Mike Leach Controversy

I can't seem to get my mind around the swirl of controversy that surrounds the Texas Tech football program. Mike Leach was of course fired the other day and the finger pointing is out of control. Here lies the problem - Mike Leach apparently sent Adam James to an inappropriate area during practice. Adam reportedly had a mild concussion and felt he was being mistreated by the coaching staff. On one hand it is easy to write Adam off as a pantywaist and whiner and his father ESPN analyst Craig James as a busybody "legend in his own mind" type. On the other hand, Leach is somewhat of a loose cannon and one can get the impression that he is somewhat of a narcissist and ego maniac. Who is in the right here? If it is Coach Leach, then he has been treated unfairly by the administration. The impression I get is that Adam did not get the playing time he thought he deserved and his father jumped on the bandwagon and played the typical jerk sports father. Now if Adam is not good enough for major playing time perhaps he should consider transferring. Perhaps a school from a lower division where his chances of playing more minutes are greater would be a better fit. Major college football, after all, is big business. Not so much in the lower divisions where the game still resembles true college athletics and not the NFL farm system. There would be no shame in that, in fact, if he proved to be a quality player in lower division college ball the NFL would still come calling. They will find you if you can play the game. Now his father, from all appearances, got too involved in the issue and tried to throw his weight around (as if a football coach has any use for an "analyst"). This may have been rightfully seen by Leach as interference from a dolt into his program. If that is the case Leach may have been tempted to treat Adam differently from other players. That would be human nature, but a coach should have more maturity than that. Oh well, the controversy has been blown out of proportion and nobody will come out the winner here. Incidentally those at ESPN have shown their true colors by insinuating that Leach is the problem. Way to go dickweeds.
