Mike Leach Suspended for bowl game

To bad we didn't snatch up the great pirate last year.

I'm surprised he didn't make this little James pansy walk the plank.

Welcome to years and years of 3-8 Tech.

Who cares how big the shed is? Leach confined him to a relatively small, dark area by himself and forced him to stand up for several hours. It's certainly not torture, but it's obviously just weird.

I don't care if the kid is a pantywaist and a slacker; it's beyond stupid this year to punish a kid whom doctors have identified as being legitimately concussed. Especially when you already have a crappy relationship with your bosses to begin with. I certainly don't think this by itself ought to be a firing offense, but if Leach does get the axe, it's going to be tough to feel very sorry for him. He walked up on the gallows and handed the AD the noose himself.

This was clearly about more than this concussion incident. Leach was insensitive, but disnt endanger the kid and definitely didn't care about the outcome once James complained.

....I can't wait to see who hires him.

I just saw the video. The shed and closet are huge. Not to mention I just read emails on cbssportsline's website from different people around the Tech program and they all say James is an entitled brat.

So that makes it okay? Are you kidding?

I'm sure Texas Tech has a training room where this young man could have received treatment. The kid had an F'ing concussion. Why put him anywhere other than a training room or something of that type? This was clearly a twisted form of discipline. I'm all for being stern when it's applicable. Discipline is not warrented for a player because he got hurt. Give me a freaking break!

My initial assumption was that Leach was an idiot for giving the university the rope to hang him -- I mean, shouldn't he be aware enough to know that they wanted him out? -- but the more you read about this the more it becomes apparent that Leach wanted out as much as they wanted him gone. The incident with the kid is the least of what's going on here, other than as a catalyst/excuse.
