so now the receivers coach comes out and said the kid has been dogging it the whole time and they've had issues with his work ethic and basically that he is a pussy, about what I figured. Daddy and Mom are just giving him a tit to suck on is all.

In one of two e-mails written by current Tech inside wide receivers coach Lincoln Riley, obtained Tuesday by Schad and ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach, Riley referred to James as "unusually lazy and entitled" and said he has been worried about James' effect on the rest of the receivers because of "his weak and conceited attitude."
In a separate e-mail, this one to the Texas Tech AD, Riley wrote: "Two practices before Adam James claimed he had a concussion, Coach Leach and I were forced to discipline him for poor effort from the previous practice and poor effort during the early drills of that day. This has been a common theme about Adam's work ethic and attitude during his entire career."Comment -
such a weird situation. sounds like this kid is a weak punkComment -
Seer I wonder why you got fukkin fired from Alabama ST
LOL you Southerners all have that hard nose mentality and that theory of coaching is long gone and your fukkin play calling was horrific running dives on 3rd and 7. Seer your the last guy that should be supporting a coach or telling us how to coach.

Shame on the coaching staff for letting this prima donna get under their skin.
I wonder if this kid will return to that locker room. Any normal athlete wouldn't, but he might.Comment -
Something doesn't sound right,is this kid on the football team or the badmitton team?Too many primadonnas in the game today,these coaches have a hard fukkin job anymore with having to come up with a gameplan and be nursemaid at the same time.Comment -

This kid is a bitch and if Leach doesn't get fired he will transfer to the sub division because no d-1 coach will touch him.Comment -
There's certainly no reason to believe that this upstanding coach would ever do anything to embarrass his team, the school, or it's players.Originally posted by teaserpleaser

Texas Tech Coaches and Players: Adam James Is a Lazy, Entitled, Jerk
By Larry Brown | December 30, 2009
It’s hard to know what to make of the current investigation and situation surrounding Texas Tech coach Mike Leach. Leach is being investigated by the school for his alleged treatment of receiver Adam James after doctors said James couldn’t practice because of a concussion. James’ father is a high-profile analyst and former player with a lot of clout who has a platform as a broadcaster for ESPN. Texas Tech is on the hook for millions of dollars to Leach, including an $800,000 bonus if Leach is still the team’s coach by Thursday. People are suggesting that Texas Tech is trying to get rid of Leach because of the money they owe him and that they’re using the James case as a reason for justifiable cause. James appears to be using the current climate of sensitivity amongst football players who have concussions to garner anti-Leach sentiment. While there was initially widespread outrage towards Leach for his alleged mistreatment of James, new information paints the situation in an entirely different light. Several letters and emails from CBS Sports from current or former Texas Tech coaches and players describe Texas Tech receiver Adam James as an entitled, lazy, and selfish player who was unqualified to play Division-I football. One email even called James a jerk. Reading all these emails allows one to see another side of the story, one that displays the incident as something other than the gross mistreatment of a concussed player by a coach. After seeing the other side of the story, I believe this an example of a spoiled child hiding behind his powerful parents to get back at a coach who was hard on the kid and made him earn his playing time. What makes matters worse is that James’ parents are drumming up this negative sentiment against Leach on ESPN without describing all of his son’s shortcomings. Was it right of Leach to place James in those isolated rooms during practice? No. Did James need to be disciplined for a poor work ethic and attitude? From the sounds of it, absolutely.
Mike Leach is nowhere near the bad guy he’s being made out to be by the James family. It’s a shame that people are jumping all over the guy without looking at all sides of the story. Furthermore, why is Texas Tech so motivated to get rid of the guy? Did they reach by overspending to keep him? That’s their mistake, not Leach’s. Anyway, check out this Lubbock news report for more insight on the story at hand and then let me know what you think.Comment -

