LUBBOCK — Texas Tech defensive coordinator James Willis is leaving after one season to pursue other opportunities.
The school said Sunday that Willis will not coach in the Ticket City Bowl against Northwestern on New Year's Day.
Willis joined the Red Raiders after Tommy Tuberville was hired as head coach. Willis was an assistant to Tuberville at Auburn. He spent the 2009 season as associate head coach at Alabama. It was his first season as a defensive coordinator with Texas Tech.
Texas Tech finished 116th out of 120 teams in total defense, allowing 463 yards per game.

He's going to UF, I'm guessing to be the DC/LB Coach. So, it doesn't suck too bad.

Wish we could have kept him at UA.

I have to admit that I didn't realize that he wasn't still there.

You are much better off without him.

That is not confirmed, and here's the rest of the story - you really should (1) go through the proper channels and keep your boss in the loop and (2) make sure you have the new job firmly in hand before getting fired...
The Avalanche-Journal learned Sunday night Willis was talking about a job with the University of Florida and Tech coach Tommy Tuberville found out through third parties. The two came to a mutual agreement Willis should leave Tech ...
“I wish James the best of luck, but it is important for (the) football team to keep pressing forward,†Tuberville said in the statement. “We have a great defensive staff here that will carry the load along with my assistance as we prepare for Northwestern .â€

Fuck James Willis.
There is a chicken bone out there with his name on it. I will continue to wait patiently until it lodges in his throat.

I'm not sure if this is racist or a death threat...or both.

Would it be more acceptable if she had said something like "there is a piece of sheet-rock waiting to fall on him"?

Or a large piece of crunchy taco shell gets stuck in his throat...all for under $3 bucks.

One would think so.

I'm with Sweets. Loyalty to Tubs is fine - and I get that Tubs waited a year to get another job, so Willis had to find a stop gap. And it is admirable that he jumped to Tubs as soon as Tubs was settled. Ordinarily I would have no issue with that at all whatsoever, we'll remember you fondly.
HOWEVER, when the stop gap between Auburn and Tubs is bammer? Going from Auburn to BAMMER? Fuck you, Willis. You are dead to me.

Yeah, I hope a Watermelon seed gets lodged in his throat along with the chicken bone. Lodged so deep that Kool-Aid can't get it out.

Per CBSSportsblog.com:
Earlier on Monday we told you how defensive coordinator James Willis had left Texas Tech and was pursuing other job opportunities, including the opening at Florida. Of course, there was some question as to why Willis had suddenly decided to leave Texas Tech, and the school would give no clarification as to whether Willis had resigned from his position or had been fired.
Well, the school still hasn't said what caused Willis' sudden departure, but I think we've found the reason why.
FOX 34 News has learned that a domestic dispute is reported to have taken place at a Wolfforth home, that according to several sources, is the residence of former Texas Tech football defensive coordinator James Willis. Wolfforth Police Chief Rick Scott confirms that police were called to a home at 305 North 10th in Wolfforth at 3:15, the morning of December 22.
According to Scott, the victim was a 33-year old female and the suspect is a 38-year old male. James Willis turned 38 back in September, so do the math.
Call me crazy, but I believe this may be why Willis is no longer with the team, and odds are that it will affect his potential candidacy at Florida or any other job for the time being. Texas Tech is currently in Dallas practicing in preparation for its game against Northwestern in the Ticket City Bowl on New Year's Eve.
I guess being around the bammer fan base rubbed off on him...

Damn, bammers really took that Iron Bowl loss pretty hard.
"Merry Christmas honey, I know it's early, but I thought you'd enjoy this movie...the Game Changer"
"Benedict" Willis curses as he trys to open the DVD
"What's the matter hun...can't crack open the case like your beloved Coach couldn't crack Cam Newton, ha ha?"
*POW* Right in Da Kisser

So now we don't even have to ask Mr. Owl. It only takes one year at the crapstone to turn a man into a wife beater.

Just so y'all know, that still counts in the beaten wives after the Iron Bowl category.

Yeah, well...secretaries are another story entirely. Right Mike DuBose?

I still find it amusing that the entire 1998 year, he wore a white shirt with a red A on it.
