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…
