‘What the #&$@ is going on right now?’: Inside Mike Leach’s QB meetings
"He really wasn’t into pirates as much as I thought he was going to be."

I'm pretty sure your typical sports fan in Iowa is well aware of the story by now. They did a big media blitz on it when a book was written about it a little while back.

No and if you do twitter check out the posts from the Tech athletics profile. It’s all people ripping on them for screwing him out of money and now being disingenuous after his death.
Hope he's up there having fun with all his fat little girlfriends in the sky.
His last game was an upset of #20 Mississippi in the Egg Bowl in Oxford.
Big win for Leach and the Bulldogs.
I know it wasn't planned that way, but I'm glad he had a good Swan Song like that.

Did he ever do this with Big 12 mascots? I would like to hear him explain how a Red Raider would confront a Cyclone!
I had never seen that before today. That is pure gold right there...
Quite simply, Bob Stoops hiring him at OU was the most transformative coaching hire in B12 history.
damn. he would have been a great replacement for corso on gameday.

Here you can click on staff. Looks like he had a diverse staff and that is desperately needed in football.

Always thought he would be perfect fit at Iowa state. Wins with less, knows the state, unique system, wouldn't be afraid of the challenge. Would have been footballs Johnny Orr. Too bad it never happened.
From the Lubbock, Pullman, and Starkville stops its obvious he wasn't searching for the limelight, so Ames could have worked.
Can you image if we was able to get the air raid going at Florida (if they would have hired him)? With those athletes down there?
His early Tx Tech coaching staffs were incredible.

A crazy cradle of coaches: Mike Leach’s original Texas Tech staff and team
They were outsiders whose style of play made them the in-crowd. Now nearly two dozen of them have gone on to prominent coaching roles.

Technically Larry’s post is accurate however Riley was a walk on and did not play. He was a student volunteer assistant the following year.
Plus there are additional coaches on that staff that should can be added to the list.
