Now on ESPN they're playing a cell phone video that shows the "electrical closet" that Adam was held in. In the video Adam decides to record the whole room then turn around and record his own face then turn it off.

I was thinking the same thing. I found the following in an article on Yahoo:
Texas Tech fires football coach Leach - Yahoo! News
If my boss provided me with guidelines for my job and I refused to sign them, I probably wouldn't be employed much longer.

I really can't tell, but the cell phone video and the new video really don't look like the same room to me. Anyone else notice this? I guess it could be part of the larger room or James video taped himself in a different room?

Or, the room the attorney showed us wasn't the room James was sequestered in.
Wonder if we'll ever find out... or if this will fall under the same FERPA guidelines that limit public release of other student records. Either way, Leach's account probably won't ever get a fair hearing on eSPIN

I won a math debate
I am not a lawyer, but as a former manager and director for various companies, it's always been known that we can't fire someone for bringing a lawsuit against us, instead, you wait til 3 months later and fire the fucker for being late.... Anyways, since this is obviously going to become a pretty ugly court battle, doesn't TT's AD saying "you don't sue your boss, that just doesn't end well" hurt them in the long run?
Anyways, uhm, yeah.
Anyways, uhm, yeah.

Unless you thought that, by signing the letter (which is alleged to have not been presented anyway, I know), you would admit to guilt and to having violated those guidelines.
In other words, other wording on the letter may have made it appear that the guidelines were needed because you had violated the guidelines and put your players health or other rights at risk.
As for the other video, we will indeed know the truth of this.

I already knew and thought this, but this just confirms it. Craig James is the biggest pussy connected to college football. I knew he was a little crybaby bitch when he was with CBS.
What are parents becoming. If I ever have a son who plays college or even high school football, and his coach does this to him, I'd tell my son to toughen up and quit being a little bitch. Where are parents who WANT their kids to be taught lessons. There are many accounts of Adam James being an asshole who doesn't work hard and bitches about everything. His coach gave him what he deserved. He's a big boy...do something about it. Play harder. Work harder. Take the 3 hours in the dark to reflect on life, yourself, and what you want to do with the rest of your time in college.
Coaches are so soft. These are college football players...they are some of the biggest strongest people in the world. Nothing bonds you closer to somebody until you fight them. I wouldn't doubt if Woody got into some fist fights with some of his players. I'd want my players to be the meanest, angriest people who never back down to anything and always fight through everything. Football in general is getting way to soft. I saw a personal foul called for a late hit against Suh today that was a complete joke. IT'S FOOTBALL! You hit people. You shouldn't have to pull-up. Sure, if you go out of your way to hit somebody after a play is obviously over, then throw a flag. But if you are just completing a tackle out of bounds, or if you hit a QB hard a second after he throws the ball, or just playing hard football, then let them play. It's a hard sport. You are supposed to get hit. It's why girls don't play. But you know what, the direction that football is heading, we might as well just put girls out there.
I would be soooo pissed if I was a TT fan. Leach is a good coach, and firing him sucks for their school. In my eyes he did nothing wrong. If JT did this to some player, and he got fired, i'd be livid.
Good for Leach for not apologizing. Fuck Texas Tech for being bitches.
Go Sparty!

Buckeye doc;1628657; said:I wonder if this went down as a [censored]ing contest. When the AD heard from Craig James, he goes to Leach, and said something like 'look, make an apology, make promises about playing time, make nice and this all can be handled quietly.' Leach's response: '<censored> that, I won't do it.' Rapidly downhill from there. Workable theory imho.
During the evening game break with Uncle Lou, et al, this is pretty much exactly what they were claiming happened. TT admin. was saying they offered Leach some options to work out the situation but he turned them down. Of course, that's a self-serving explanation for the school, since it puts all the responsibility for the outcome back in Leach's lap.
