Sticking to his cutlasses

Man, I hope some school takes a flyer on Mike Leach.

… Leach was fired Dec. 30, 2009, and in January, he sued Texas Tech for wrongful termination. Leach filed a libel and defamation lawsuit against ESPN in November, claiming its coverage of the story was willfully negligent and damaging to Leach’s reputation.

One of Leach’s attorneys, Paul Dobrowski, said Thursday in a telephone interview that no school, including Maryland, demanded that Leach drop his lawsuits against Texas Tech and ESPN as a prerequisite to hiring him as its head football coach. Dobrowski also said Leach would “absolutely not” drop either lawsuit, should he be hired by a school before the resolution of either case.

If nothing else, it would be entertaining watching the WWL juggle Mike Patrick’s broadcast assignments.
