MIKE LEACH fired by Texas Tech

Texas Tech took the compulsory step of firing MIKE LEACH "for cause" from his position as head football coach this morning. This seemed inevitable after the school suspended LEACH pending an investigation into the treatment of Tech player Adam James, who suffered a concussion and was allegedly placed in a confined area twice by the coach. This ends a long strange relationship between Tech and LEACH who last year, after much squabbling, entered into a new 5 year 12.7 million dollar contract that was set to run through 2013. LEACH was due an eight hundred thousand dollar bonus if still employed on Dec 31 2009. This firing seems to come at a convenient time for the university. A legal battle will definitely ensue between LEACH and the Texas Tech. Here is the official statement from the University.
