This isn’t a very popular opinion in Red Raider land, but Leach deserved to get fired.
James may be a arse, but Leach deserved everything he got. He’s one of those coaches who blamed everyone except for himself for losses. His players, his coaches, the referees, the fans...they were all blamed at one time or another for losses.
Not a coach that deserves respect.
Whether Leach deserved to get fired or not has nothing to do with James actions as a high profile member of the media. Regardless of the outcome of this case (and I think he’ll lose) James will never again have a high profile job in sports broadcasting.
Don't forget the "fat girlfriends."
