Default OT: Texas Tech fires Mike Leach

I'm not entirely sure about what happened here, but needless to say most fans of Texas Tech are on Leach's side.

Granted, it's unlikely to happen, but given what Leach has been able to do with the players Texas and Oklahoma didn't want (*cough* Wes Welker *cough*), I wonder what he could do with the talent on the Patriots roster. . . .

Lock them in closets?

Waterboard them?

I'm not sure Randy Moss would react well to that.

I wonder if Belichick would have survived here if it had come out he had locked Ted Johnson in a closet as punishment.

I wonder if Leach has room for Mangini in his closet of doom?

In all seriousness, Leach is an effin cold blooded moron if what Adam James says is true.

To be fair, it wasn't a closet or a shed.

Also, Leach apparently didn't get along well with TPTB at Texas Tech; on ESPN Colin Cowherd pointed out that the scuttlebutt about his latest contract extension was that they felt forced to give it to him in order to keep him.

And, as far as performance goes, he did take them to a bowl game every season, and won almost 2/3 of his games without the talent that the top Big 12 schools get.

According to the New York Times and local media, it's not:

Quote:
While early reports said that James was locked in a “closet” and a “shed,” those were later found to be exaggerations. A television report in Lubbock showed that James was put in a large equipment garage and a room where visiting media conduct interviews after the games.

Don't bag on Randy my man. He doesn't need waterboarding to produce. All he needs in Bill to look at him cross eyed. Moss is very emotional and loves Belichick like a father. When daddy sent him home from practice it hurt his feeling. He thought he let his family down. He was in a funk that week and played terrible.

One week later and a pep talk from Tommy we had our WR back. With 3 TD's against the Jags Randy and Brady look to be hitting their stride at the perfect time.

1) I was kidding about the "closet" and "waterboarding". However, it doesn't matter whether it was the Superdome if he was locked into it and not allowed freedom to leave.

2) There's no denigrating his performance. But Bobby Knight was a winner also - - he still got fired for puttings his hands around a kid's neck.

3) Everyone who follows football knows the #1 issue hanging over the sport today is the concussion issue. Leach touched the third rail and got electrocuted. Bad timing for him.

I love #81. I have his back and was right here defending him three weeks ago. He's been nothing but a good soldier here.
