H2o Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 That's sad news. His offenses were a thing to watch in college football over the years. Condolences to his friends and family. Sorry @The Senator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, how'd you like to have Mike Leach's kidneys ... Since this seems to be rubbing people the wrong way, I just want to point out that I think it's great that he donated organs (I am signed up to donate my own) and this is not a dig at Leach, only a joke about his reputation as a prolific drinker of soda / cola.

BRH Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Someone pointed out to me recently that 9 of Leach's assistants have gone on to hold 15 D-1 head coaching jobs, and he was only 61. Quite a coaching tree. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeerie Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Always appreciated his sideline interviews. He had such a dry sense of humor. Sneakily hysterical! RIP coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heels20X6 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 RIP Mr. Leach. During the tougher times of the Bills era, I really enjoyed the running gag where every coach we had should have been replaced by him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 RIP Coach Leach. He was a true original in the game of football and will be missed. There was a noted poster on TBD, "The Senator" who used to talk him up as a Bills HC candidate that is also no longer with us. RIP Senator as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Crazy how fragile life is. Coaching and seems fine a week ago to this as much as they get paid, I would have no desire to ever be a big time coach. The stress is crazy and fans are constantly calling for your job. Seemed like Leach had a pretty good attitude about things but were there questions about his health before? 25 minutes ago, BillsVet said: RIP Coach Leach.

RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 For those interested, the book “The Perfect Pass” by S.C. Gwynne is an amazing look at The Air Raid Offense. There is some talk about the coaching tree that Mike Leach comes from, and what an innovative mind he had, not only for football, but for life. The football world has lost an innovator and a great mind. REST IN PASSING, Coach Leach! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
