I concur. Not a smart decision in my opinion.

Too bad really ...

Leach will be difficult, if not impossible to replace with another excellent football coach. Apparently the TECH board are not willing to pay the going price of the GOOD/EXCELLENT coaches.

Sorry Texas Tech.

A lot of stuff fell into place for me when I watched the press conference with the Tech D coordinator. When they asked him if he'd like to be the head coach and did the "Double yes" thing (for those who don't know Texas Tech has a little colloquialism where they say Double T for Tech) it became clear. Tech wanted a company man that bled red and black. Leach, for all he did, wasn't a company man.

The Double Yes was the D Coordinator's way of saying, "Hey, I'm a company guy! Everything at Tech will ALWAYS be wonderful on my watch! Want to know what I think? Wait a minute! I'll ask the athletic director what I think and then I'll tell you!"
