For what it is worth, here are some observation having
dealt with Tech for 20+ years that I owned or was involved with KLLL radio here
in Lubbock. I know the casts of characters has changed over the years, but the
basic attitudes have remained amazingly similar up to now.
In my years of dealing with and observing creative song writers, singers and
artists, one thing always stuck out. To write a song that hasn't been written,
sing a song that no one has sung, write a book no one has read, you have to
think outside the box. If you are creative in whatever you do, by following
logic and what is accepted by the majority, you can't be creative. The word
accountant explains it. Your profession is to account for something others did.
You don't create.
How boring.
Leach was creative in coaching football. His offense speaks for itself.
Going for it on fourth down another. Daring to take chances made his teams
what they were was his game and it worked for him and Tech. Thus the rigid rules
the academics at Tech tried to put on him were not important in his view. Have
50,000 people ever paid up to $80 a ticket to watch a math test?
The real people at Tech that should be fired are all of the left wing egghead
tenured professors that are anti business, anti America, anti Christian and
can't be fired regardless of their Socialist teachings.
Not a football coach that tries to discipline a Daddy's boy that was put in a
dark room with a concussion. All of us that accepted a college athletic
scholarship knows that they own you or you don' t accept it. It is a job, and
the coach is your boss, period.
The game has changed. If Darrel Royal was tying to get a job now with his "My
big ole boys can line up and run over your big ole boys"
offense, he couldn't get a Junior High job. It is a complex game that takes a
creative and weirdo mind like Leach to make it work.
Tech still and always will have the little brother complex in Texas with TU and
A&M and they do things like this Leach affair to carry it out.
Other than that, I have no opinion.

Mr. Corbin also sent me the link to a story which I believe is the best yet on the subject: The Downfall of Different: What Really Doomed Mike Leach at Texas Tech
