Mike Leach does not like hot dogs #shorts

College football coach Mike Leach died at the age of 61 after complications from a heart condition. To put the two-time national coach of the year’s impact on the game of football into words isn’t easy. His personality on and off the field made it easy for college football fans, and even people who don’t watch sports, to have a good laugh and maybe even learn something along the way. His candid soundbites from his multi-decade career almost always went viral.

It seems just about everyone who has crossed paths with Leach has a story to tell about him, and will remember his impact on the sport for years to come.

I have gotten a shitload of Mike Leach videos lately, no idea why, but it’s good

[frankmurphy]

I'm glad he was still respectful to those who do enjoy hotdogs 😂

[terrysamuels]

RIP Coach Leach 🙏 😢 💔
He always finds a way to make you laugh! We miss you Coach Leach!

[jasonmilly]

we've lost a great man at a wrong time. Everyone loved this man. I wish he had coached at my school.

National Treasure. He was my favorite person earth for years…then he became the coach of my Bulldogs and I felt like I hit the lottery. Really going to miss him. Felt like we had 10 more years with him. 😭

I'm definitely not a MSU fan by anyway. Growing up in Baton Rouge, I grew up a LSU fan and with that, I have learned to swallow my pride.
Mike Leach was one hell of a coach for Miss. State. I am so sorry for the family, friends and players that lost apart of themselves. Prayers are with you all.

[scottswin]

He’s such a funny guy. Wish I had followed him more when he was alive.

[sweetmatthew]

Prayers for your health! You're a great guy!

[Morgans_Mom]

I'm a Bama fan... don't hold that against me... Leach was a football coach that had "dry humor", but he was a wise and humorous coach, I followed him from Texas Tech, Washington, and then Mississippi State. He is a college football treasure, that will SURELY BE MISSED!!
🙏🙏Prayers to his family, friends, and all of his players! God Bless You, Coach Leach, YOU Will Be Missed!!🙏🙏

This fall won't be the same. Coach was a national treasure.

[williambrown]

Coach was a different animal loved his post game interviews

[hampward]

Yes will love you and you have left many good examples here in football history

Hot dogs simply are not food. Last I tried, my cat wouldn't touch them and they didn't mold at room temperature.

Former Chicagoan of 52 years here - Chicago hot dogs feature (at least) yellow mustard (yecch), raw onions (yecch), and weirdly-green relish (the relish I like but the food coloring I could live without). Terrible. I like hot dogs, but I got real tired of everyone around Chicago clutching their pearls and fainting when I would put ketchup on my hotdog.

[waleszczak]

That’s hilarious and we will miss him.

[nmelkhunter]

If he had marginally better talent at TT he would have won a national championship. RIP Pirate.

RIP coach
But I still love fried bologna sandwiches back in the sixties that's all my parents could afford that and shit on a shingle

[vincequinn]

Coach shouldn't have taken the poisonous jab

[stroys]

I ate a lot of bologna sandwiches as a kid. I still love em but they’re crap for nutrition.
