Texas Tech released word Monday that its head coach Mike Leach has been suspended. According to reports, Adam James, the son of former NFL running back and current ESPN college football analyst Craig James, suffered a concussion and was unable to practice with the team in the lead up to the Alamo Bowl January 2.
The family alleges that Mike Leach arranged to confine James to an equipment room for three hours while practice was taking place on one day, and then confined James to an electrical closet during a second practice session.
At Texas Tech all such complaints are considered as serious matters, and as a result, an investigation of the incident is underway. Until the investigation is complete, Texas Tech University is suspending coach Leach from all duties as Head Football Coach effective immediately. The investigation into this matter will continue in a thorough and fair manner.
Coach Ruffin McNeill will assume duties as Interim Head Coach and will coach the team during the Alamo Bowl.
