The football program is heading in great direction, and all of this is @$#%^&*%. Plain and simple. Both parties are at fault but the scales are in Leach's favor. I'm sure he would've signed an extension for less money preceding this monumental season but the economics (can we blame that on Myer's too?) did not allow it. Now the University is in a situation which they said they would revisit contract talk after the season and that has bit them in the a$$ because the season happened to be historic. So you play the hand you are dealt and sign the man. Without the bullsh*t clauses that are beyond reason. Someone made a reference to Kirk Ferentz contract @ Iowa; I remember going to an Alamo Bowl in the 90's in San Antonio where we got our butt's handed to us by Iowa. I left that game wishing that Tech would someday reach the prestige of Iowa football. Leach's record is superior to Ferentz's and he just got a deal worth more than what Leach is being offered and there was no noticeable bickering in the media. IMG misplayed the situation with the e-mails, that is fact, but this pi$$ing match good ole Gerald has contributed to has gone far enough. Can we give Myers a deadline?????? Please? please? please? you have two weeks Gerald. 14 days from now if Leach is not signed to a new contract that will bring stability to the one money making piece of your athletic department then you go away. PERIOD. Sign our freaking football coach to a contract that is comparable to even freaking 'Mark ate may car or I would've driven to the game Mangino' and get it over with. Kansas just made school history by going to BACK TO BACK BOWL GAMES AND THE MAN HAS A 100 PERCENT BUYOUT CLAUSE IN HIS CONTRACT. Think about that, KU gas never been to consecutive bowl games until 2 months ago and the man has more security than the man who will become the all time winningest coach in Tech history if Gerald doesn't screw this up Royally. Why is this not common sense to these people. You want to raise ticket prices but you give away a home game to Dallas????? You want to expand the stadium but you want to run the coach out of town who has facilitated the expansion through WINNING????????? Why is this going on??? WHAT THE HEII IS GOING ON????????????????? Am I the only one who doesn't get it? I mean I read the posts but why are these people who are smarter than us getting to make these decisions when it is absolutely apparent that the man needs to be signed on reasonable terms. I am utterly frustrated and severely saddened that we as fans are having to witness this crap after the most exciting season of Texas Tech Football in my lifetime. It makes me sick to my stomach.
