RIP Mike Leach

[Mr. Scot]

Leach coached our own Frankie Luvu in college.

Don't follow the college game very closely, but the things I heard about Coach Leach led me to believe he was a man of character, insight, and intelligence.  If Luvu is any indication of the kinds of players he produces, then he must have been a helluva coach.

There have been tons of get we'll wishes recently and loads of people eulogizing him today.

His death was very sudden and unexpected.

Why is @4Cornerspoo’ing a post about a man taken too soon and his positive impact on his players?

He was not universally loved as he tended to be rather abrasive but he was a very talented head coach and offensive scheme guy.

Dennis Leary probably put it best when he said all the really talented people die young while the people you want to die just seem to go on and on and on. "You could put Motley Crue in a room with two tons of cocaine and they'd probably just come out going "We're gonna do a double live album now!"
 

Sounds like we lost a great one.

RIP coach Leach.

Because he unthinkingly poos my posts like a 4 year old holding a grudge because I everscirated him in a debate years ago and he's still butthurt over it.

What a class human being.

Sad. He was a true innovator of the game. Leach was on of the guys who built the foundation of the modern college offense and the modern NFL offense looks a lot more like a college offense than the standard "pro style offense" of yesteryear.

Man. I try not to get too emotional about celebrity deaths, but this one stings.

The Pirate was one of my favorite dudes and made college football infinitely more interesting both on the field and off. An all-time quote machine.

RIP Mike; swing your sword in Heaven.

Not sure why 4 Corners shat on you but Leach was an innovator. Kliff Kingsbury owes his career to Mike Leach. He made guys like Lincoln Riley, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray possible.

He was a real innovator in the game and made the Air Raid system palpable, if not preferred by many around the country seeking to level the playing field against more talented opponents. Tactician, intellectual, and by most accounts a decent human being if not demanding.

I'll miss his Press conferences and general wisdom imparted and I'm sure everyone who knew him feels the same.

Sad day for football. A Sunflower in a field of daisy's has fallen.

[Fright]

Wasn't he fired from Tech for being "abusive" to players or was that some other I take my job a tad too seriously coach?

Oh... fired bc he locked a concussed kid in an equipment room alone for hours... dude was a chode.
