I was managing ok until I kept watching all these pressers. now I'm tearing up thinking our best chance at anything like this now is Lane fucking Kiffin

It's a good thing I'm not at my desk right now.

I too need to step away from this.

I am working from home so I can show emotion, it's difficult to work this morning. I can't imagine what his family is going through

Is this the first active D1 HC to die since the HC at Northwestern before Fitzgerald?

Had not recalled that. Was gonna say Joe Morrison at South Carolina in 1989.

I was tearing up in the car listening to ESPNU radio Meyer, Neuheisel, Mullen, all talking about him

"there's still candy innovation"
"I like the Sprees in a box. You have to go to the dollar store to find them. And I do."

He had a unique way of inserting those comments ( ex, and I do) that was just a great part of his sense of humor

You got us Coach. RIP and swing your sword.

I was just talking to my boss who is a former coach and he pulled up some instructional videos of Leach when he was at Kentucky. He had a technique called the noose for how to catch a ball. Some of the stuff they were doing in the late 90's was way ahead of its time. Leach definitely gets credit for being a great personality for the sport but not enough for his coaching innovations.

Pretty sure they will embalm or cremate Mike so I don't see him becoming the grass that feeds the beast that feeds us.

Don’t think that happens when you burry people in caskets anyways, at least not for a while.

Cemeteries are kinda dated and need to be phased out IMO

Sink ‘em all into the swamp.

Classic.

 

[Peter Gozintite]

I just wish there were more guys like him in coaching, and basically in general. He will be missed, and not more by anyone than his family, but I have to imagine the absolute out pouring of love and respect has to cushion the blow a little.

I like college football a little less knowing he isn't going to be in it anymore.

Always loved when he’d come up when Neuheisel did a weekly interview on Softy’s show. He was clearly very fond of him (as everyone seems to be, I guess it’s stating the obvious).

It had to be pretty great to do the beat reporter/analyst job and draw Leach, and know that your discussion would go from football to aliens to Sasquatch to mascot fights.
