College coaches across the nation were angry on Saturday.

During the Oregon-Colorado game, a fired up Dan Lanning ripped into Colorado for all the media coverage they were getting.

After the Ohio State-Notre Dame game, OSU HC Ryan Day blasted Lou Holtz over some comments he made on the Pat McAfee show.

During his postgame press conference, Washington State head coach Jake Dickert fired shots at Lee Corso and ESPN over comments Corso made about his team on College GameDay.

“I think nationally, there’s a lot of noise out there,. “I caught something this morning, I was watching GameDay, and Corso comes on and he says ‘The No One Watches Bowl.’ And I don’t really understand that. What’s the merit, once again? Because the facts say people watch the Cougs and the people watch the Cougs more than every team that’s left over in the Big 12.”

“It’s well documented what ESPN has done to try and get our league into where it’s at,” Dickert said. “I would love to have a conversation with Coach Corso about the value that he sees in breaking up the premier West Coast conference. I would also love to have a conversation with Coach Corso about how he thinks student-athletes and mental health and flying them across the country is a positive thing.”
