Leach In Trouble At Texas Tech

UNTFan23 · December 29, 2009

Fueled by UNT's win over Ball State I went out and bought NCAA 10... that poor little game has not been out of it's case since the FAU game.

Admit it, you can lead our team to victory more often than Dodge.

And I have no trouble getting a top 10 recruiting class year in and year out....I don't understand why Dodge can't do the same!!!

In all fairness, my strength and conditioning coach beefed up Rodge's arm before the season began. He also worked with Outlaw on his hands....

What is the problem? Is sitting in a closet for three hours abusive? Much ado about nothing is my feeling.

Throw in a flashlight, nudey mag, and some hand lotion and you pretty much have my early teen years.

Are you telling us you abused yourself and need to be reported?

Latest development has Leach filing a restraining order to allow him to coach in the Alamo Bowl. Where do you think Leach will be next year - East Carolina, Seton Hall, Tampa Bay, Oakland, Somalia???

Going to 99th district court tomorrow. Wonder where the Judge received his law degree.

EDIT: The Honorable William C Sowder received his law degree from Baylor School of Law. BUT....

And this is the interesting part. He received his undergrad from... Texas A&M... TTech's biggest rival... Well, at least if you ask TTech fans.

A restraining order may not matter. Tech has 800,000 rea$ons to fire Leach, for cause, by Dec. 31; and many think they will. :pirate:

Do mediocre football programs rake in the big rea$ons?

A bit more indepth report. Excuse me if this has been posted already.

A person close to the inquiry told the AP that James spent two hours Dec. 17 in a shed the size of a one-car garage that was filled with coolers and the player was "caught" sitting down on one. All the coolers were removed, the person said, and the door to the shed was closed with James inside.
On Dec. 19, James was taken to an electrical room but the buzz was too loud, so he was taken to a press room where all the furniture was removed and he was told not to sit down, the person said.

In an e-mail written to the school on Dec. 26 that was obtained Tuesday by Schad and ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach, current Tech inside wide receivers coach Lincoln Riley referred to James as "unusually lazy and entitled" and said he has been worried about James' effect on the rest of the receivers because of "his weak and conceited attitude."
In a separate e-mail to the Texas Tech AD, Riley wrote: "Two practices before Adam James claimed he had a concussion, Coach Leach and I were forced to discipline him for poor effort from the previous practice and poor effort during the early drills of that day. This has been a common theme about Adam's work ethic and attitude during his entire career."
Texas Tech players, speaking to reporters Tuesday for the first time since Leach was suspended, declined to discuss the incident or James. Cornerback LaRon Moore called Leach "different" but said the coach only wants the best from his players.
"He goes about it an unconventional way," Moore said. "But all he wants to do is push us, and we've talked about it with the coaches. That's just his way of doing it. He tries to push us, tries to make us better and tries to make us men and get the best of our ability out of us."

James played behind former Texas Tech wide receiver Eric Morris, who defended Leach on Tuesday and said his former coach would never jeopardize the well-being of his players.
Morris, who graduated last year, described the electrical closet inside the stadium as a roomy enough space where the visiting media gathered for interviews after games. Morris said Leach mostly relegated injured players to what the team knew as "Muscle Beach" -- an area beside the practice field where those not healthy enough to play did strength and conditioning work.
Morris said Leach liked to keep injured players close so they could encourage their teammates and not "just be sitting around inside doing nothing."
