Comments on: Leach calls items in contract not acceptable http://www.redraiders.com/2009/02/04/leach-calls-items-in-contract-not-acceptable/ Texas Tech University Sports presented by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Fri, 19 Mar 2010 05:15:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: OldSchoolRaider http://www.redraiders.com/2009/02/04/leach-calls-items-in-contract-not-acceptable/comment-page-1/#comment-13884 OldSchoolRaider Sat, 07 Feb 2009 19:40:47 +0000 http://www.redraiders.com/?p=5675#comment-13884 Yeah Watchdog.....you would have a great view in a stadium that holds 70,000 with 40,000 people there. Have you ever interviewed for a job other than your current employer? Its a part of life, and our job is to make this one the most appealing for the best coach. Mike fits that bill, and you need to stop worrying about jumping ship. If he does, then we can go get the next Spike (gag) that you mentione and we can all fall asleep at games again. LSU was pretty devistated when Saban left....oh wait, Les took them to a championship also. Yeah Watchdog…..you would have a great view in a stadium that holds 70,000 with 40,000 people there.

I am all for a longterm coach which builds a program than a jumper which devistates a program.

Are we having this much difficulties with him? What on earth does Mike think he deserves when he's only 1/2 a coach? Question does our other Co-Head Coach have an agent?

If it does include buy-out increase and limits on Leach's end of season job shopping then Sorry Mike. If it includes him Ditch'n the wise ass in Minneapolis, Sorry Mike. Otherwise I think that Tech should reduce his salary and agree to Mike's terms. I would like to know the Admin’s side since Mike broke the silence of the private contract conversations.

He's trying to shove football in the direction he's led basketball - down, for those of you who have not noticed. Please preserve our one remaining major sport success . . . FIRE MYERS NOW!!!!

Maybe the contract requires him to actually make adjustments during the games. That would be a shock to his system. And I don't blame Tech for wanting him to stop interviewing for every job that comes open. What part of 'under contract' does he not understand? Could be that Tech wants an actual long-term commitment before they pay long-term money - that's a sincere commitment, not just a term on some papers.

Would any TTU fan disagree with the administration including a substantial buy-out?
