Not sure how much of this story I believe, but he did do a good job down there in Lubbock.

I think Leach got hosed, but I think some part in him wanted out of Lubbock.
What I do find interesting is that the player in question is ESPN's Craig James. I really believe that ESPN had a tremendous slant to the reporting. They even went as far as to interview James. I think that may have been the ultimate undoing of Leach.
He's out but he may get a big payday out of this if the university didn't do a thorough enough investigation and the charges don't hold up.Originally Posted by bucksfan2
Lawyers are going to make some money out of this (there is always a silver lining).
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
Starting with Mike Leach who apparently is a lawyer himself.
Being a lawyer, he should know better (assuming the allegations are accurate).
Stick to your guns.
Yeah, asking the trainer what is best for a player recovering from a concussion, and having a doctor's name clearing him (Leach), he should have known better........This is a witch hunt, started by a daddy who is ticked his kid isn't playing as much as he thinks he should, and nothing more.
Another program bullied by an ESPN witch-hunt.
If he actually did what Adam James alleges, he should have been fired.
The reverse witch-hunts are fun, too.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Good luck finding a coach as good as Leach. It won't be easy.
What, you mean that they aren't beating the doors down to live in Lubbock, TX?
I would think that Hal Mumme would be available.
The details would be really really interesting. From what I have heard Leach required everyone to be at practice. One day a kid wasn't allowed to practice because of his grades. Leach made him carry his desk out onto the 50 yard line and do home work.
What I do find interesting is if James had a concussion and was unable to practice and was supposed to stay out of sunlight then what is wrong with sending him into an air conditioned room/shack? Where is the medical staff to step in and say "you can't do that".
In a room where he couldn't even sit down?
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Agreed. If the allegations are true, he deserved to be fired. That's a big "if" though.
Got ask you this...what specific allegation is the reason you think Leach should be fired?
If he purposefully didn't seek the best possible medical treatment for an injured player, yeah, that would be enough. The fact that it sounds like he acted like an ass when confronted with this when confronted by his bosses doesn't help.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
