The only evidence is the AD hates Mike Leech, well I wonder how he'll like finishing behind Baylor now

Sounded like the kid had been in trouble in the past for his work ethic and two days after his last run in he came up with a concussion. Was also stated on ESPN last night that the school stands to save a load of cash if he does not finish the season and if they were looking to unload him anyways, this was an opprotunity to save face and money by using this to can him. That on top of the kids dad working for ESPN and maybe being worried about bad press leaves me thinking the coach is probably getting screwed. They should all be flushed with the rest of that big old turd we all call Texas.

I agree with sprint guy. Sounds like the kid was trouble, spoiled and do you know who my daddy is type. The kid also doesnt realize that he just sunk his own college career too.

I haven't heard the coach deny what happened. Are you guys saying you are ok with what he did?

You haven't heard the other side of the story because it is legally in his best interest to keep his mouth shut. He's a pretty smart fellow.

I don't think what he did was okay, but I think he had plenty of reasons to punish the kid.

Im not saying I know anything either way. I was giving my opinion based on the ESPN interview that was on TV the night before this thread was posted. In the interview a statement from an assistant coach was read stating the kid was trouble. Do I think the kid was a pain in the ass? If the coaches statements are true then yes I do belive he is. I totally believe his dad using his postion at ESPN was classless and made him look like a punk right along with his kid. The report that TT stands to save over 3/4 million to shed the coach also makes you suspicious as to why a guy would be considered guilty and fired before much of an investigation has been completed.

Now the team trainer has confessed that, contrary to one of leech,s lackey assistant coaches earlier statements that the kid was faking a concussion, that the team doctor actually did diagnose the kid with a concussion, I dont believe anything Leech,s bootlicker assistants say, I remember seeing TT play Navy in a bowl game a few years back and the Tech kids actually taunted the Navy kids by forming a circle and pretending to throw a hand grenade in the middle and the all fell backward, that told me all I needed to know about what kind of coach and gutter program that was.
