Haywarduck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted December 13, 2022 From never having played football college football, to his fascination with pirates, he was a true free spirit who had a large impact on a broad audience. The pirate left the world a better place, and had fun while doing it, a life well lived! 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseKwacker No. 7 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I always hated it when the Ducks had to play his Cougars. That's gotta be the highest praise you can have for an opposing coach. The guy had a fascinating mind; always a great interview. You never knew what he was going to talk about when he went on some tangent. Truly a sad day for the sports world. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OregonDucks No. 11 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Admittedly, I don’t know a ton about Coach Leach but I always admired his honesty and that he spoke his mind in a direct and straightforward way. He was a great interviewer and seemed to have interests and an opinion in many different areas. Coach Leach had a positive impact on many young men and coaches over his career, and will be remember by college football fans for his innovative Air Raid offensive. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Gone too soon. RIP Coach Leach. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Waddler Moderator No. 13 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Can’t say it any better than he said it himself, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” Where ever you are Mike, don’t ever stop keeping them surprised and guessing.

1Funduck No. 16 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) I always got the feeling that he was just one of the guys sitting around my backyard firepit and drinking a 'Social Lubricant', but was voiced for all the world to hear. You get to speak your mind and sometimes what is said isn't politically correct. It's mostly accurate, usually funny, and is always needed to let off a little steam. I would have 'Loved' to have him around my firepit once or twice and pick his brain. It would have been marked on my historical calendar. I ask, what other coach would garner such attention and emotion from the sports world. FWIW, I'm still laughing about his rant on 'Little Fat Girlfriends'. He was the best!!!!

Ruffian No. 17 Share Posted December 14, 2022 While I wasn’t a fan of his politics, I am a big fan of his humor. Here is a classic that is worthy of sharing during the holidays.

Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 19 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Whether you agree with Mike Leach or not, you have to admit he was one of a kind. I will always remember his news conferences. More often than not, they would go off course and bring a laugh/smile to many of us. One of my favorites is below. He is talking about which Pac-12 mascot would win in a fight. May you RIP, Coach. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
