself to psych problems. as well as not dealing with pressure well. Having a degree and coaching football dont change the fact he has a problem.

Minus the part about being an ex-jock (as he never played) and being dumb...since he was a practicing lawyer.

In fact, in most ways, he's an anti-coach.

haha there are plenty of coaches who fit the category I covered. Him not playing or having a degree changes nothing that is true about what I said. I am talking about smarts that involve wisdom. Not practiced or studied knowledge of a topic.

Which has what to do with what?

Do you even know what your talking about anymore? So far I have this...

Mike Leach is a dumb ex-jock, who isn't really a dumb ex-jock, but there are plenty of dumb ex-jocks who coach so coaches are just dumb ex-jocks.
