I don't really buy the Surrender Monkey characterization of Leland. 

I don't really either, was rather pointing out the difficulty for an AD to actually take such a stand.

Of course, if Leland had hired a Harbaugh equivalent instead of Teevens, Wlat back to back, then he could have done a lot more preaching about the woes of the commercialized-sports model without incurring the wrath of his own fan base.
