Very sad news. Much too young.

Awful news, one of the best personalities around and an innovator.

Rest in Peace Coach Leach...

Seemed like such a great guy so this is sad, but not down with the Almond Joy.

I truly loathe the term "Rest in Power". Anyway Rest In Peace coach.

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.

RIP. One of a kind.

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..."
