    Wreck em’, we at TTU are stunned. Regardless of how it ended here, no common fan ever wanted him to go. He built up TTU’s rough and rowdy reputation

    What happened at Texas Tech was between him and the administration. The Raider nation never stopped loving him and is in mourning today.

      You are exactly right. Tech alum here and I always said that if we played against Leach going forward, I would pull for his team out of spite. Tech football owes its modern day existence to him. I hope that our boys run onto the field at the Texas Bowl this year carrying a huge pirate flag in his honor. The man deserves it!
      WreckEm!!

    He was one of those guys you weren't quite sure was pulling your leg or serious. Probably both. His tongue was firmly in-cheek his whole life. Never cared much about the defense, or he might have won a conference title or two more, and maybe a natty. His offense was that good. I hope we get more coaches like him, that aren't afraid to be themselves, not apologetic for the decisions they make, and are interesting outside the world of football in a conversation. The sport needs less of the stodgy, question-dodging, "don't you know who the star is?" coaches.

      Leach and Wazzu were such a perfect fit. Even as a fan of another P12 team, I was a little sad when he took the MS State job because I thought Pullman was where he was meant to be. He built a great program and culture up there, and brought a lot of character to this conference. Something it desperately needed.

    Not mentioned in this video was his playoff "rant" that is my personal favorite when Leach was at WSU as well. Best part, he was totally correct and if CFB is smart, they may want to take a listen. The method since it's inception is bad, this year included.

    I left WSU before Mike was HC there. I remember back to when he was, I think the feeling from other Pac-12 teams was they were concerned going against his offensive scheme. He seemed to have an answer to everything a defense would throw at him. He was a true Head Coach.
