OT: Mike Leach passes away

I wanted to post about this yesterday but could not express my feelings. Coach Leach was one of a kind and he will be missed by the sports world. Coach Leach, just know you did your best and did it with integrity, RIP.
 
Massive heart attack at home in Starkville flown to Jackson but he had been out for 15 minutes. Ultimately taken off life support and in his final act of generosity donated his organs. Miss St is coming here to Tampa for the Outback Bowl. I didn't know much about him but he was quite the character and innovator. RIP
 
Very sad. I think he was available when Tandy Edsall abandoned the team for Maryland and I remember wondering if he was a possible candidate.
 
A Key West regular, Mike Leach leaves a legacy — and an empty bar stool

Nice write-up about him in the Washington Post. "This was the coach’s favorite haunt in his favorite town, a place he fled to often, when he would get worn down by the grind of college football and tired of debating and just needed to disappear. He could jump on his bicycle and ride from his cozy bungalow to his bar stool at Captain Tony’s in three minutes flat. He would sit among the signed bras draped over a pipe, the dollar bills stapled to the wall, downing Crown Apple until closing time. Sometimes he would mix it up by ordering nothing but tequila. When he was feeling aristocratic, as the man who forever changed the way football teams play offense, he would spend all night drinking Brandy Alexanders..."
