Fulmer a Lock to TTU.

I hope not. As much as it was his time to go, I still appreciate and respect the man for what he did here. It would be very sad to see him go to TT and get humiliated twice a year by Texas and OU.

No rings, but as many bowl games under Leach than all coaches combined....according to ESPN.

Lubbock is a hard place to win.....not easy to get recruits to fly in by puddle jumper into isolated West Texas.

People talk about him like he's a championship coach...like he's the brightest offensive mind of our generation.

The guy's a career 8-4 coach. There are plenty of those scattered throughout college football.

Mike Leach is a very intelligent man, very weird but intelligent. Watch for him to sue texas tech for wrongful termination and win.

He'll sue...and they'll probably settle.

They guy had a strained relationship with Tech's athletic department for a long time anyway.

They didn't want him there...but, after going 11-2 last year, they didn't have much choice but to keep him around.

It was time to cut the cord anyway...this just served as a convenient excuse.

So I just jumped in, How many times has Fulmer been mentioned? And whats the over under, I'll go over....

He'd be suing for breach of contract, not for wrongful termination. Local/state politics will be involved so he'll probably lose at the trial level. Settlement is likely, as in 90%+ of all lawsuits filed in this country.

Funny how he had no due process...this should be a warning against taking on any relative of an ESPN analyst. TT fired him before the court hearing, because they were going to come out on the losing end of it and it would cost them $800K. TT decided to save itself $800,000 and will probably never see a bowl game again. I wish I would have bet on the Alamo bowl now. TT will lose by 30+ at least.

Leach is a werido, but to fire someone solely on a disgruntled players word and not give due process is a little scary.

On a fluke play with Michael Crabtree. Other years against Texas:

2005 (w/o Crabtree): L 17-52
2006 (w/o Crabtree): L 31-35
2007 (w/ Crabtree): L 43-59
2009 (w/o Crabtree): L 24-34
