Mike Leach Is Wild

[@ADeep007]

I remember my dad emailed Mike Leach back in 2008, and told him he was a 1st time youth coach and needed to come up with some plays. So Leach sent him back the full Texas Tech playbook.

[@michaelmerck7576]

Go post every play

[@SmokeyNeyland]

How big was the playbook?

[@godawgs1344]

Back after mike leach has passed away. Rest in peace to one of the most talented and hilarious minds in college football. He will be missed

[@ohioiyboi3875]

Reporter- “how many teams should there be in the college football playoff?” Mike Leach- “64”

[@Z64sports]

@U Haul The NFL has 12 though

[@MurKJrps3]

U Haul the NFL has 12

[@Z64sports]

@U Haul In NCAA that'd be 60 teams

[@aussieaussie4848]

8-12 would be more than enough think about who’s gonna miss maybe not this year tho it’s a pretty clear 4

[@beooftheeuphrates]

i think he was referring to the NCAA basketball bracket and wanting it implemented in football

[@aidenmihill9257]

this man legit said to GARDNER MINSHEW "do you wanna be 3rd string at Alabama or lead the nation in passing" he was that confident in his game and Minshew

[@jdaniels1313]

Leach was just telling Minshew the truth. The only half-truth part was that Minshew might have been relegated to 4th string at Alabama, not 3rd. Minshew took it and ran with it, and now is making his mark in the NFL. Minshew was so much fun to watch, his senior season!

[@crazydrummer181]

Funny that Minshew is from Mississippi. Hopefully Leach can recruit well down here.

[@6starFenrir]

@@jdaniels1313 minshew absolutely making his mark in the nfl.. is he even on a roster anymore lol

people can talk all they want about his weirdness, but the man KNOWS football and is extremely intelligent

American Nationalist the man goes above and beyond. his wit attracts his athletes

[@wonderboyfilmz]

American Nationalist not necessarily with D1 credentials but he gets transfers. and probably could pick someone off the street and have success w him

[@CarnyChic]

How many of his athletes actually graduate from the teams that he's coached? Yeah, I know, who cares. Leach is an asshole and after several years of losing every Apple Cup, he will stink up the entire athletic department.

[@djr1829]

@@CarnyChic shhhhhhhh

[@laquishdanish3386]

And somehow a Donald Trump supporter

[@bassfunkmaster85]

My favorite mike leach story is when he created a fake play script when he was offensive coordinator at Oklahoma and had the tight end “lose it” next to the longhorn sideline. He then created a real script with plays that would work perfectly against what Texas thought they were doing. Watch the video ESPN did about it. It’s hilarious.

[@curtiskretzer8898]

Nefarious.& admirable

[@8kigana]

His being "weird" is a just a cover for being a genius.

[@rockyvaldes8293]

Great video. You nailed it. We'll never forgive the idiots at Texas Tech who fired this great coach. Ever!

[@rt3box6tx74]

Congressman Kent Hance engineered that whole fiasco because he was determined to please a handful of pious Tech donors who were hearing rumors of Leach partying with his team. I imagine they're all over Lubbock news social media the last few days still telling us Mike's ouster was "for the good of the U". Hance saw himself as a VIP when he returned from his his short stint in the House of Representatives. I imagine his DC connections didn't hurt in him getting the Tech job. Lubbock was building a winner tradition never before seen on the Texas Plains. Hance wasn't about to let Mike upstage him - but Kent couldn't win the PR war against the charismatic Leach. Nor could Kent win an intellectual battle with Leach. Mike could even out-folksy Kent every day of the week, and that was the only game Kent had. His rise through the political ranks to Chancellor of TTU is proof intellect isn't required. Watch some of his speeches on the House floor during debate. Even Kent's press releases during the Leach controversy were embarrassing to his high school teachers in Dimmitt. A timeline of events in chronological order indicates Craig and Kent tried to use Adam and the free airtime ESPN gave Craig to smear Mike's reputation so thoroughly he'd never coach another college team. Having failed, their consolation prize was cheating Mike out of his million $$ bonus. Even the judge in Mike's lawsuit embarrassed Lubbock. Who advised Craig to run for congress immediately after Leach was fired? Who advised Tommy Tubby to run for congress after his fiasco at TTU? Why was Hance's contract renewed after all the bad publicity he brought on Tech. Why were there no Tech alumni on the board of regents? Do grads (regents) of universities across the nation care if Lubbock loses the best shot at a championship football program they ever had? Nope! They're interested in Tech's wind research, in building wind farms, in the med and law school, etc.

[@bobcruise945]

Mike Told Me ( and several other ppl ) months before They got him outta Texas Tech that they were out to get Him! And that when He Leaves, That tech would NEVER Be good again!! He was Right! GOD Bless Him.

I love that Mike Leach has gone onto become an immensely successful living legend while Craig James and his daughter Adam have gone onto become disgraced, embarrassed, and unemployable pariahs. It's one of the great justices in human history. When I'm really sad that thought always brings a smile to my face.

Pirate Leach would god damn pillage the FBS if he has 4 and 5 star talent all over.

[@adrianbundy3249]

A few of those Oklahoma championship run years (even if they didn't win), was off his air raid schemes, but with good players. So it does bear out. In fact, the only reason Oklahoma won so hard against them in that 2008 year, was because Bob Stoops and co even admitted 'we ran almost that exact same offense a couple years back, and we came prepared to stop it'.

[@jasonm3871]

I’m so glad we got him at State! Even though the season didn’t look great, he cleaned house and ended the season by being competitive with a small group of young players. He lived up to his reputation of doing more with less. He’s laying the groundwork. Hail State!!!

[@deltaland7287]

5-1 ranked 16th so far in year 3.

[@woozie___]

I'm a Husky fan, but college football in Washington is definitely more fun when the Cougs are doing well and I love Leach and his philosophy. Hope he sticks around forever and keeps the Cougs competitive.

[@JohnRoot34231]

Huskies are just about the only team that can stop the Air Raid. Their DC (now head coach) said he looked forward to playing Wazzu because they were so easy to defend. "They have been doing the same thing for the last five years".

[@ColeAdams]

So, I forgot to upload this like 3 weeks ago hahaha so some of the stats might be a little off but it doesn’t take away from anything I said.
