Texas Tech coach fired

[Midnight Flyer]

Just announced on Fox Sports and the AP that Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach has been fired effective immediately for allegedly mistreating a player. This is kinda shocking since Leach is bringing the Red Raiders football program back from near death. Receiver Adam James alleges Leach twice confined him to small, dark spaces after practice after James suffered a concussion. Tech plays Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl this Saturday. Comments anyone?

Total BS story by the kid and TT will rue the day they let Leach get away. Why would the kid allow himself to be locked into a closet, twice, without fighting back? They did not put a gun to his head to make him do it. From what I've heard the fanbase in Lubbock is looking for a good ol fashioned lynching of the James boy's. Former players and coaches paint a different picture and apparently a doctor was in the mix as to what to do with him. Again, why would he allow them to lock him in when he could have told them where to shove it and went back to his dorm? This is his 3rd year removed from high school, he is eligible for the NFL draft now so he could have left and then declared. For his sake he better declare and get the heck out of town as fast as he can.

How stupid!! They just fired the best coach Tech has ever had!!
Adam James needs to grow up! Big deal. I hope the whole school jumps that little brat!

Leech has to realize who James' daddy is. Craig gets paid to go on TV and talk about ummmmmm lets see maybe a little sport called COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Leech should have this in the back of his mind when dealing with the younger James. Who the F--K locks a kid in a room after a head injury. This is 2010 right? Dumb azz doctor.

The doctor would advise you to put him in a dark area if he has a concussion because sunlight aggravates the symptoms. But as an added benefit, that shed was probably not accessible to any fat little girlfriends.
