Not one.

It's not a judge or jury's job to condone it. It's their job to determine if he violated the letter of his contract. From what we know and can assume, they won't have to condone anything, but they also won't have a hard time finding that he didn't violate his contract.

You know what the end result of "condoning" his actions would be, which is exactly why I stated it wouldn't happen.

The kid had been a disruptive shithead... and prima donna... and WOULDN'T even of been in D1, if not for Mike Leach giving him a chance...

Adam acts like a douche, doesn't give any effort... cries about it. Then has a concussion...

Go stand in the ****ing equipment and get out of my face, Cancer James.

I see no problem with this. The guy has been a thorn... and is lazy and acts entitled.

he should have just cut him... but the shed deal, isn't a big deal to me.

Mike Leach will get a FAT payday somewhere... from a team that wants a redneck from West Texas who can win and recruit. In the end, Leach wins.

I doubt he'll immediately receive a contract that pays him $12 million.

Telling a player to go sit in a room is a crime? HARDLY.

I don't care unless they catch Bill Self ****ing up.

You guys must not have read or heard about this:

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoot...coaching-power

"In many ways, Leach hung himself. There were no terms of endearment when he constantly looked at other jobs and fought the administration over a salary extension. The man is as quirky, though, as he is brilliant. Having an academically deficient player study in freezing weather at the 50-yard line isn't weird, it's inhumane. Humiliating quarterback Taylor Potts was demeaning. Leach told Potts that his first name was not masculine enough and changed the player's jersey to read "Nick."
Still, he got away with all of it until the James family complained. It doesn't matter what some Red Raiders think of Adam James' character or that his father Craig James might be a "helicopter dad." Abuse, even the perception of it, is a problem.

Yeah, coaching is different -- blah, blah, blah. But real life has to figure in there somewhere and a $4 million contract doesn't give you the keys to a university."

Leach sounds like a power-mad assshole.

You'll have to let him know he can never be a QB.

Eh, my favorite team's QB is a "Blaine",and he seems alright...lol

Just like Mangino wasn't really fired for poking a player in the chest with his finger, Leach wasn't really fired for making one player stand in a shed.

He was fired because he has continuously pissed off his employers, and they (1) decided they'd had enough of his shit, and (2) had an excuse to fire him.
