He has been accused of mistreating a player with a concussion. Coach Leach is accused of putting Adam James into isolatation two separate times during Red Raiders’ football team practice.

This is a huge shock to most sports fans as Texas Tech had just given Coach Leach a 5year, $12.7 million contract.
