Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach wants the world to know he’s not letting go of his grudge against Texas Tech.

Leach was infamously fired by the Red Raiders the day before being owed a $800,000 bonus after allegations he mistreated Craig James’ concussed son. Most college football fans don’t view the allegations against Leach as legitimate, and the MSU coach wants Tech to pay him his money!

Ahead of the Liberty Bowl between the Red Raiders and Bulldogs, Leach unleashed some thoughts about Texas Tech’s leadership, and made it clear he is more than willing to settle for the money he’s owed.

He also alleged that Texas Tech has hid “documents” about many things that “the public has the right to see.” You can listen to his comments in the video from Trey Mongrue below.

Furthermore, Leach suggested that people could end up in handcuffs over the situation. “They (Texas Tech) cheated me out of $2.6 million and then hiding documents shows corruption. I wouldn’t even rule out some criminal prosecutions on the thing. We’ll see how it unfolds,” the legendary coach added, according to Jon Sokoloff.

Leach’s beef against Texas Tech is legendary in the college football world, and it’s clear as all hell that until he gets his money, he’s not letting it go.

I don’t blame him at all. I would likely feel the exact same way if I was fired after being accused of mistreating a kid with a concussion with limited to no evidence.

The Red Raiders and Bulldogs play Tuesday at 6:45 EST on ESPN, and I hope like hell Leach runs it up on Texas Tech. He might never get his money, but he can settle for humiliating his former school!

Something tells me he’ll do it with a smile on his face!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
