Mike Leach hearing on Friday

Mike Leach, former Texas Tech head coach, is ordered to return to Lubbock on Friday for a hearing handling his lawsuit against the university. Mike Leach currently lives in Florida with his family, and has declined to comment about the case this past Monday.

Mike Leach was originally fired this past December on allegations for mistreating a player who had suffered a concussion. The Texas Tech football player, Adam James, is also the son of ESPN analyst and former NFL player Craig James. Adam James claimed he was forced to stand for hours confined to a dark place during practice. Twice.

Leach denies these allegations and expects he was fired due to the fact he was supposed to receive a $800,000 bonus the next day December 31. Leach is suing Texas for breaching their contract and slander.
