They want and we all lose the best coach we have had in a loong while. You want to wait another decade or two to experience the excitement of this year, well it looks like that is what your cheap shot has set up. Your will have this cross to bear for sometime to come and make Texas Tech look foolish and suffer through losing seasons with many missed opportunities. We thougth you were smarter than this?

A source told The Avalanche-Journal that Leach was in Seattle late Monday and into Tuesday to visit with University of Washington officials about their soon-vacant head-coaching job. The source said Leach had not been offered the job as of Tuesday night but that Washington should not be underestimated in its potential to hire Leach away. “My comment is, we want to keep Mike,’’ Hance said. “We like him. We’re a good fit for him, and he’s a good fit for us. We’re going to do what we can to keep him. Anytime somebody wants you, you’ve got to listen to them, I think. I don’t blame him for listening, but I don’t want him going.’’ – Avalanche [...] [...] Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance on Wednesday morning said the university will do what it can to retain football coach Mike Leach, but remained consistent with earlier statements from athletic director Gerald Myers about having to watch spending.

West Texas may be third in the recruiting tree, but it is out of the spotlight. I doubt Leach likes talking to reporters anyways. But Washington or Auburn would be the worst mistake ever. I understand that's closer to home for Leach, but the football program would have to be built from below ground level. From 11-1 to 0-11? Come on people, he's way smarter than that Go Leach!

Cheap is why someone like Dykes will get the job. Christy Curry was cheap. Bob Knight was cheap and Junior is cheap and over paid. 5,000 fans for a men's basketball game but look how much we saved on Juniors salary. Man this arena is awesome but where are the fans. Lets raise ticket prices. That is Texas Tech management style. whether you are a coach or a professor. Cheap, Cheap, Cheap!!!!! Too Conservative to achieve greatness!
