Good luck coach Dickey. You can now enjoy greener pastures. Thanks for the memories. I am embarrassed by and ashamed of the way James Dickey has been treated by the administration of Texas Tech. How much time would have been required to contact Mr. Dickey and tell him in private that he was no longer needed at Tech.
Any employee deserves better treatment than the coach has been given.
May the old saying, 'what goes around comes around' become meaningful to some Tech officials some day. As a lifetime resident of West Texas, I am fed up with the hierachy that runs Texas Tech University. I am a committed fan to the Lady Raider s, and do not know James Dickey, but the way this situation was handled was deplorable. As far as the possibility of Bobby Knight coming here, it is a sign of how the almighty dollar is much more important than morals and role models. With all that is going on in today's society, with children killing other children and running amok, now Tech may possibly hire a man that has shown the world that it is okay to be out of control.
