Re Adam james: "He's lazy, there's a sense of entitlement, pretty well documented by teammates and position coaches. Would never work hard and would fall back on his father any time he wasn't playing."
Re Craig James: "Called coaches, position coaches, both of them, administrators at school or come to campus to discuss on your son and playing time, Craig James required more time than all other players combined."
Also has statement from doctor that said nothing done to James was detrimental to him.
Still pissed off PING!
thanks!
PING!
Leach stating the obvious. I’m shocked ESPN even had this interview. Bet Craig James flies well below the radar now. ESPN should fire James, plain and simple.
I can hardly wait!
As the parent of a Tech grad and a huge football fan, I hope he puts the James family in their place!
Is the FOX video available online? Leach has every right to be pissed. I hope the Alamo Bowl crowd shows their disdain, including throwing stuff at Adam James on the sidelines. If James is even close to the stands, you can bet he’ll be called every name in the book- and cry to daddy about it.

Im glad Leach’s side is getting airtime now. I was becoming more and more disillusioned by ESPN’s biased coverage. I knew when it first was announced that the player was Adam James that Leach was being thrown under the bus by the Mr. Craig James or “death penalty” James and Gerald Myers who had it out for him for awhile. A perfect storm I guess.
Sad Tech grad ‘92
Surely Adam wont play. Craig James was supposed to announce, he is not any longer.
He isnt’ playing, but he will likely be on the sidelines. The smart move is to keep him off the field altogether.
Agree !
This is total BS !
Gerald Myers should be run out of town on a rail.
When this is over Daddy James should be canned by ESPN. Incredible abuse of power, and in the meanwhile he’s instilled that entitlement attitude in his son, basically ruining the kid. And some TT administrative heads should roll, too.
The truth will eventually emerge and hopefully justice will be done. The following is a link to photos of the ‘shed’ and ‘closet’ in which James was sent to after complaining of light hurting his eyes. There weren’t small cramped enclosures as the James gang seemed to allude to.

Video of local TV station interviewing Leach’s attorney and showing the rooms James was kept in - definitely NOT a dark shed as James alleged.

Seems pretty obvious James is lying is ass off.
I saw that two days ago. Yet, as of yesterday morning, ESPN radio was STILL using the shed/electrical closet lie. There’s no doubt in my mind ESPN is getting hammered with emails/calls about their biased coverage in this.
The truth always comes out. The administration and Craig James is going to have a lot of egg on their face on this one.
Leach will end up coaching in a better situation with a bigger contract. TT will end up having a ho-hum program and Adam James will be a distant memory.
What a mess of programs.
