The dumpster fire has started.

wow that's early, but I guess their D can't be much worse. I'm sure this will fix it...

 

[Clark]

wait, you can fire a coordinator mid season? interesting...

IMO, Tech will have to go through the divorce with one of their all time favorite players much the same way a lot of us worried about when we hired Fred. Will be interesting to see how long KK keeps his job assuming they don't improve massively (I don't think they will).

Given the timing, both being so early and bring so late in the week, I am guessing that this wasn't due to on field performance. Must have been something else going on.

I think they just gave KK a massive contract, not sure though. They're stuck with him for quite awhile.

I know a few Tech fans here in Texas and they all worship Mike Leach. I bet they wish they could have him back!

Hmm, did not know that.

Hey girl.... you're fired.

What is the standard at Tech? I'd assume they expect to get 8-9-10 wins a year with the occasional team that can get a Big 12 title?

At least he dresses nice, maybe he was flirting with his DCs wife?

6 DC's in 6 years.

Good point, I wonder if him and wonder boy had it out in a meeting yesterday.

Weird time to do this. Usually you'd fire your DC immediately after a game.

 

[Cychedelia]

Maybe KK fired him because he refused to wear wayfarer sunglasses.

We need input from one of those "guns up" posters. That avatar is welcome here anytime.

 

[TXCyclones]

I'd love to be able to count this as an automatic W based on this. But still too afraid.

 

[Chizit]

Apparently his firing came because he was "under the influence of a controlled substance" at a team facility

 

[GTO]

Something is odd about the way he is running that program. First, the issues with Michael Brewer and Baker Mayfield, where they pretty much said he does not communicate with the players and nobody seems to know what is going on from game to game. Now this. Odd.
