I remember my dad emailed Mike Leach back in 2008, and told him he was a 1st time youth coach and needed to come up with some plays. So Leach sent him back the full Texas Tech playbook.

Leach was just telling Minshew the truth. The only half-truth part was that Minshew might have been relegated to 4th string at Alabama, not 3rd. Minshew took it and ran with it, and now is making his mark in the NFL. Minshew was so much fun to watch, his senior season!

My favorite mike leach story is when he created a fake play script when he was offensive coordinator at Oklahoma and had the tight end “lose it” next to the longhorn sideline. He then created a real script with plays that would work perfectly against what Texas thought they were doing. Watch the video ESPN did about it. It’s hilarious.

Congressman Kent Hance engineered that whole fiasco because he was determined to please a handful of pious Tech donors who were hearing rumors of Leach partying with his team. I imagine they're all over Lubbock news social media the last few days still telling us Mike's ouster was "for the good of the U". Hance saw himself as a VIP when he returned from his his short stint in the House of Representatives. I imagine his DC connections didn't hurt in him getting the Tech job. Lubbock was building a winner tradition never before seen on the Texas Plains. Hance wasn't about to let Mike upstage him - but Kent couldn't win the PR war against the charismatic Leach. Nor could Kent win an intellectual battle with Leach. Mike could even out-folksy Kent every day of the week, and that was the only game Kent had. His rise through the political ranks to Chancellor of TTU is proof intellect isn't required. Watch some of his speeches on the House floor during debate. Even Kent's press releases during the Leach controversy were embarrassing to his high school teachers in Dimmitt. A timeline of events in chronological order indicates Craig and Kent tried to use Adam and the free airtime ESPN gave Craig to smear Mike's reputation so thoroughly he'd never coach another college team. Having failed, their consolation prize was cheating Mike out of his million $$ bonus. Even the judge in Mike's lawsuit embarrassed Lubbock. Who advised Craig to run for congress immediately after Leach was fired? Who advised Tommy Tubby to run for congress after his fiasco at TTU? Why was Hance's contract renewed after all the bad publicity he brought on Tech. Why were there no Tech alumni on the board of regents? Do grads (regents) of universities across the nation care if Lubbock loses the best shot at a championship football program they ever had? Nope! They're interested in Tech's wind research, in building wind farms, in the med and law school, etc.

A few of those Oklahoma championship run years (even if they didn't win), was off his air raid schemes, but with good players. So it does bear out. In fact, the only reason Oklahoma won so hard against them in that 2008 year, was because Bob Stoops and co even admitted 'we ran almost that exact same offense a couple years back, and we came prepared to stop it'.

I love that Mike Leach has gone onto become an immensely successful living legend while Craig James and his daughter Adam have gone onto become disgraced, embarrassed, and unemployable pariahs. It's one of the great justices in human history. When I'm really sad that thought always brings a smile to my face.

I was at the Alamobowl when Washington state was there. Meeting Mike Leach was amazing just a great guy. I wouldn’t mind to sit and talk to him.

Cole, Great coverage on this fascinating football coach. Well done!

I've always been impressed by Leach. He would consistently have a "less talented" team perform way above expectations. His weirdness also just appeals to me as I consider myself to be fairly outside the box lol.

I was there at tech during those last years which I call Tech’s glory years. Wreck Em’ Leach

Leach is an awesome guy. I did my impression of him in front of him and he was a great sport about it. He's like a Drew Brees or an Arnold Palmer. He'll try to stay and see every fan and talk with them as long as he can.

As an Auburn man, I wanted him to come in 09. Still would love to have him. Just knowing the southern stuck in the mud dead fish that control everything at Auburn, they wouldn't allow him to himself and want to control him too much. Which is a shame. So, I just have to stay up late nights and watch WSU every chance I get since they are now my second favorite team in the country BECAUSE Mike Leach is there -- imo, probably the most misunderstood and most underrated coach in the land.
