LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech has fired football coach Mike Leach.

Liggett says the letter says Leach is "terminated with cause effective immediately."

Hance felt he had no choice but to fire Leach when the coach refused to write a letter apologizing for his actions against Adam James.

If I were Leach, hell would freeze over before I apologized to Adam James. In fact, "Cry-baby" James should have been kicked off the team before now...if you believe what the other players have said about him.

“While Mack Brown who is making five million dollars a year can only say “Their boys played their hearts out and they are a tough bunch and we wish them luck,” Coach Leach would say, “We lost because we played like crap and our players are paying to much attention to their fat girlfriends.”

This tub of lard is a fine one to be talking about people’s “fat girlfriends”.
