Washington State coach Mike Leach is making a push to get Texas Tech to pay him about $2.5 million Leach feels he is owed for the 2009 football season.
Leach has hired a private investigator to seek information about Texas Tech’s leadership and its decision to fire him in 2009 as a result of a controversy involving player Adam James, who said he was placed in a darkened closet while trying to recover from a concussion. Investigator Wayne Dolcefino of Houston is supposed to find information on school officials, including phone and other records.
“Their smart play is to pay the man,” Dolcefino said.
