Leach Fired

[3TrueFans]

I never said he couldn't tell him to, but I said there should be consequences, which there was so I guess the system works. I just think it's interesting how most people think there shouldn't be consequences, that's all.

It's hard to keep up with the facts vs. rumors of this story, is the part where he stationed someone outside the garage to make sure he didn't leave still true?

Why was he being punished again?

I ask, because Leach and his attorney has stated that it wasn't punishment.

 

[3TrueFans]

Actually you would would probably face significant punishment if your employer required a doctors note. Say you were gone for a week with, I dunno, the flu. You have a doctors note verifying this. Well you go to the doctor Monday and he says you are all clear. Then you head to work an tell your boss you cannot work. He then asks for verification and you have none. Do you think there would be no repercussions?

Do you have a link to the story that says he was cleared to practice on the day he was put in the shed? Like I said, hard to keep up with the ever changing "facts".

Looks like parents now run the show in Division 1 football now. The Mangino and Leach situations prove this. Kansas and Texas Tech have set very dangerous precedents by firing their coaches because of parents complaints. Welcome to the bottom of the Big 12 Texas Tech because that is where you will now be due to the firing of your most successful coach ever.

Don't compare these two situations. Mangino had numerous players coming out alleging personal attacks and had a player that had 2nd degree burns because of a punishment.

Leach had one kid come out with what I consider some pretty weak sauce but since his dad is a tv figure, he has him outted within a week.

Consequences for what? Those who fire someone unjustly?

We don't really know yet if he was fired unjustly do we?

Do we know he was justly fired? If not...

We know that he was "fired with cause" I guess.

We know that he was "fired with cause" I guess.

I disagree as to whether that is known at this point.

No I don't. I have tried to be careful and say if he was cleared. If he wasn't that changes things but I still don't think the punishment was very harsh.

I am not using ESPN for this situation, in fact, that should be staying away from this too. Definitely a conflict of interest. They should just report facts and be done with it.

Well we know that's what they said when they fired him. We won't know if that's wrong until the court case.

Bet you 5 bucks it doesn't get there. Out of court settlement heavily in Leach's favor.

That is why you should watch the Youtube video of his lawyer's walk around the practice facility before the judge "seals" it.

I don't know if I'd say it's in Leach's favor, anything that comes out of the settlement is going to be better financially for Tech than having to pay the rest of his contract. So either way, Leach is getting screwed, it's just a matter of how much.

Ok he was fired....now what happens???

I'd take that bet. I too think there will be a settlement but I'm not sure where it would be heavily in Leach's favor.

It's very likely that Tech used this situation as an excuse to fire him, but that doesn't mean that technically there wasn't cause to fire him.

That's like the thread about getting fired for playing fantasy football at the office that was on here before. Just because it could be treated with a slap on the wrist doesn't mean it isn't also cause for firing.

who cares if its not the whole contract. He can get a sizable check in the settlement, and then go land another job somewhere else.

Agreed. I kinda think if Meyer had decided to just step down for good and not leave it open - that would be a really good fit for both Leach and Florida.

As is, not sure what job he'd take right now. Best route may be to take a year off to beat the tar out of Tech in the courtroom and wait for a big job to open up for 2011.

You might have a point there.

Any positions that arent open now but might be open after a bowl game?
