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. |

You were right, I was wrong. It's too bad his career ended the way it did at Tech because he probably could have had the Miami job. |

Agent: Maryland hasn't contacted Leach
11:08 AM ET 12.19 | Multiple sources have indicated that former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is the likely top target of Maryland's coaching search and one report says he could be hired early this week. Leach's agent said Saturday that Leach has not been contacted by Maryland officials -- or any of the school's prominent boosters -- about replacing Ralph Friedgen. In fact, Gary O'Hagan discounted media reports that surfaced Friday that the 50-year-old Leach could be headed to College Park anytime soon. |

What a great hire though i'm not sure how much of a powerhouse Maryland can become. I don't understand why they fired the old coach.

All three are a "no-no" these days. Academics don't matter, nor do the number of guys you graduate. Wins are the bottom line factor, which is why a good dude like Randy Shannon was fired. |
