NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Leach says he plans to get back into coaching after spending this season working in television.
The former Texas Tech coach was at the CBS College Sports studios in Manhattan on Tuesday to begin preparing for his new job as a game analyst.
Leach was fired by Texas Tech in December after being accused of mistreating a player who had a concussion. He has sued the school for breach of contract and denies mistreating receiver Adam James.
Quirky and outspoken, Leach has never worked as a broadcaster. He says he took the job because he wanted to stay close to the game and likes the challenge of learning a new profession.
Leach has been living in Key West, Fla., with his family since leaving Lubbock, Texas.
