LEACH: FROM THE OUTSIDE IN

I don't know the story on what exactly Leach did with respect to the player who had the concussion, so I have no opinion on whether he should or shouldn't have been fired. Still, I know he was an employee of a State. Generally speaking, when a State fires an employee, there must first be some manner of due process examination of the "for cause" violation. In Leach's case, they just handed a termination letter to his lawyer.

When all the huffing and puffing is done, the State of Texas is going to be writing a check, no matter how insensitively the Coach behaved.
