The HQ has trumpeted the long-overdue jettisoning of UNM head football coach Mike Locksley ever since he popped an assistant coach last season.
He's 1-14 and his team is truly awful-and-a-half...
Reports have, somewhat, surfaced about the supposed firing of Locksley- finally- after the New Mexico State loss upcoming on the 9th of October.
It, of course, depends on who you believe...
John Taylor at CollegeFootballTalk.com reports, through Brooks, that Leach’s attorney ((Ted Liggett)) said today that there’s “zero truth” to discussion that his client may be hired by New Mexico as football coach.
Brady Ackerman of ESPN Radio in Gainesville also reported, via his Twitter account, “Mike Leach just told me this is the first he’s heard of the New Mexico rumor.“
It all goes back to a report in the Albuquerque Journal, from Mark Smith and Greg Archuleta, that has a former AND from KRQE-TV, Gerges Scott, reporting on his Facebook page that his sources are telling him of the Locksley firing...
Remember, just in the past few weeks, Locksley's run-in with a UNM student newspaper reporter came to light. And the best quote of the whole thing comes from the university their own selves...
"Had we understood there was going to be a big media crush after the fact, and had we known that, Mike would have kept the video on hand," the UNM spokesperson said.
Pardon the HQ as we cough into our hands and mumble something unintelligbly...
We wait with baited breath...
