Mike Leach

[GTLiebs]

There may not ever be a more likable person and unique human being in CFB than Mike Leach. There are countless memorable quotes and video clips of Mike Leach saying and doing things only Mike Leach could say or do. I never watched Friday Night Lights but he did a short cameo linked below. For some reason, this stands out to me.



"...you've got to find your inner pirate. A lot of times things just happen for a reason. We don't know why God wants it that way but you can't make the best out of it until you get back your inner pirate. You might be the luckiest man alive and not even know it."

The legend of Pirate Mike Leach will never be forgotten. May he sail on forever in the heart of everyone's inner pirate.

It's so ingrained I have to remind myself he didn't coach at ECU.

"You might be the luckiest man alive and not even know it" I need a plaque with that on it. God bless The Pirate

RIP Coach Leach. You made the game better.

I'm glad most football coaches are roughly of the same personality type at press conferences and interviews so guys like Leach can stand out. What fun he was.

Dang. RIP coach.

All pirate flags to be flown at half mast for 3 days.

Hell of a guy and one hell of a coach. Rest easy, coach!

Life well lived coach! College football was lucky to have you. May the Lord grant the family peace and an inner joy that only comes from Him.

Sad sad day. Gone too soon. God speed Coach! One of a kind.

Guys, if you're in your 50's or close to it, or in high stress profession/environment, go get your calcium score as soon as you can. It's cheap, quick, and fantastic data to see if you need to investigate your heart health further.

Prayers for his family and friends.

Vintage Mike Leach … hilarious!

The untold story of Mike Leach's 'lost' OU play script that fooled Texas

In 1999, the Sooners' offensive coordinator left a play sheet on the field to be discovered by the Longhorns, causing "pandemonium" and nearly engineering an upset.
