Texas Tech Coach Mike Leach Given a 5pm Deadline

what a trainwreck on the heels of a great season.

 

Unbelievable...

 

agreed. wonder if he'll end up anywhere next season.

 

Yup. Tech and Leach are a perfect fit for each other. Leach is a great coach, but the reality is that his personality just won't fit at a lot of schools. He's turned Tech into a legit program on the national stage, just a step below all the perennial powers (USC, Texas, OU, LSU, Ohio State, etc). Tech isn't going to find a better coach and Leach isn't going to find a better fit of a school.

 

i'm guessing tech realizes that, but they're just tired of leach looking elsewhere.

 

I love Leach as a coach. But if he can’t make a long term commitment we need to look else where. It's like a dating a girl for years if she’s not ready for marriage after year’s together you gotta look elsewhere.

I hope they come to an agreement but if not I have no problem letting him go tomorrow.

 

Then you're an idiot. As a Tech alum, I pray it doesn't come to this. The only reason we're relevant is because of Mike Leach. We're actually fun to watch, and can knock off anyone at any time really. Without Leach, we're struggling to bring in recruits with no big attraction (i.e. Leach's offense).

 

We lost recruits this year b/c of Leach's contract mess. (Probably the cotton bowl as well)...And one of our top assistants/recruiters last week. How long do we let the guy hold the program hostage?

Leach is 3-15 on the road versus ranked teams to say we can knock off any one at anytime is not accurate. We can knock off anybody off at home which is the case for any middle of the road college football program.

I agree Leach is a good coach/entertaining but if he doesn’t want to be here than you look elsewhere. That being said I hope there is an agreement tomorrow but if not I won't be to upset.

Since Leach has been in Lubbock, A&M has sucked ****. A&M has to be happy with Leach leaving.

PS - Will Tech release the recruits who signed for Leach two weeks ago?

 

A&M was really only good for a very short period of time

 

It's been interesting to hear the shift in opinions in our listeners over the past few weeks during the Leach Contract Saga.

Many Tech fans are siding with the administration in this matter and are tired of Leach shopping himself to any school with a high-profile opening.

On the other side of the ledger are Tech fans like LongTimeFan that think Leach is the end-all, be-all, and that the program will fall to the bottom of the Big XII if Leach is gone.

The one thing people fail to realize in all of this drama is that Tech Chancellor Kent Hance is a no nonsense type of guy and since he has set a deadline, if it isn't met, there will be action.

We're about 24 hours away from the deadline, and I think a lot of Tech fans are preparing for the worst.....

 

Say what you want. Personally, I expect a deal to be ironed out, and I think Tech will have egg on their face if they can't come up with a good package.

 

Tech and Leach are perfect for each other and I think they know it, I expect that they reach a deal by the deadline.

 

Tech, a school that hadn't done diddly-dick since Leach came on board, would be a lot of damnedable fools to let him walk.

The man built the house, give him the keys to the front door FFS.

 

The longer this continues, the happier I am that UW didn't seriously pursue him as had been reported.

 

Hit Mike Leach up on the low 806-789-8305

 

As a UT fan, I hope Leach leaves, Tech would die a quick and painful death.

He is a great coach for a midsized school like Tech.
