He was the only one to give Adam James even a SNIFF of a scholarship, too.
I'll say upfront I don't know all the details, but why are all his players coming out and saying what an a-hole he was and how glad he is that he's gone?

The current players? Because they are losers. You see the winners like Graham Harrell defending him.

all? or just a few? i'd imagine most players only want to win, regardless of whether coach is an a-hole.

I'll try and find the quote, but it was basically "we will be a better team without him as our coach"...WR I think

one guy saying 'we' doesn't mean the team is in step with that-they might start feeling differently after their bowl loss this wknd.

LSU needs a coach, why not Leach?

would lsu fans like that run-n-shoot offense of his? although he should be able to pull in some serious skilled players. lsu fans sure won't like leach's defensive teams.
i still believe leach got fired because he was disrespectful with the administration

I firmly believe that Miles defense is slowly evolving into the swiss cheese defense he had at OK St., so in that respect there wouldn't be much difference.

ESPN has been extremely biased in their coverage of this situation. Read any other site and you will find tons of emails which show people supporting him. Craig James is a pathetic man and he has bestowed his patheticism on his son.

It amazes me that so little has been written about 1) Leach following the neurologist recs. to document James had no clinical basis for injury 2) The kid wanting out of practice but resisted being deactivated for the bowl game.

Could it be any clearer that James faked an injury and brazenly still complained about not being allowed to play in the bowl game.

Well ESPN isn't going to bring it up. I certainly hope Craig James enjoyed hearing his son being booed the other night.
