[...] Fired by Texas Tech in 2009 after allegations that he had “abused” a player of a previously prominent college football “analyst” surfaced, Leach spent two years away from coaching as he sued his former employer for wrongful termination. Hired by Washington State in late November of 2011, and in the midst of what would become a three-win season, Leach was again accused of the “physical, emotional and verbal abuse“ of a player, allegations which were knocked down — for now — by a two-pronged investigation on the part of both Wazzu and the Pac-12.

Myers will be fired, the new AD (Mike Leach) will hire Mike Leach back. Piece of cake. Oh, and, incidentally, Craig James will lose his cush gig w/ ESPN once all the facts come out and they realize the “little league dad” is behind this mess. That is all.

Would any higher level coach consider Tech after what the administration has done to Leach?
Answer: Yes, but I will feel sorry for the Texas taxpayers when the amount of money it took to get a new coach to accept coaching at Tech under the current University leadership becomes public!
