One of the best characters in not only college football but in all of American sports. Just an all around cool guy

Oregon fan here. Coach Leach was a great innovator and his WSU teams always gave us a battle and beat us at times. Rest in peace, Coach.

I was born and raised in Levelland, TX my whole family is Texas Tech except for me. I’m a die hard Longhorn fan and went to so many seasons of Tech games in Lubbock! I Loved Mike Leach he was a one of a kind, said what he was thinking and a great coach! I hated losing to him but I respected him because when we lost we got out coached! Football lost a legend in my opinion. I’m heartbroken 😔 and praying 🙏 for his family

“If you get into a fight, don’t take your helmet off...We’re looking for smart football players, not dumb ones. In the interest of time, don’t get into any more fights today.” - Mike Leach. Priceless.

[RenaissanceThinking]

At least at Tech, he had a John Wayne movie reference before every game. He hated to punt. He loved to joke and enjoy life.
We will miss you Coach.🏴‍☠️

[timothywoods]

Rest In Peace Sir and prayers to your family. 🙏🏾

May the field always be green for you up above coach. Definitely one of my favorite coaches of all time. He never ran the team I root for, but I always watched his press conferences. He will be missed.
