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
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.

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".
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."
In a room where he couldn't even sit down?

Agreed. If the allegations are true, he deserved to be fired. That's a big "if" though.
This is interesting:

I'm not sure either of those locations is a training room, which I'm sure they have at Texas Tech. Something else was afoot, other than treating an injured player.
And no, I don't care how big a jerk Adam James may have been while at Tech, a kid with a concussion shouldn't be sent to either of those locations.

I don't know. To me an important question is: was the player put in harms way by the actions of the coach? And I haven't seen anything yet to convince me that he was. The attorney mentioned that a doctor said that it was actually a good thing that the player was resting in the room(s). IF that's true I'd consider that pretty important. I think it's safe to say that this is far from over but there has to be more to this or my amateur opinion is that the university is in trouble.
The garage is a little disturbing, but the other room had tv's in it. Times have changed, in my day (70's) you were still required to show up for practice and stand around and help the coaches. Of course, if you count the number of fingers they held up, your ass was back in there.
Wrong question.
Was the best thing for the injured player done for the injured player?
That is the only question.
