    Rest Well Coach.. you are one of a kind and brought joy to many people. Praying for your family 1 Corinthians 2:9.

    The first I heard of Mike was in the book The Perfect Pass: American Genius and the Reinvention of Football. I've followed him ever since. My favorite coach.

    You know you lost a wonderful person when the rival coach can't help but honestly speak well of him. Much respect, Coach Kiffin! And it IS true: we lost a great coach and person. EVERYBODY from all over the country, not just the SEC, loved Coach Leach as a person/coach. I pray for the well-being and recovery of all who knew Coach Leach, especially the Leach family and the Mississippi State University football community. Rest in peace, Coach Leach, and I KNOW you'll lead Heaven State University to many many championships up there!

    Vol fan here. Coach Leach has always been my favorite coach. An amazing football mind and a great sense of humor. I often times find myself watching videos of his goofy interviews and I always laugh each time. Gone from Earth too soon. Prayers for his family and friends. Godspeed Coach.

    Mike Leach was so easy to love he’s the only
    Opposition coach that everybody loved! That’s hard to do in college football but it wasn’t for him! Lovable guy will be missed ! Godspeed coach!

    Classy remarks but more importantly honest remarks from lane kiffin. Sad day for the state of Mississippi but good to see that respect will rise above the rivalry

    I watched him coach 20yrs at least and I can’t recall ever seeing a black quarterback on the field playing for him …….🤔🧐 did he even have one on any roster???😮

    OU grad who moved to Columbus, Ohio in summer 2008, and I knew it was a short term assignment. A few months later in November 2008, Boss Man offered me free tickets to “The Game” hosted in Columbus that year, or flight and tix to go back to OKC and watch OU vs. TX Tech, after that Crabtree v. TX catch a few weeks earlier. To this day, I can’t believe I turned down once in a lifetime tOSU vs. Mich TIX at the Horseshoe to watch TX Tech vs. OU. That was the street cred Leach had built TX Tech into. I knew that was my only chance at watching “The Game” ever in my life and I PROUDLY passed it up and still DO NOT REGRET my decision to this day. Thanks Coach Leach for the impact to OU (1999 – my freshman year at OU) and for making the story of a lifetime to turn down tOSU/Michigan in favor of OU/Texas Tech! Would not trade it for the world!

    Leach wasn’t just a great football mind but has a great coaching tree. He was also very smart off the field and just as quirky. College football will truly miss him as will I.
    He never coached at a blue blood but always had success everywhere he went.
    Rest in peace to the pirate and gone too soon.

    You can tell he seemed off the past couple of months I watched them play. His color just looked gone and his head looked swollen almost. I also noticed that in Bob Saget and Ray Liotta before their passing. After Bama got done one day I switched over and started watching State and told my gf that he looked off to me. He didn't seem his normal self. You can really tell in that Egg Bowl video like Lane said, he even noticed something. I absolutely hate we lost this man. He was such an amazing human being through and through.

  21. Chris Smith

    Just an absolutely amazing human being. I mean, folks use the word AMAZING far too often in today’s world, however Mike Leach was an absolute gem and an AMAZING individual. As I am an Ole Miss fan and supporter through and through, we are an entire state that gets constantly shat upon.
    The fact that we can truly come together to appreciate such a wonderful mind in not only the game of football, but the mind of an AMAZING individual and a one of a kind personality that certainly will never be replicated again.

    Rest easy Pirate 🏴‍☠️

    You’ll always have a fan in me

  22. David Fraser

    I Met Coach Leach. He was a type of individual, you just enjoy listening to.A type of person you would want as a good friend!

  23. I Packed Yo Lunch Fool

    I love Mike leach man he kept us on the edge of our seats. Losing him is a big hit to the sec college football and Saturdays man. Mike was so laid back and straight up forward at the same time part of the real old school. He was Normally the smartest down to earth 🌎 guy in the room. May the lord bless him for all the peoples he's helped and impacted. 🙏

  25. Christopher Ross

    Much respect for Lane right here! A game is suppose to be fun, but hate is not the way. Our Mississippi coaches have displayed the path of how life should be! I'm a State fan, but support Lane and his team in his bowl game! God Bless you Lane, and Mike Leach!

  28. Scott Jacuk

    One of the greatest personalities in ALL of sport. Not just football. Coach Leach will be greatly missed. The world was a better place with him in it.

  29. mike young

    It's true. Dan Mullen loved to stoke the flames of hate between Ole Miss and MSU. Mike Leach and Lane have reframed the rivalry with less hate and more love for our fellow Mississippians. That doesn't have to reduce the intensity of this great rivalry. It does make this state a better place.

  30. Dineaux Jones

    LSU fan and I was happy when MSU hired Coach Leach. It was great to see him in the SEC and to a team that could use a guy like him running that program. Coach Leach will be missed and prayers to his family. Hail State.

  33. Greg Johnson

    I love this. Thanks Lane Kiffin. I’m a lifelong VOL but you are more than that year, and you did what anyone would do in such a situation. This is the best and I look forward to watching your teams no matter. Thanks for spreading the love. We need it.

  34. Gideon 33

    I’m Miami fan since 1982 and it’s hard to imagine College Football without Mike Leach. His face was all too familiar with the Game. My prayers & blessings & sympathies 😢to his family, his friends, his team & Mississippi State.He will be sorely missed.

    This is glamorizing an activity that is barbaric, just like the gladiators in Roman Colosseum. Most players are from poor families who endanger and compromise their health. It is a sad commentary on American society. And just like the Roman Colosseum: The real beasts are in the audience.

  38. Gerry Christiansen

    Leach is an American Treasure. I think of him in the same vain as Mark Twain, will be someone that people will talk about still in 100+ years. Truly will miss him!

    Watchung the L. Faulk /C. Holliday Leach coached games was fun.
    Almost no running at all, pass all night long. Breack all passing records possible.
    4th and 1. On wazzu 35. No question go long!!
    Watching those wazzu games late at night was fun football night cause Mike Leach was lighting up the skies. Pac12 after dark with the pirate at wazzu was fun to watch.

    I met Coach Leach in a Coffee shop in Key West Florida and he was just a down to earth guy. At the time he wasn't Coaching and I told him I wished he would be the Miami Hurricane Head Coach , I told him with his Offense and all that speed in South Florida he could do miracles. We talked for about 5 minutes and went on our separate ways. I felt I had made a friend that day and I know why he had so much success in a tough profession . God Bless you Coach Leach and thanks for the memories……

    A real character. Did things his own way, marched to his own drummer, and just one of the smartest dudes to ever walk a sideline.
