I'd say this is weird, but everything Mike Leach does or says isn't exactly normal. The Washington State head football coach is holding a rally outside of Texas Tech's Stadium Saturday before their game vs. Iowa State to get the $2.5 million they owe him after firing him eight years ago. Per Yahoo Dr. Saturday...

quote:
Leach, the former Red Raider coach and current Washington State coach, was fired from the school after the 2009 season thanks to a brouhaha involving Adam James, the son of former SMU running back Craig James and Leach’s treatment of him after the tight end had a concussion.

Two days after he was suspended, Leach was fired Dec. 30, just before he was set to get a guaranteed payout from the school per his contract.

Leach has tried to get the money he feels he’s owed. But he can’t. So after tweeting about his frustrations with Texas Tech this year, he wants people to air their grievances in person rather than on social media. Friday, he encouraged people to attend a rally in support of him before Texas Tech’s game at home vs. Iowa State.

I wonder if Craig James is going to hold a rally at espn to get his job back.

Clearly Texas Tech does not owe him LEGALLY otherwise he would just have his attorney handle this. Leach is choosing to handle it this way because his only chance of getting paid is to create a PR nightmare for the university and hope they pay him to shut up and go away. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Has something to do with a lawsuit against a gov't entity. Why he cant go this normal route. I believe he is a lawyer too or at least smart enough to act like one. Ha.

Texas Tech claimed Sovereign Immunity so he can't get it legally. Leach isn't even allowed to argue it in court

I think its funny that he thinks the fans care if he gets paid or not.

He should be focused on winning games at WSU
