Sports Thread #1 For 12/30/09: Mike Leach Is Fired From Texas Tech

By -
He is gone
Leach attorney Ted Liggett made the announcement inside a Lubbock courtroom today following his meeting with Judge Bill Sowder and Texas Tech officials in Sowder’s chambers.
The firing comes one day before Leach was to receive an $800,000 “completion bonus” from Texas Tech.
Fox 34 reports:
Before the hearing this morning, Mike Leach’s personal attorney, Ted Liggett, received a letter from Texas Tech signed by President Guy Bailey terminating Leach’s employment.
According to the letter, Leach is in violation of Article Four of his contract. That’s the performance clause, which deals with the health and welfare of players.
There will be more developments on this, but a lot of people upset in Lubbock land, no question about that.
