Mike Leach and 'contingent of donors' interested in Texas Tech reunion, report says

The search is on for a new leader in Lubbock.

After Texas Tech parted ways with head coach Kliff Kingsbury on Sunday, the rumors started to swirl about who would potentially replace him.

One of the most notable names swirling in the coaching carousel winds, believe it or not, was former Red Raiders head coach Mike Leach.

The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported Sunday that Leach is open to coming back to Texas Tech and some big money donors also like the idea.

"The people who are supporting him, it's not just one or two," the source told Lubbock Avalance-Journal.
