A brilliant and unapologetically unique human being. We all love and will miss Mike Leach.

Truly 1 of 1 Rest In Peace Mike Leach

[@Nutrition_77]

I was so excited to see where the bulldogs would be next year with him. It’s always been tough being a State fan but this hurts exponentially worse than any loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to family at this time.

[@nosamyelnun4433]

Hail State man

[@Ki11Th3mA11Kid]

As a big Cougars fan. The man brought life into that program. I loved his tenure with us.

[@utmastuh]

Made us relevant again after almost a decade of embarrassment. Was a bummer when he left and now even worse he left Earth

[@Ki11Th3mA11Kid]

@utmastuh9100 Damn right. I'm only 27 and my entire family is huskies fans. I was born in Yakima and chose at a young age to be a coug fan. I didn't get to relish the Ryan Leaf saga. But Leech brought true greatness to us. And Cameron Ward this year looked stellar

[@pascho1057]

@@Ki11Th3mA11Kiddamn minshew doesn’t get a mention he changed the program

[@charlesreinhart8867]

That's exactly what he did for Texas Tech. Watching Tech while he was there was a blast and no game was out of reach!

[@scalnation3069]

@@pascho1057 minshew was great. Too bad the EWU WB didn't start the following year

[@tomjackson7755]

I live in the area of WSU, GO COUGS. My favorite Coach Leach quote went: People that think you have to pass 50% of the time and run 50% of the time are 50% stupid. I call the plays that my personnel dictates. RIP Coach!

[@zachdamenti4387]

A legendary head coach will be remembered...rest in peace, Mike Leach

[@adams8585]

An absolutely real dude and one of the greatest to ever coach the game. RIP coach Leach

[@mrtony1985]

Mike Leach never coached a team I was a fan of, but damn how could anyone not like the guy? I've often binge watched his interviews because of how epically hilarious he is. He seemed like a genuine and authentic good guy. RIP coach Leach. Hope his family and everyone at his program are doing okay.

[@thomaswilliams1742]

I was so excited to see him go to Miss St., Watched some of his Texas Tech years and really is one of only a few college coaches who's name I know. RIP coach

[@marvonair]

Not only one of the best coaches, but one of the best interviewees. RIP Coach Leach.

[@WillGristle]

Eastern Washington will always love Mike Leach, RIP

[@lochnessmonster5149]

Coach Mumme came up with the base system but says Mike Leach took ownership of it and pushed it to it's limits. He even gave it it's name, the "Air Raid." He wanted a cool name so he could publicize it, which he was great at. Leach was one of those people who threw himself into everything he did and was really great at everything.

[@traviscoates6878]

That Texas Tech team with Crabtree was insane. Leech revolutionized the college game. RIP

[@jamesmilton6331]

I was at THE UT game, his impact on the university and the student identity and student experience lasted long after he left. He was a shining example that you don't have to fit a mold, be your true self and put in the work.

[@SnowboardJedi]

I went to a few of those Tech v UT games and it was always fun

[@gblyndensrandomreviews]

It has been remarkable how many of my friends had met him and taken pictures with him in my FB feed. Another local company had a picture of him visiting their local outdoors shop. My Mom’s side were all Cougs, so this feels closer to home than it should. RIP Coach! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@gromsgaming1256]

I remember when he was at Texas Tech who can forget when they beat Texas with that Michael Crabtree last second TD.

[@jorbur3604]

Mike Leach was a hell of a guy, being from Lubbock I can tell you nobody there was happy when he was fired (we still hate Craig & Adam James to this day because of that) and when he went to WSU pretty much everybody was rooting for him to succeed up there, which he did. The guy elevated programs, and I think if he had gotten a chance to go to a major program, with better recruiting resources, instead of mid-level one he'd have been in the CFP and might have eventually won one; the guy may have talked in circles but he was a genius.

They still owe him(and now his family) money

[@mcoates326]

LEACH IS IMMORTAL

[@cameronwood335]

Mike Leach was a hell of a coach and this was definitely a wtf moment when I found out his legacy won't be forgotten. Most of college football will be rooting for Mississippi State this post season or at least I could only hope this is the case.

[@LilFletch926]

His body may be gone but his spirit will live in the hearts of college football fans forever

[@cbogolo]

He was one of the last of a dieing breed of coaches. He was Iike the college football version of Bobby knight or Bob huggins

[@mel1554]

RIP Coach!

[@danielvaladez3210]

As a defensive player having played WAZZU...damn that air raid offense man. I respect the hell out of coach and he'll be in the CFB hall of fame in Atlanta if he ain't already.

[@officialzacht]

he needs to be but in order to be in you have to have a 60% win pct or something and he’s at like 59.6. They need to change the rule he led his teams to bowl games like 19 out of 21 seasons. For sure should be a hof

[@jomccutcheon2173]

Everyone who loved college football loved Mike Leach, he was a great coach, and from everything, I've heard a wonderful human being. RIP Coach Leach...

[@Mclovinit8171]

You will be missed Mike it breaks my heart to wake up to this news

[@useyowords9745]

Can you imagine of Leach ever came on the show? It would’ve been LEGENDARY

[@JabezGill]

I wish Pat McAfee would make this more of an NFL/CFB show. Kinda frustrates me how little attention they give to college games/players/coaches… especially with Pat on GameDay & with how many college kids/players watch this show it seems like a natural fit.

[@useyowords9745]

Yeah I like him on game day but you can tell that he doesn’t really have a feel for the sport like the other members do. He’ll get there though.

[@WYO_BONES]

[@PeterTX]

You mean the time that a player suffered a possible concussion and Leach put him in the air-conditioned practice facility to get him out of the heat? And how he turned off the lights in there to help reduced the strain on the kid's eyes incase the concussion was serious? Sounds to me like he was ahead of his time in caring for the physical health of his players. The allegations you refer to came to light after TTU administrators were unhappy with his contract demands and were looking for a reason to fire him and severe the agreement. So they had one of their loyal alumni lean on some players to come forward with any allegation of misconduct. The firing of Leach is looked on in hindsight as a huge screw-up that set TTU athletics back years. Just look at his reputation after leaving Tech, not one single allegation of wrongdoing, and all his players and coaches love him.
