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.

He was indeed a wise man.

His understanding of weddings, from the groom-to-be perspective, was without parallel.

He was a character but he was also a winner - you can be eccentric when you win. RIP Coach Mike Leach. Sixty-one is young for these days.

Washington and Washington State Football teams were both without coaches and Leach was still out of work after he had got fired from Texas Tech.

UW passed on him because of that, but WSU didn’t care and hired him. As a UW fan, I was upset the Huskies passed, but when WSU got him, I was happy because the guy would definitely pump some much-needed life into Cougar football.

RIP Coach Mike Leach. You were great for TT Red Raider football before you went on to other teams. Thanks for everything...

Anybody associated with a contemporary university who in a press conference can get away with talking about his players “fat little girlfriends” has to be somebody special. College football could use more pirates on the side-lines. RIP, coach.

I highly recommend watching the clips. He’s quite the character. Again, RIP Mike Leach.

I loved the story about the wrong number. What a character! I got to see TT play Minnesota at the Insight Bowl about a dozen years ago. It was bitterly cold that day in Tempe and we were thinking of leaving, but we ended up staying because of TT’s crazy plays. They came back from a 31-point deficit and ended up winning the game.

Leach was the college football king IMO and we’ll never see the likes of him again. May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
