Don’t be fooled by this guy. He was fired because of his very public role in the dismissal of Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. James used his position as an ESPN analyst to wage a negative PR campaign against Leach for alleged mistreatment of his son, a backup TE for the Red Raiders. His career in sportscasting is over unless he wants to read updates for the local radio station in Dubuque. They might hire him but otherwise he’s done.
I still despise this guy for that.
According to the texts of the communication, it was his view on gay marriage. What is your basis for your assertion?
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.
