Even though Tigers coach has tried hard to get under Arkansas Razorback coach's skin, this Mike Leach Hall of Fame cause is bigger
DALLAS – As obnoxious as Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz's over the top effort to manufacture the faux Battle Line Rivalry with Arkansas into something real can be, even the most hardened Hog fans had to set their sweet tea down and utter an amen when the Mizzou coach called on special action to be taken to put Mike Leach on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot.
"I understand that standards are there for people to make decisions," Drinkwitz said. "But, I also understand that Coach Leach would be a great value to the Hall of Fame because of the legacy that he has, because the impact that he made, because of the innovator that he was, because of the legacy of coaches that he left, and in my opinion, not only a winner, but a Hall of Famer.
Then he went to Pullman, Washington, a town even more remote than Lubbock and without the advantage of a Texas high school football system thriving while running offenses birthed by Leach. Washington State handed him four of his five losing seasons over his 21 years as a head coach. A year later he had his choice of embattled SEC program to resurrect. In true Leach fashion, he considered the two most downtrodden schools at the time, Arkansas and Mississippi State, before ultimately deciding to do the Lord's work of winning season after winning season in Starkville during the NIL era.
