Cardinals Mike Leach?

It's too bad the article didn't go into detail about the contract provisions that Leach objected to. It was all over ESPN.

I don't blame Mike Leach one bit for telling Texas Tech to take the contract and shove it up their asses. They want to be able to fire him at any time and only pay him 12% of the salary agreed to in the contract if they do. Why sign a contract in the first place if 88% of it is voidable?

They also want to be able to fine him $1.5 Million if he interviews with another school without their permission. OK, I can kind of understand that, but when you combine it with the 12% item, it seems pretty one-sided to me. It also seems like a damn funny way to reward a guy for doing a good job for you.

If Texas Tech fires him now, they will be a laughingstock.
