Did some research and found that a TCU coach did in 1971. Heart attack during a game. I believe his last name was Pittman. A couple have passed in plane crashes. Marshall of course, and I believe one named Bo Rein, head coach at LSU for 15 days.Anyone know when the funeral will be scheduled? My guess is that there will be quite a few well-known head coaches attending.
By the way, I don’t remember ever hearing of an active head coach in college football passing away.
"favorite tech coach"?Prayers for his family! A great coach, the easiest to like, and from what I hear a great man. My favorite Tech coach of all time! RIP Coach Leach
104.9 was playing some "greatest hits" by Leach this morning. One was the "little fat girlfriends" speech. They said something about Leach saying later that he meant "phat", not "fat"--pretty hot and tempting, I think it was. The other was his talk about which mascots in the PAC-12 would win in a fight. He was a humorous guy.

Most of them couldn't stand him after he was fired. They only love him now cause he's famous/popular/they don't have to pay him or his family the $1,000,000 they owe him/them. Cheap ********.Texas Tech is going to have pirate helmet stickers.
If only they were going to pay his estate/family the money they owe him....
BINGO. Penny wise & pound foolish.1,
I've said since it happened that they wouldn't be able to tabulate how much money they lost by not having Leach as coach - recognition, ranking, advertising, merchandise sales, prestige, attendance.
Unfortunately, Mike was warned by his coaches and other coaches, but gave the kid a chance. How many people said "NO" at the previous level?
I spent time in Lubbock. Went to both UT and Tech."favorite tech coach"?
isn't that like saying Erwin Rommel is my favorite ww11 German general?
Very similar response to a question to Ben Hogan from Nick Faldo on a visit to Fort Worth. Asked how to win the US Open, Hogan said his experience was the man who had the lowest score on Sunday afternoon would win.My favorite story about Leach was an interview with the HCs before a bowl game. The question asked of both HC was “what is it going to take to win this game today, coach?”
The opposing coach went into a long speech about effort, execution, minimizing mistakes and penalties, and so on.
When a reporter angled Leach the same question, he answered with, “In my experience, if you score more points than your opponent, you win the game.” Then he walked off leaving a rather surprised reporter standing there alone and not knowing what to say. It was epic and the broadcast guys were laughing. That was classic Mike Leach.
