rarely have I desired this much to see an institution sink into the abyss. Jim Sowell, you are one arrogant son of a beotch.

Leach was canned as a result of plain old capitalism.

Heard Leach say on ESPN that his firing was a result of last year's bitter contract negotiations. Guess the dude was right...looks like TT may have to cough up more cash.

a lower priced HC. If they are lucky enough to find another good coordinator to take the job, best wishes on keeping him if he has any success.

LMAO. The Texas Tech people involved in this e-mail campaign should all be fired for stupidity.

Unbelievable.

My favorite was when Hance said on ESPN to the effect of using unruly punishment was not something that TTU stood for and that Leach had crossed the line putting James in a cold, dark electrical closet. However, this was the same guy who hired Bobby Knight who had just gotten fired from IU when the video surfaced of him choking a player in practice. I think a cold closet is a lot less punishment than jacking a kid up by his throat. To me, Craig James, Adam James, and the whole TTU upper management has come across like little crybaby wussies who don't like someone who refuses to be their little minions. Maybe they'll hire Mangini since they liked him so well in the emails...oh wait, he verbally abused players too. Give me a break. Don't tell anyone that Mullen made his "hurt" players work out for hours straight in "the pit" while they were hurt and rarely got any fluids. Adam would have really been crying at MSU.

side in the James controversy I have to admit the story being told in those emails is one of bad faith negotiations by his agents. It makes me think a little less of Mike. I still hope he screws TT for every dine he can get though.

Nothing liberal, socialist or politically correct about those emails. Nothing but cold hard business.

Well....A&M doesn't exactly have a stellar track record of hiring football coaches lately.

They pay him more than Texas and KSU pay coaches who have actually won and competed. His boy Sherman probably has a $/win record comparable to his buddy Crooms.
