Lubbock Texas- Texas Tech, Today the University of Texas Tech has fired the once fan favorite football coach Mike Leach after the school investigated an alleged mistreatment towards wide receiver Adam James, according to the AP source Mike Leach held the wide receiver in a dark room after the player suffered a mild concussion. In addition to the allegations several players on the team have since spoken out against the coach saying they felt at peace without the coach's presence in addition many claiming the wrong doing of their teammate dead wrong and that they were almost glad the coach had gotten fired however at the same time many of the previous alumnus, ex-players and ex-football coaches spoke otherwise in coming to the coaches defense. Now this is all happening in my opinion so fast that Am second guessing both sides, to me its sort of like a personal vendetta between the school and Mike Leach, from what i understand the school wants to be the good school ( look after our student athletes) type while on the other hand Mike Leach wants to portray himself as the good innocent victim coach sounds like a fight between me and my little sister where its finger pointing with he started no she started leading my mom to intervene.Well now Leach has gone as far as hiring an attorney to file a restraining order against the school to allow him to coach the Alamo Bowl game in which the school regardless fired him before the hearing anyway which begs the question what is this really all about? I'll tell what its about money, money , money and money....in this difficult economic times employers are looking for any little reason to fire an employee to save salary expense and cut down on their payroll. I mean that's my opinion besides that i just can't see other reasons for all this drama neither side is getting a victory out of this because think about it prior to this happening Texas Tech gave Mike Leach an extension in his contract five-years worth $12.7 million with the football team ranked high and mighty. Since then the school has finished 8-4, 5-3 in conference play perhaps the Red Raiders didn't anticipate such a drop off especially after having a monster season in '08 where they went 11-2 a couple of breaks from being national champions. So it seems to me after a drop-off in performance Texas Tech unwilling to keep the lucrative contract with the coach and more importantly pay him the $ 800,000 due if he were to have coached the Alamo Bowl, so now of'course with a lot of money ( theirs that word again money) involved Leach is deciding to get legal with the matter, in no time have i heard any news or information that WR Adam James has been admitted to the hospital neither besides emotionally injured. This sort of reminds me of the Ex-Kansas JayHawks Coach Mangini, another coach fired on supposedly abuse on players but then again maybe the players are being treated wrongfully or is it just theses schools bank accounts in jeopardy here..??
