Don't follow the college game very closely, but the things I heard about Coach Leach led me to believe he was a man of character, insight, and intelligence.  If Luvu is any indication of the kinds of players he produces, then he must have been a helluva coach.

There have been tons of get we'll wishes recently and loads of people eulogizing him today.

His death was very sudden and unexpected.

He was not universally loved as he tended to be rather abrasive but he was a very talented head coach and offensive scheme guy.

Dennis Leary probably put it best when he said all the really talented people die young while the people you want to die just seem to go on and on and on. "You could put Motley Crue in a room with two tons of cocaine and they'd probably just come out going "We're gonna do a double live album now!"
 

Sounds like we lost a great one.

RIP coach Leach.

Not sure why 4 Corners shat on you but Leach was an innovator. Kliff Kingsbury owes his career to Mike Leach. He made guys like Lincoln Riley, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray possible.

He was a real innovator in the game and made the Air Raid system palpable, if not preferred by many around the country seeking to level the playing field against more talented opponents. Tactician, intellectual, and by most accounts a decent human being if not demanding.

I'll miss his Press conferences and general wisdom imparted and I'm sure everyone who knew him feels the same.

Sad day for football. A Sunflower in a field of daisy's has fallen.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
