"Back to being a women's basketball school."

I think a comment on this post at Double T Nation about sums it up.  Texas Tech has fired Mike Leach, easily the most successful coach in the history of the program, because of claims by a back-up to the back-up wide receiver.

Wow.

Even if Leach was in the wrong in this case, and if the reports are correct, he was wrong, it is clearly an isolated incident and not a pattern of abuse by Leach and his coaching staff.  This is clearly a reaction to past events with Leach, and frankly, is ridiculous.

That trip to Lubbock next year for the Longhorns is now not nearly as scary as it once was, because I guarantee you that Tech will go the easy and cheap route by hiring Arizona offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes, a Tech alum and the son of legendary Tech coach Spike Dykes.  No offense (pun intended) to Dykes, but Arizona had the 40th ranked offense in a conference that is notorious for not being able to play defense and would be a terrible hire.

I feel for you today, Texas Tech fans, because your program took a step backwards.  If Tech strikes bold and hires Kevin Sumlin from Houston or Art Briles from Baylor it might be able to save face, but right now it looks petty and foolish.