He will have trouble getting a big job every againComment -
why's he classless?
cause he tells it like it is without sugarcoating for the thumbsucking brats.Comment -
kid was diagnosed by a DOCTOR as having a concussion, yet leach still decides to PUNISH him, yes PUNISH him by not letting him sit or lean in the small room
so what if the kid has a bad attitude, he's a 19-20 yr old soph, deal w/the discipline when he's NOT concussed
then the tex tech AD asks for a letter of apology and leach does NOT send one
then leach has the AUDACITY to try and file a restraining order on the suspension so he can coach the bowl gm
what a FUKKING IDIOT leach is
he got what he deserved
CORRECT DECISION BY TEX TECH
any other opinion is WRONGComment -
Leech yanked the sliver spoon out of pussboys mouth and he cried to momma and daddy.
such horrible punishment to be made to stand up for an hr.
boo hoo bitch boy.
This kid ill have to transfer cause no way he will get any respect on that team again.
the world needs more coaches like LeechComment -
mike, it happened not once but TWICE
you are 1000 % wrong on this one
MANY MANY young cfb players around the country have bad attitudes, but in this day and age of
what he know about CONCUSSIONS, YOU DO NOT PUNISH THEM WHEN THEY ARE CONCUSSEDComment -
doctors have stated the best thing for the kid was to be in a dark room.
now I'm sure Leech put him there out of spite for the kids work ethic but whats the difference from him being in the room or back and his place playing Xbox while the rest of the team worked their asses off on the field.
its documented that James is a lazy kid that doesnt work hard.
so instead of practicing Leech put him in a dark room.Comment -
Dr. Michael Phy, a Texas Tech physician, examined James on Dec. 17, diagnosed him with a mild concussion and made recommendations regarding level of activity and treatment, according to a memo Phy wrote Dec. 25. In the memo, reviewed by Schad, Phy wrote that "no additional risks or harm were imposed on Adam [James] by what he was asked to do."Comment -
you guys are COMPLETELY missing the point
in 2 thousand fukking 9, ONCE the diagnosis is CONCUSSION you don't fukk around
by telling the kid he CANNOT sit or lean against the wall, the pressure on his body of standing for 3 hrs COULD HAVE been detrimental to his brain because of the CONCUSSION, the mind AND body are very sensitive during CONCUSSION, even standing for that long for a normal person is difficult, but when you're CONCUSSED its probably hell
and leach did this to the kid TWICE
WAKE UP FOR CHRIST'S SAKEComment -
U must have trouble reading, I'm gonna go with what the QUALIFIED doctor says since I deal with them on a regular basis. This covers Leach's ass and he will beat them in court because of it. TT fukked up.Originally posted by The SeerComment -
scoreboard, LEACH GOT FIREDOriginally posted by The Seer
i agree w/the decision so BRAVO to the ADComment -
Thinking Leach really got fired for other reasonsComment -
Leech will win in the end with a big payday from the court and once being vindicated, he will land a much more lucrative jobComment -
He will win a big payday but don't see a much more lucrative job in his future. High profile schools will most likely pass on his crazy antics. The big name schools will be reluctant to bring in such a controversial figure. He will probably have to work his way back up the ranks again.Originally posted by thechaozComment -
are you some of you out of your fukking skulls?
AUBURN CHOSE GENE CHIZIK OVER LEACH LAST JAN,
NO BIG NAME SCHOOLS WANT LEACH
learn the gm, or leave the gm and dont talk abt things you dont know
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESHComment -
I've coached and played more football than you ever dreamed. I know the game and I will talk about the real game not what some fan wants to hear.Originally posted by hoopster42
Chizik was chosen because of certain people than run that university and it's athletic department. Tubberville crossed them as did Bowden . Chizik is a yes man and got along with them well. It was no suprise to people that know the inner workings of Auburn. All coaches know to cover their asses medically.Comment -

after leading little tex tech in lubbock to an 11-1 reg season (before the bowl beatdown to ole miss) and building the program up w/7, 8, and 9 wins a yr, leach could not land a better job, he even won the bcs natl title as OC of oklahoma
the guy has a GREAT football resume'
yet no big name school wants this guy
seer, i know more about football, esp CFB, than you thinkComment -
yep, this was just an excuse to get out of paying him the additional 800K.Originally posted by jjgold
in the end Leech will get the 800K and than some I'd assume once it goes through the courts.Comment -
Originally posted by mmike032
leach brings much more to the university than 800K
the problem is that NOW kids will not want to play for him for fear he'll put them in dark rooms when they are CONCUSSED
tech did what they had to doComment -
Go ahead and tell us the story of how you or somebody close to you suffered from a concussion. You clearly have an emotional attachment to this matter.Originally posted by hoopster42

No doubt that Leach will sue TT. The big question is, will he go after Craig James and ESPN too?Comment -
James is untouchable and a God at ESPN and they have lots of power
James will make sure Leach never gets another big job againComment
