The PR Pirate

Texas Tech and it's bizarro lawyer/pirate/six plays in my offense coach, Mike Leach, are in a contractual showdown that is reaching new depths of silliness.

As of Tuesday night, Leach still hadn't signed his extension. That's important because it was the deadline Texas Tech set for Leach to sign the contract offer.

Leach and Tech don't disagree over money, but over compensation if Leach were ever fired.

Tired of getting bad press, Leach responded by hiring a PR agency and having a rally - for, uh, himself. Does the band show up for that one?

This reminds me of one of those many games when Leach decides to go four a fourth and long in his own territory early in the game and it comes back to bite him in the ass.
