Cougars coach Mike Leach's awful first season deserves Empty Corpse Award

Another incisive (fairly or unfairly?) article about Coug straits. "I'm disappointed in Leach for two reasons: He didn't make good use of some positive things he inherited, and he underestimated the psychological scar tissue involved when you take over a team with a deep losing culture. The Cougars needed a kick in the pants. It didn't have to be with a steel-toed boot, though." When was the last time not-Jim-Moore Seattle writers were empathizing with and psychoanalyzing Cougardom like this. CML brought the headlines his first year at least.
