Mike Leach thread

Zoomer generation just can't wait to be the ones to break the news first.
Basic offense was minimal plays; multiple formations.An innovator, with a bonus of dry wit/quotability.
Chuck Klosterman summarized Leach’s impact & philosophy in a chapter from “Eating the Dinosaur,” (written when Leach was at Texas Tech, but it applies to general approach to offense that also succeeded at Wazzu and Mississippi State).

Klosterman: "Eating the Dinosaur"
In an excerpt from his book "Eating the Dinosaur," Chuck Klosterman breaks down the game of football.www.espn.com
A key Leach quote from the excerpt (even better if you imagine hearing him say it):
“There's two ways to make it more complex for the defense," Leach told journalist Michael Lewis, writing for The New York Times Magazine. "One is to have a whole bunch of different plays, but that's no good because then the offense experiences as much complexity as the defense. Another is a small number of plays run out of lots of different formations. That way, you don't have to teach a guy a new thing to do. You just have to teach him new places to stand."
Don't blame Coach Snyder. @jereseib runs his twitter account.
Ironically Coach Leach would probably love that Snyder tweeted his death before he actually died
Maybe Snyder gave Leach some of his vampire powers and brought him back to us?
He probably passed but Gramps wasn't supposed to post it.
Bill Snyder today:
I should type a tweet about Leach for when he passes soon (types tweet).
Now i’ll just hit the old save button to send it later (sends tweet).
Wait . . . ****? Sharon get in here!

Lol, I'd be about 100th in his list of family members they'd give access to his Twitter account.
I think it would have probably been an embarrassing thing yesterday. Chris Beard has moved the embarrassment needle
Been an active 30 hours (and media response subsequently) for arguably 2 of the 4 highest profile coaches IMO of former TTU coaches.
*Prayers to Leach family

Snyder's 83. I'll give him a pass and at least he owned up to it.
If he was a true modern tweeter he'd just double down on the original mishap no matter what.
