I know some people are probably tired of the story, but for those who are not he will be interviewed on College Football Live (ESPN2) at midnight.

I believe the interview will be at 11:00 PM, Dallas time. The announcers are on the east coast so they're plugging it for midnight there.

He blamed the entire situation on Adam James being lazy and his Dad a meddler. Read a statement from the team physician. Accepted no responsibility for getting fired.

Not only is he a jerk, but he is delusional too. What part of "he pissed his bosses off" does he not understand?

Well I guess putting a person in an electrical closet for three hours is okay for him.

Leach conveniently changed the subject at the critical juncture of the interview. When asked about his position on playing an injured player who was under the medical care of a doctor Leach instead answered that he had Doctors statement that James was not harmed or injured in any way by sitting in a room-whatever that room was. THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. Of course, he wasn't harmed or injured. The issue Leach is running from is whether a player should be publicly humiliated and ridiculed for not playing with what could be a serious medical condition. And whether Leach as Head Coach should be able to influence, pressure or override the medical diagnosis and opinions of the medical staff to bully and intimidate an injured player into playing and thereby by example send a message to the entire team that they are expected to play even if injured. In order to dance away from his own disciplinary techniques he has decided to thrash the reputation of a kid as a lazy, slacker, entitled, spoiled brat who he himself put in football games for thousands of plays from scrimmage. Leach's attack on James is reprehensible-and shows he is not fit to be a Head Coach. He obviously realizes that his disciplinary techniques of a players with what could be a serious medical condition can not be justified. Thank God Derrius Bell doesn't play for that punk

I hope Leach does not get another coaching job again in his life. He has shown the character needed to be one of those ambulance chaser lawyers!!! JT, Stallion, you might want to have him disbarred before he causes trouble in your line of work.

Moreover he makes Gary Barnett look like a saint!
