[Husker] Mike Leach Suspended by Texas Tech

[David Strong]

Leach is definitely playing it very smart right now.  He is staying out of sight and staying quiet.  He's got his lawyer spinning the story and I guarantee the next thing we will hear is people coming out of the woodwork...fans, ex-players, ex-assistant coaches, other coaches, boosters, etc. all saying what a great guy he is who would never hurt anyone.  The attack on the player and his father will start soon enough, as well as on the AD and/or president. We've just seen the whole thing at KU.  Leach doesn't have to say a word, the public support will be overwhelming in his favor.
