Leach thinks firing was conspiracy
Former Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach Mike Leach thinks it was a conspiracy among some on the board of regents to fire him.
Leach was fired after allegations surfaced that he locked a player suffering from concussion symptoms in a dark closet for hours.
He has denied any wrongdoing in the treatment of the player in question, wide receiver Adam James, the son of former college star and current broadcaster Craig James.
The head coach already had issues with the administration before his firing and barely received a contract extension despite his popularity and success at the school.
Leach alleges that some of the regents were so angry with his conduct during contract negotiations that they secretly decided to fire him when the opportunity arose.
