Mike Leach makes it clear how the Heisman winner is chosen
December 11th, 2021 at 8:59 PM ^
I hope there's several opportunities for Bryce Young to meet Hutch during a game.......
December 11th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
Here's hoping he calls a few meetings at the QB. It's one of my favorite plays!
December 12th, 2021 at 9:25 AM ^
My hope is that you stop making threads for every thought that enters your head.
December 12th, 2021 at 10:09 AM ^
My hope is that you "stop drinking an stay in bed".....
December 11th, 2021 at 9:00 PM ^
Rigged
December 11th, 2021 at 9:00 PM ^
my old classmate. atta boy, mike, tell it like it is.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
Had to go look at his Wiki page and TIL that Mike Leach is a lawyer and also a former Mormon, which... both strike me as bizarre.
December 11th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
Would you rather he be a new Mormon?
December 11th, 2021 at 10:51 PM ^
I don’t have any recollection of him following the Mormon faith, not even a little.
December 12th, 2021 at 3:24 AM ^

Underrated comment
December 11th, 2021 at 9:02 PM ^
Couldn't fit this in the Heisman thread like everyone else did with their posts/comments?
December 11th, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
Na man. Its Ezekials Creatures. He’s got new stuff to post with great taglines
December 11th, 2021 at 9:06 PM ^
It's EC fergodssake. Hes starved for attention
December 11th, 2021 at 9:13 PM ^
That is 3 pages deep...the OPs thoughts are too important. You know better than to ask questions when you already know the answer.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:14 PM ^
Gotta earn those downvotes to feel alive, apparently.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:06 PM ^
Mike Leach's act is so tired.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:07 PM ^
So is EC's.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:10 PM ^
...except for the fact that it's not an act.
You could say the same about Jim Harbaugh...except his isn't an act either. Those are two of the most unapologetically genuine coaches in the county.
Doesn't mean you have to love either of them, but never of them is acting.
Acting would be...Brian Kelly.
December 12th, 2021 at 2:24 AM ^
Y'all are spot on there!
December 11th, 2021 at 9:15 PM ^
For sure, less honesty and more pandering please!
December 11th, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
He's a buffoon. It's not an act.
December 11th, 2021 at 10:15 PM ^
Buffoon? He's different, that's for sure. Also a pretty damn good coach who wins in out of the way places. Texas Tech? Wazzou? Mississippi State?
December 11th, 2021 at 10:17 PM ^
I didn't say he couldn't coach.
December 12th, 2021 at 10:36 AM ^
Mike Leach called a team made up entirely of players he recruited frauds, right before he bolted for another job. Guy is a douche. And some of the people here that fall all over themselves to praise him kept lamenting the lack of hardware under Harbaugh. The fuck has Leach won?
December 12th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
Leach has one division title, just like Harbaugh
December 12th, 2021 at 12:16 PM ^
… but no conference championships, unlike Harbaugh
December 12th, 2021 at 12:23 PM ^
Not quite a fair and honest comparison there, Vlad.
December 12th, 2021 at 9:13 PM ^
Leach has a shared division title, and lost on tiebreaker. Harbaugh has one of those too.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:17 PM ^
If Tank Bigsby of Auburn would have simply stayed in bounds, no Heisman for Young and no CFP for Bama.
December 11th, 2021 at 10:28 PM ^
Or, you know, the offensive TEAM would have made just one more first down.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:19 PM ^
My love of Michigan and A Hutchinson aside, can people really not admit the best player in CFB won the Heisman tonight? There should be no shame for any of players who were runners up. Except for Stroud... he should be ashamed of going to OSU.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
Alabama would have been dead in the water if not for Bryce. Last two games, he made it happen. So, the question is Heisman a trophy for best player in Football or best player for their team. If the first, it is Hutch. If it is second, it is Bryce. I have no problem Bryce getting it, but unsure how he is the best player in CFB if your team has other competitive and good players. What Hutch did was even more impressive give another top 15 projected NFL draft pick is playing on the other side of the line.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:34 PM ^
A birdie suggested to me that he (Stroud) may not stay there long
December 11th, 2021 at 9:44 PM ^
where on earth would the kid go? its not like he won't be starting at a premier football factory next year, so what upgrade would he be looking for?
December 11th, 2021 at 9:36 PM ^
His WR’s are open and make big plays. Hutch, generates his own stats.
December 11th, 2021 at 11:03 PM ^
100%. Young won the votes in every region in a landslide. I really wanted Aidan to win, but it’s not controversial in the slightest, well, anywhere but on a Michigan message board, that Bryce Young was named Most Outstanding Player. That he, a defensive player, finished second is incredible and is something worth celebrating alone. And if this is the motivation he needs to beat Georgia and, likely, Alabama, it will be well worth it.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
stop the presses, the heisman doesn’t always go to the best player.
December 11th, 2021 at 9:47 PM ^
Mike Leach is a great coach and hilarious to listen to
December 11th, 2021 at 9:51 PM ^
Is he wrong?
December 12th, 2021 at 12:28 AM ^
Yes? What does it even mean for it to be political? It's a lame trophy but it's always pretty obvious. QB of a top 5 team with great stats unless a WR or RB has record breaking stats and then maybe they get a chance. Not sure how that's political.
December 12th, 2021 at 6:07 AM ^
It's political for several reasons - one of which is that it almost always goes to a player on a team that is winning some gorm of championship. There have been numerous glaring years where the *best* player by far was either on 1) a "power" team that finished with an average record or 2) a non-"power" team... those guys will never be given the Heisman and often don't even receive an invite to the ceremony (yet they frequently make almost immediate impact in the nfl).
December 12th, 2021 at 6:47 AM ^
Yes I get how it's awarded. It's basically what I said. What about that makes it "political"? This feels like people are just using that word because it has negative connotations. I could understand if people thought there were shady backroom deals between voters and coaches or something but no one seems to claim that. The voting is very straightforward, unimaginative, and predictable, but I don't see how that's political.
December 11th, 2021 at 10:13 PM ^
Come on guys. I know we all would love to see our guy win the Heisman. But its not like Young is some undeserving winner.
We can't have threads like this one and the Vince Young thread and still be able to rag on MSU or Bama for complaining about Walker and Anderson getting a raw deal.
December 11th, 2021 at 10:40 PM ^
I will always admire Mike Leach for one thing among others - signing a copy of his own book with the note "CJK5H". I still laugh at this when I think about it and it has been a decade since it happened.
December 11th, 2021 at 11:00 PM ^
Bryce Young is a very good player, he had a top-notch performance in Alabama's most important game of the year, and the Heisman will always go to an offensive player unless 100 stars align in some unique fashion align for a defensive player as it did (a once in a 500 year event, if we're being honest) in 1997.
It's not political, it's just what it is.
December 12th, 2021 at 12:17 AM ^
Sure, the best player didn't win, but that player is not Hutchinson. The best player in college football is Will Anderson. I would say Young is more deserving than Hutch and its only on this board that this is considered "rigged" or an unjust outcome.
December 12th, 2021 at 5:21 AM ^
My eyes tell me different and so does PFF.
