You guys must not have read or heard about this:

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoot...coaching-power

"In many ways, Leach hung himself. There were no terms of endearment when he constantly looked at other jobs and fought the administration over a salary extension. The man is as quirky, though, as he is brilliant. Having an academically deficient player study in freezing weather at the 50-yard line isn't weird, it's inhumane. Humiliating quarterback Taylor Potts was demeaning. Leach told Potts that his first name was not masculine enough and changed the player's jersey to read "Nick." Still, he got away with all of it until the James family complained. It doesn't matter what some Red Raiders think of Adam James' character or that his father Craig James might be a "helicopter dad." Abuse, even the perception of it, is a problem.

Yeah, coaching is different -- blah, blah, blah. But real life has to figure in there somewhere and a $4 million contract doesn't give you the keys to a university."

Leach sounds like a power-mad assshole.

You'll have to let him know he can never be a QB.

Just like Mangino wasn't really fired for poking a player in the chest with his finger, Leach wasn't really fired for making one player stand in a shed.

He was fired because he has continuously pissed off his employers, and they (1) decided they'd had enough of his shit, and (2) had an excuse to fire him.

Yes it is Well known about Craig James and SMU. Don't listen to everything you hear on ESPN. Dallas morning news just released emails from those at TTU claiming they planned to fire him at the end of the season back in March. There is more to the story than what the biased national media is reporting.

It doesn't take long to figure out who never had their hand in the dirt in this crowd.

LOL @ Dane sitting on the bench at Shawnee Mission Whatever. I'd need to see proof that you even did that much. Your "masculine" personality refutes such a claim.

It's ludicrous to fire any coach over circumstances like this. The kid is obviously an underacheiver, and it was reported that he had shown contempt for the coaching staff in the past, telling them that they didn't know "how to coach". His being segregated is the lightest punishment I think could be doled out, and it was only after he whined about the sunlight bothering him that it was done.

The kid is a pussy straight up. Everyone wants more playing time. The way to go about getting more is to work harder, not to sulk and complain to his daddy. Leach was doing something for him that his father apparently never did. Try to make a man of him, and make him accountable for his own actions.

Leach's firing had nothing to do with this incident. The administration already had it out for him, and this was just an excuse to act on it.

And if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Football is NOT for pussies, and weak minded individules. On any level. It's a combat sport, and thats why certain people find it to be offensive to their delicate sensibilites. These people should probably look into baseball as their primary source of sports entertainment. It's a gentlemans game.

Trust me, I won't need anyone.

This isn't some sort of bulletin board bullshit.

You're mouthy piece of shit.

You'd better go on a crash diet, old man.
