Probably the most colorful Head Football Coach of our time. From Halloween Candy to Thanksgiving sides to Christmas Fun. Definitely leads a void no one can fill. Prayers to his Family and Team.

The world of college football is a lesser place with his passing. Brilliant offensive mind. His press conferences were always entertaining.
In a way, he’s connected to OSU with the “I’m 40!” rant which came after a victory against his Red Raiders.
RIP and full sails ahead.

Always enjoyed his comments. Something about that fat little girlfriends rant gets me every time.

One memory about him that always sticks with me is his cameo appearance on a Friday Night Lights episode which came shortly after his very public falling out with Texas Tech. His first line was priceless “Hey do you know how to get to Lubbock?” LOL. Here is the full clip. You've lost your inner-pirate - YouTube

I thought he shut an ESPN staff member son in a closet to help with relieve concussion symptoms. Or is that sarcasm?
Kid was a cry baby.

It was some controversy over Craig James son brought on by Craig James who had a big platform at ESPN at the time. IMO Craig was/is a large dic*k. Texas Tech jumped on to Craig’s complaints and used them as an excuse to fire coach Leach. It seems that Coach Leach’s intellect and personality rubbed some of the Texas Tech powers that be the wrong way. This is at least what I have concluded after sorting through all the info that came out about the situation. Of course Texas Tech and Craig James claim the facts to be different which is understandable.

No doubt, a lot of things didn’t add up. I kinda remember the situation. I think the Old KU coach can’t spell his last name was kinda abusive. But almost everyone that has talk about Mike has said many good things.
