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. |

If Leach comes up with one neurologist that states that as part of treatment for a concussion, a player should avoid bright light, heat and excessive exercise, he'll be laughing alongside Mangino all the way to the bank.

Not sure Leach's attorneys will let him play the "I'm qualified to administer medical treatment because I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express" role.

Alot of it seems to go back to the Contract re-negotiations in February. Alot of bad blood still left with how Gerald Myers handled the situation. There has been reports around the time of "twittergate" that there was a huge personalities clash between the AD, Leach, and the University President.

Some on Raiderpower said they aren't even going to make the trip. I heard that the atmosphere in Lubbock is like Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped. Kinda glad I'm not there.

I don't believe that it's anything to do with the concussion persay, but if the kid said the light was hurting his eyes, then how could putting him in a quiet dark room NOT be helping to alleviate his discomfort?

Don't read the above as saying I neccessarily agree with what Leach did, but I don't think it's the "POW treatment" that some are making it out to be.

Considering Craig James history with SMU.. I have a real hard time believing anything his family says.

They did Leach a favor. I highly doubt he would field a better team than that one that beat Texas (07 was it?), while at TT.
Being a former D1 athlete, it makes me sick that some pre-madonna, lazy, POS got a great HC fired. |

The one who sucks the penis shouldn't question the health of the very people whose bodies he exploits to get his preposterously inflated paycheck.
