Urban Meyer and toll of top-tier coaching When University of Florida head football Coach Urban Meyer announced he was retiring to save his health, an old rival understood. “Certainly, if there are health issues involved it makes it nearly impossible to do it,” said former University of Tennessee Coach Phil Fulmer. “In this job, there’s…

One theory on the Urban Meyer flip-flop
One theory on the Urban Meyer flip-flop It’s just a theory, suggested by someone I trust in the college football world, but it makes as much sense as anything else in Urban Meyer’s even more shocking decision to change his resignation to an indefinite leave of absence. What if he’s coming back at some undetermined…

Replacing Leach won’t be easy for Tech
Replacing Leach won’t be easy for Tech In some administrative offices at Texas Tech, officials might be experiencing a sense of relief or even vindication with the firing of Mike Leach.

Firing Leach saved Tech buyout money, but will cost it much more
Firing Leach saved Tech buyout money, but will cost it much more It’s hard to imagine Mike Leach’s 10-year tenure at Texas Tech ending in a more fittingly bizarre fashion. The law school grad sent his lawyer to a courthouse in hopes of getting his suspension lifted, only to come back with a termination letter.…

It’s a dumb move by a smart coach in the wrong era
It’s a dumb move by a smart coach in the wrong era A college football coach can’t do what Mike Leach did to Adam James and get away with it. Not if the player and his family don’t allow it. Not in 2009. Did Leach miss the announcement about the new millennium? Leach picked on…
