Texas Tech fired coach Mike Leach on Wednesday, two days after he was suspended by the school as it investigated his treatment of a player with a concussion.

The school handed a termination letter to Leach’s attorney, Ted Liggett, minutes before the two sides were to appear in court for a hearing on the coach’s suspension.

His firing also came just days before his Red Raiders team is scheduled to play Michigan State in the nationally televised Alama Bowl game.

The university initially suspended Leach, but the coach fought back by hiring an attorney and challenging the suspension.

The university gave Leach’s attorney, Ted Liggett, a termination letter just before the two sides were scheduled to meet in court for a hearing on the coach’s suspension, according to the Associated Press.
