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. |

I am a Missouri fan, and I have never been a Texas Tech fan. There are also people that can see that Craig James has a sordid history, and that the Texas AD has been angling to get rid of Leach for a while.

I'm curious.... if you have a player who can't practice with the team, so you 'force' him to stand in a specific section of the stands, or in a specific area behind the bench, how is that different?

I'm not "agreeing" with "the kid". ANY coach who pulls this kind of shit on a college or high school campus deserves their walking papers, immediately. Don't you have a roommate to rape? Move along. |

You know what the moral of this story is?
If you're going to **** with a kid, it probably shouldn't be the guys kid who works for ESPN. |
