    Texas Tech Head Coach Mike Leach rips Mangini for passing on Crabtree at #5.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4105406

    "Michael Crabtree has been more successful as a receiver than that guy as a coach at this point,"

    Leach said Crabtree isn't a "diva." "My definition of a diva is someone who's loud and self-absorbed," Leach told the Bee. "Michael Crabtree is the furthest thing from loud that I've seen. ... Let's see how all those non-divas do up in Cleveland this year."

      What a jackass. Crabtree fell because it's the NFL draft and the NFL draft is unpredictable. I'd rather have Robiskie and Mack over Crabtree. You then add in Massaquoi and the Texas Tech coach looks like a dumb ass. I never liked Leach, he just solidified my opinion.

          Funny, besides the story in the PD about Crabtree not being liked after his trip to Berea, Suzi Kolber said the same thing after he showed up at ESPN. She said the talk there was that he wasn't a nice guy.

          When you start hearing the same thing over and over then there is something to it.

            He's a tool and cost himself a few million bucks cuz of his act.

            He's a TO/CJ waiting to happen.

            Leach acts like TT is some sort of dominant program or something LMAO.

                Ha! Agreed.

                Somebody needs to remind Leach that his name isn't Pete Carroll (not that Carroll would let this kind of idiocy fall out of his mouth). TT's AD ought to be the 1st making that phone call.

                Anyway, if Leach wasn't 8 kinds of stupid, he'd be using his TOP 10 EFFING NFL DRAFT PICK as a nice new recruiting tool in the media guide as opposed to this cry-baby crap.

                  Joe Namath, is that you? Regardless, I tend to agree.

                  In any event, here's another gem from Leach, on the Cowboys' signing an UDFA QB from Texas A&M after he didn't start his senior season:

                  >>"I'm happy for Stephen McGee," Leach told The Dallas Morning News. "The Dallas Cowboys like him more than his coaches at A&M did."<<

                  I look forward to hearing from you again when the Browns cut Harrell, tool.

                  Dennis

                  Maybe TTU's players don't get love from the NFL because teams remember how well Tim Couch, Andre Ware, Alex Smith, and other system players from college turn out.

                    Hey, Leach! You can't do that to our pledges, only we can do that to our pledges!

                    Leave it to us to rip on Mangini, you worry about why your spread offense stinks to high heaven when a physical defense is on the opposite sidleine.

                    There are classy ways to defend your player, and then there's the Mike Leach way: Defending your player by taking a cheap shot at others.

                    How ironic his claim that Crabtree isn't a diva when he epitomizes it by these kinds of comments.

                      1. Mike Leach hasn't done jack as a coach. Eric Mangini has three Super Bowl rings. Fact.

                      2. Michael Crabtree fell in the draft because his background check is sketchy and he alienated everyone from the doorman to the GM. Fact.

                      3. Aside from Wes Welker, the number of Mike Leach coached Tech skill players who have been good in the NFL? ZERO.

                      Someone needs to point out to Mike Leach (since apparently he can't read) that the Plain Dealer wasn't quoting Eric Mangini when it said he was a "diva". That same Eric Mangini who just gave your crap QB Harrell a UFA contract. Get your facts straight Mike and get ready for your whoopin' in Austin.

                        Leach is evidently supposed to be some sort of Offense Savant, but he just looks like a guy who will show up at a recruit's house with mayo on his chin.

                                Imagine how good Crabtree and Harrell could have been had they went to a different school. Crabtree would have been top 5 and Harrell might of actually got drafted. And just maybe have a bowl win or Heisman under their belts

                                  The Browns are in massive---"quick it fix and win" mode... we couldnt just pick best available or base our pick on one possible trade option... our franchise keeps getting erased and rebuilt...with only a handful of picks, it made good sense to wheel and deal. I had no problem with working with the Jets. Heck, we are thier NFL minor league affiliate...why the heck not ???? (lust kidding...I liked our draft)

                                  Crabtree wasnt going to make us an instant winner...but going out and dealing for possibly 4-6 new starters has the potentail to change our result on the field.

                                  Lets hope so.

                                  Bermeck (Jets have a fourth waterboy... time for a deal)

                                    Who cares or gives a shit what the Texas Tech head coach says he is stuck out in the middle of the waste lands of texas. TT Sucks! and Crabtree is over rated.

                                    Kordell Stewart & Big Ben have been the butt of gay jokes (pun intended) and it turns out his Steelers teammates feel the same way.

                                        Texas Tech Head Coach Mike Leach rips Mangini for passing on Crabtree at #5.

                                        http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4105406

                                        "Michael Crabtree has been more successful as a receiver than that guy as a coach at this point,"

                                        Leach said Crabtree isn't a "diva." "My definition of a diva is someone who's loud and self-absorbed," Leach told the Bee. "Michael Crabtree is the furthest thing from loud that I've seen. ... Let's see how all those non-divas do up in Cleveland this year."

                                        What a jackass. Crabtree fell because it's the NFL draft and the NFL draft is unpredictable. I'd rather have Robiskie and Mack over Crabtree. You then add in Massaquoi and the Texas Tech coach looks like a dumb ass. I never liked Leach, he just solidified my opinion.

                                        Agreed If we can get the air out of BE's ass and focus on the team picture and winning - our new recievers will be great - Im a huge Buckeye fan and love what Robiskie did - There is just something in mygut especially from watching him in college, Massaquoi is gonna be SICK! He might pull an eddie royal and be a great fantasy pick up also - look at all the recievers in new orleans last year - the browns could be on that same path

                                          The Browns are in massive---"quick it fix and win" mode... we couldnt just pick best available or base our pick on one possible trade option... our franchise keeps getting erased and rebuilt...with only a handful of picks, it made good sense to wheel and deal. I had no problem with working with the Jets. Heck, we are thier NFL minor league affiliate...why the heck not ???? (lust kidding...I liked our draft)

                                          Crabtree wasnt going to make us an instant winner...but going out and dealing for possibly 4-6 new starters has the potentail to change our result on the field.

                                          Lets hope so.

                                          Yeah the only thing Crabtree would have done right away in Cleveland is sell jerseys and open up a restaurant in Euclid called Michaels CrabLegs "catchem if ya can" LOL
