Update On “Coaches Read This Blog”
6th February 2010
Readers of a certain type remember this, but for the rest of us, you might recall a post where I considered the persuasion skill of Rick Leach, the highly successful, but recently fired, head coach of the Texas Tech football team. Here’s a key observation I made back then.
Leach suggests that he just wants to sit at the table of brotherhood and work this out with the good folks at Texas Tech and not turn it into a circus with courts and judges, media and journalists. “Can’t we all just get along with each other?” If anything he says can be proven in a court of law, Texas Tech will be writing a large check. Given that Mr. Leach wants to break bread at the table of brotherhood, Tech might want to take its chances with a judge.
Well, maybe administrators at Texas Tech read this Blog along with Mr. Leach and assorted other coaches because they aren’t going to mediation.
Lawyers for the former coach Mike Leach and Texas Tech held a court-ordered mediation session in Lubbock, Tex., but did not reach an agreement.
This should be interesting, but my money’s still on Mr. Leach.
And, yes. I’m snowed in. You’ll probably get a blizzard of blog posts over the next few days.
