Leach Fired
per ESPN
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls0...ory?id=4781981 CBSsportsline linked article as well: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/12724022 LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech has fired football coach Mike Leach. The school handed a termination letter to Leach's attorney, Ted Liggett, on Wednesday just before the two sides were to appear in a Lubbock, Texas, courtroom for a hearing on the coach's suspension. Liggett says the letter says Leach is "terminated with cause effective immediately." Leach was suspended by the university on Monday while the school investigated allegations that he mistreated an injured player. Receiver Adam James alleges Leach twice confined him to small, dark spaces during practice after the player was diagnosed with a concussion. Texas Tech plays Michigan State on Saturday in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio. |

The only reason Texas Tech got good at football was because of him, and they fired him over $800,000 and some made up BS? Enjoy your fade back into football obscurity.

Hopefully this ends the Texas Tech problem that has been plaguing all our teams.

But don't they owe him $400K for each of the remaining 4 years left on his contract, or does that go away when "with cause" is added?
