mike leach just got fired..tech will now be like baylor

They fired him today because if he was the coach at the close of buisness on 12-31-2009 he would receive a multi million dollar bonus.
The school doesnt want him around and that was quit obvious when he had to fight them for a contract. They will regret it.

Yes, bad firing, who are they going to get that is better than Leach?

**snapstick** · 12-30-09, 01:18 PM

Funny that you said TT will end up like Baylor because I can see Art Briles @ Baylor being a pretty good fit with TT! He coaches a wide open offense and did pretty well at Houston! He was doing ok w/Baylor too til the QB went down!

They wanted to let him go long ago. This is a legit excuse to do just that.

Not sure where you get your info from, but ESPN reported it was much less than a million bonus.
