Exactly.

Also, Mike Leach wasn't acting as the parent of a child. He was the coach of an adult, grown-*** MAN. This wasn't a 10 year old Pop Warner football kid. This was a 20 something who was on a full ride scholarship. And for Christ's sake, he was, AT WORST, placed in a dark room for an hour knowing full well he would be let out quickly.

Leach was rail roaded out of TTU because Craig James got mad about his whiny, spoiled, lazy son's lack of playing time.



Mike Leach Drinking Game?

Hell yes!

According to the emails he put in his book and deposition the worst thing he did, and this is a stretch, was put a kid with a concussion diagnosed by the trainers in the darkest coolest spot around. When I put that up against standing out in the West Texas sun, that seems pretty nice.

What the hell, I have time. I'll just give a quick rundown of facts for the sake of actually having the facts and not what ESPN reported.

-Team rule was you come to practice in your pratice gear even if not practicing
-James showed up in street clothes with a hat and sunglasses on
-Trainers told Leach he needed to be somewhere in the shade
-Closet was the closest and it was by the ice machine
-Door wasn't locked
-Adam stated he sent the video to his dad because he thought he would think it was funny
-Numerous players and coaches made statements regaurding James' attitude being less than positive.

The kid was tied up and locked in a closet with a sock in his mouth and a dog bowl of water set beside him like James wanted everyone to believe. Leach may have tried to prove a point but the kid wasn't harmed at all.

Craig James is an insufferable *****.

Let's be honest....Mangino was fired mostly because of his weight and appearance. If he looked like Gene Chizik he would still be coaching at KU IMO. They wanted an excuse to get rid of him and they found one.

I would have no problem hiring Mike Leach if my team was interested. He didn't do anything that bad.


If that is the case how did he get the job in the first case. If that is the real reason he was fired I hope KU goes 1-11 for the next 25 years. The man won at KU, something that is not easy to do.

If Leach goes to KU I am scared for our recruiting and our team in general. He could very well steal recruits out of Iowa with the prospect of coming to another Big 12 school that also has a history of excellence. My face if Leach gets hired>> :(

Not sure Leach will ever find employment as a head coach again. While I personally don't think what he did was a big deal, I am sure that it's going to be difficult to place him in charge of college kids in this age of helicopter parents.

Didn't Rhoads and co. bring in Leach to speak this past off-season?


Yeah. And he also told some of the staff members that he knows for a fact that Chizik paid Cam Newton and apparently he really dislikes Chizik.

Leach is a good guy in my book. I just don't want him at KU.
