I'm sure you are right. I'm speaking in broad strokes, no doubt. I defer to just about anyone in the know on the details.

Some have said that he couldn't sit either, but if there was an excercise bike in the room for his use, wouldln't that have allowed him to sit?

If he was cut there is no doubt Craig James would have cried foul and the same result would have happened. It is really unprofessional that ESPN through all of this continues to give him a forum.

So what you're telling us is that Leach had no choice, right?

Why did he even sign a contract extension?

Why didn't he just quit?

Wow, poor Mike Leach!

:facepalm:

Texas Tech went too far in its firing of Mike Leach

For the record: Craig James didn’t get Mike Leach fired. Neither did his son or ESPN or anyone else on the periphery of Texas Tech’s football program.

He won, graduated his players, didn’t attract the attention of the NCAA and still managed to generate controversy. In short, he was a lot like a basketball coach Tech once employed.
The difference between Leach’s situation and Bob Knight’s was that Gerald Myers liked Knight.

"Your honor, with all due respect to the court and my opposing collegue, I submit this long list of witnesses including current and former players and coaches who will testify to witnessing first hand how Adam James repeatedly refused to follow the word of his coaches. That's exactly what this case is about. A entitled student who felt his lineage of privlege permitted him to do everything he could to avoid following the coaching instructions that were given to players. The injury to this player was respected, and he was told the remain standing along side all of his teammates in a location that would be certain to protect him from harsh lighting."

Yep.

While a student stood outside the room, guarding him from exiting.

That's not ominous at all, is it?

Leach told the trainer to clean out the room of anything that he would be able to sit or lean on to be sure that didn't happen.

Guarding him to make sure he didn't sit down. He was a snitch, hardly a locked door.

Like all of the coaches doing for all of the rest of the team that stayed on the field hitting in full pads in the full Texas sun.

You mess with the bull you get the horns.

There isn't a judge or jury in the United States of America that will condone Leach's actions in this case.

Not one.

Just because.

This whole thing is just bizarre.
