Leach Fired
per ESPN

CBSsportsline linked article as well:

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.

Since when is "attending practice" the same as being locked in a completely dark equipment shed?

I am loving people brining up their high school sports stories like they are in any way comparable. Should I bring out my Dan Gable Wrestling Camp horror tales? lame.

Wow, it sure sounds awful when you say it like that. I am just glad James didn't try to escape. He could have gotten shot in the back Shawshank Redemption style.

You're missing the point.

If Adam James was a huge pain in the ass AND was suffering from a concussion, the best decision was to excuse him from practice until he was medically cleared to participate again.

Drama over. Leach still the head coach.

Problem solved.

Why? If he was physically able to attend practice, that is to say able to be at practice even if he involved in any physical contact, why is the best thing for him to not be at practice at all?

We'll see. $1.6m would be a good deal for TT given the full value of Leach's contract. There could very well be a quiet settlement reached or there could be a loud and long court battle. I doubt TT wants a lot of that kind of publicity. Are you a Techy Jaz?
The kid won his battle. The TT AD will lose his contract battle with Leach. Leach will win in the end, as he will get paid $1.6M to wait for the best available college football job over the offseason or next.

Would you want Missouri's coach to use the same tactics?

How is getting bought out of a $12.7 million contract for $1.6 million a victory?

As I stated earlier, if Adam James was as big a pain in the ass as illustrated AND he was unable to practice, why not excuse him until he was medically cleared to participate?

Please, explain to us HOW that wouldn't have been a better and more plausible option for Leach.

No, I'm an Arizona grad, and in fact the Wildcats will potentially lose Sonny Dykes, maybe the best coach on our staff, as a result of this.

I just see what Leach did as nothing particularly horrible (assuming what I suspect happened really did happen that way).

I'll be SHOCKED if an NCAA D-I school hires Leach as the head coach in the next 18-24 months.

Because you set up a scenario where being a pain in the ass gets you a different, and more 'free', set of rules than the rest of the kids. If the concussion was so bad that the kid couldn't even be at the practice, he should have gone to the infirmary or the hospital and gotten himself checked in, or at least gotten a doctor's note ordering him to stay in bed for a day or two.
