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.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
