Without him we wouldn’t have Patrick mahomes. Kliff Kingsbury wouldn’t be coach of the cardinals. And we wouldn’t have Baker Mayfield for that matter.
Leach liked Riley’s football acumen, but the team told him he was no good. So Leach made him a volunteer coach as a sophomore. He went on to join the staff and at another school became the youngest OC in CFB. He did great at OU and in one year has turned USC into a winner. All from Mike Leach.
