Mine is that once the Regents gather to discuss this - if they are as learned and bright as a group like this should be - their conclusion has to be... Fire Gerald Myers. He's the guy that created this by going public and getting pissed about the agent's letter. What else has he done? He hired Bobby Knight but he allowed his son to take over the program and lose whatever they had built up there. And now he's making Tech look buffoonery over this. Being vindicative, DECREASING one's benefits in a CONTRACT EXTENSION. Fire Gerald Myers and get some new blood in there to work with Leach and assess Pat Knight objectively. Hook'em!!!
is this thread supposed to be our suggestions or predictions? your post seems to be the former. they SHOULD keep leach. They WILL fire him this week.
Leach is gone. The overwhelming public attitude in Lubbock is that it needs to already have happened.The local radio shows are hour after hour of anti-Leach calls and he is getting ripped in the school newspaper.
Did you all see CFL today? Did it paint a good or bad picture of Tech? Did Leach participate in the show? Why would he do that if he truly wanted to be employed by said school? A divorce is coming and Mike wants it to be as ugly as it can possibly be. A quick reminder. He turned down $2.42mm per year BEFORE the 4 clauses were added and AFTER his trip to Washington. Mike no longer wants to be at Tech and Tech is gonna say "bye" on Friday.
Leach is gone, takes a year off. Tech wins five games next year, and struggles to maintain .500 ball for the rest of our respective lifetimes. Sonny Dykes is proclaimed "Head Coach for Life" at a salary of $41,500 per year. Leach never coaches at the Division I level again-takes over for Jerry Moore at Appalachian State and wins nine consecutive national championships. Tech loses academic accreditation in math, science, business, art, and architecture. Gerald resigns in disgrace, Kent Hance is dismissed, and GW Bush is hired as the new chancellor, completing his lifelong plan for vengeance against the only man to ever best him in a (fair) election. He runs for Mayor of Lubbock, is elected, and declares war on Plainview, Levelland, Slaton and Idalou. Tech merges with A&M to become Texas A&M-Lubbock. That's how I see it.
IF he is fired....he'll stay in the Big XII b/c people will be more willing to give him a shot....so... Leach goes to Colorado in eleven months after the fire danny hawkins... he reopens CU's California pipeline he insults the entire state of Nebraska by constantly making fun of polka music and corn fields he beats Bo and Nebraska and CU becomes an trendy annual pick to unseat the OU-Texas hegemony Boulder becomes a meatgrinder for visitors once again and Oklahoma State rejoices as the solid #3 in the South as sand aggy falls off a cliff aggy style or something like that
Unfortunately for Tech, no way Leach is coaching the team after Friday. He's obviously wanted another job, and he'll probably get it, after sitting out a year. Tech will hire a lesser coach, and once again be a much less interesting six or seven win per season team.
Should happen: figure it the hell out. Will happen: fire Leach. These guys have to know that firing Leach will mean hell to pay in Lubbock. The team will suffer, there best recruiting class ever will probably be given permission to transfer by the NCAA, and fans/donors will be pissed. Also, it isn't what the people in Lobbock think, it is what the big time donors think. I have no idea, but I would think they would want Leach to stay. Given the personal issues between Leach and Meyer/Hance I think he is gone, but if the rest of the beard knows their *** from a hole in the ground they will find a way to work it out.
perhaps there is value in considering why there is heavy pro mike leach sentiment here on this, a ut board, while the general consensus is the exact opposite in texas tech circles. maybe, just maybe, could it be that fans of another school might not be aware of all the factors surrounding the current goings on in lubbock?
always a little tipsy, Coach will punch out a student after a "hey Leach!!" incident caught on 4 cell phone cams. The student will be Japanese, causing an international incident.
Leach is gone. I can't see how they patch this up. They've got themselves into a pissing contest of sand aggy proportions. Why do I have a feeling that the pirate somehow ends up in College Station?
Leach will be axed, but already has another job lined up, so he can afford to play hardball. He will be seriously wooed by A&M, but they fail to come to terms when Leach demands the corps change unis to wear striped pants, a blousy shirt, one gold earring, an eye patch and a peg leg. After this falls through, Leach will become the next dread pirate Roberts.
