If Texas Tech was so worried about their players’ personal safety, how come they hired Bobby Knight as their basketball coach? He’s the real bastion of kindness and player empathy. That’s kind of a joke really.
Mike Leach may be a stubborn guy, but I find it hard to believe that Texas Tech would have worried about this that much if it wasn’t for three factors: 1) The contract negotiations last year which were heated, 2) the 8-4 record this year, which allowed them to look for something to find negative about Leach and use it against him and 3) that Craig James, a high profile guy, complained for his baby boy. I just don’t believe that Texas Tech is being forthright in their explanation. There’s a lot more behind the scenes than this coach abused his player, which, in my opinion, is not true.
