    Man did this thread go to hell. If you want to talk about Leach there are other threads for that.

    Off topic, but thats debatable. Sounds like Texas Tech wanted him gone way before this stuff came out. Makes me question everything.

    Maybe one of the mods could move the Leach posts to another thread? This story is too juicy to ignore, so I will add my own two cents worth..

    SD may be correct about TT wanting Leach gone--but you have to wonder why? Big time football schools don't often make up reasons to fire coaches who have brought unprecedented success and money to the institution.

    Leach appears to have committed two fundamental errors. First, his actions have brought bad publicity--even disgrace to the institution. Second, he refused to fall on his sword. He reacted to his suspension by bringing a lawsuit against his employer. Few bosses will take kindly to that!

    I'm quite sure that the "truth" has multiple facets. I suspect that Adam James is a somewhat spoiled rich kid with questionable work ethic and a meddling big shot father. Still, it is WRONG to punish injured players and in this case the punishment sounds more like hazing than anything else.

    Leach doesn't deny the basic facts that have been reported, he just doesn't see anything wrong with his actions! Smells like a case of "Bobby Knight Syndrome": one who holds everyone else to the highest standard of behavior, but makes excuses for acting like a jackass himself.

    I doubt that very much. This kind of thinking and behavior doesn't suddenly appear out of the blue.

    Even if it WAS a first incident, it definitely deserves a suspension. Reacting to a suspension by calling in the lawyers would intolerable to almost any employer.

    Leach didn't handle this very well, that is obvious. But I do feel sorry for him, sounds like this kid is nothing but a spoiled brat and ESPN should be ashamed of themselves for the way they covered this.

    Then why all of a sudden the turn against that "attitude" from TTU? They obviously don't mind since they hired Knight as well...
