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.

Please, explain to us HOW that wouldn't have been a better and more plausible option for Leach.
Why are we asking if it your scenario would have been better? The question is if Leach deserved to be fired, not whether there were smarter ways he could have handled the situation.

I just see what Leach did as nothing particularly horrible (assuming what I suspect happened really did happen that way).
Ok thanks, I thought you were Wildcat.

Then the quick simple answer is YES, he deserved to be fired.

You're the one that keep rationalizing and justifying Leach's actions.

Let me put it to you in economic terms: If you're a TT Booster, especially a female TT Booster, are you going to continue to give money to the athletic department after a story like this breaks?

The answer is no.

I'll be shocked if Leach doesn't sue and take Texas Tech to the woodshed for a lil timeout.

Then you seriously undervalue the impact to a university with allegations such as these.

Well, first, if he holds the AD to the contract, the one he's trying to claim is voided by these actions, then Leach wins. Second, Leach will walk into a similar contract at any number of football programs within a year and half. The $1.6 M will be a bonus. He'll almost certainly get paid a 7 figure deal by someone in the media if he takes 2010 off. He's perfect for the media. He'll if i was him, I'd try to get a gig with ESPN just to piss off Craig James.

It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out legally. Both sides feel they are in the right here. TT has the resources but Leach can afford a more public fist-fight than TT wants.

I don't think it'll be possible. He was fired "with cause".

He's cooked.

So TT gets what they want, which is to get rid of Leach, for 1.6m instead of 12.5m and if Leach wants to recover any of that $ it will have to come from another school? Sound like TT wins hands-down in that scenario.

Yes, and now Leach's lawyers will sue to dispute that claim.

We'll see.

But I highly doubt it.

The odd thing is that Tech's AD has wanted to get rid of Leach for a while, and there hasn't been a reason that actually involves football.
