You guys must not have read or heard about this:

"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.
