I suppose if you had a raider playing ball you'd support being locked in an electrical closet for three hours?

Happed at about 10:30 this am
From what I've heard, he was not "locked" in a closet. He was sent to the media room to stay out of bright lights because of a concussion. That story is way overblown because of the high profile of the kid's father.
But if they fired Leach, that is Tech's lose. This from a school that hired and supports Bobby Night? Leach will be coaching at a major university is short order.

Yeah, this whole thing is awfully fishy.
Other players on the team publically saying that this kid is a Punk with no drive or work ethic... Dad is a PITA parent always at the games who feels his kid is entitled because of who HE is... 10 years at Texas Tech with not 1 single problem. Also, this was approved by the Trainer?.... why is the trainer not fired?
I think Leach is a little "Off" but i don't believe this to be true. For the school to fire him so fast with no investigation is odd. If i were the Boosters i would not be donating anymore. Now they are going to have to deal with a new coach and their growing pains and 3-5 years of "these aren't my players for my style of coaching" and losing all those seasons.
Unreal. I don't believe he did this.

I was thinking when I was riding bulls and playing football when someone suffered a concussion you would not subject them to bright light or loud surroundings. But hey what do I know!

From talking to a buddy of mine that is in Law School at Tech, this was just the straw the broke the camels back. I guess some people in high places dont like some of his antics.
I wonder if it was someone's "fat little girlfriend"???
this may not be an isolated incident. hear a rumor a few months back during the regular season that one of the players from el paso was not attending class. his punishment was to stand in the middle of the field with his books in the rain for hours. i can't confirm the truth to this. sometimes coaches have to punish players. in this case though it appears to be uncalled for. he was recovering from a concussion he didn't do something wrong.

Some of you need to man up.
This kid was a POS with a Daddy in semi-high places. ESPN is not giving Leach the time of day.. its total one sided BS that we ALL see being fans of guns.
Have you guys seen these "Closet's"?
THIS is where he was.... Give me an effin' break

I guess unfair and bias reporting has moved into my sports just like the everyday media. Does ESPN not realize how stupid and biased they look in this. Even as of right now other media including FoxSports and CBS have quoted players and other coaches on both sides of this story. Yet, ESPN continues to run with the one sided story that attemps to make the James' look unblemished. I'm an Aggie so I don't really care about Tech football, but come on MAN!!! Report the facts and both sides please.

That's 799,999 financially motivating reasons to fire him today...
Actually there is a 10 day buffer clause in his contract. It's very possible Tech will have to pay him to go away.
Freakin witch hunt! They showed the supposed shed and electrical closet on TV just 10 minutes ago. BS move on the schools part to avoid paying a lot of money owed to Leach.
