Here's everything to know about the legendary Mike Leach, his family and football legacy.
Did Mike Leach play football?
Leach went to Valdosta State and Kentucky with Mumme and, in 1998, Kentucky's offense made quarterback Tim Couch into a superstar and led to Couch being selected by the Cleveland Browns as the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1999. Leach joined Bob Stoops' staff at Oklahoma in 1999 becoming the school's offensive coordinator before taking the Texas Tech job in 2000.During Leach's three seasons at Mississippi State, the Bulldogs went 19-17, including 8-4 in 2022.
The offense combined elements of a no-huddle scheme, where the quarterback is exclusively in the shotgun formation, with the offensive lineman spread out, sometimes nearly two yards apart. This allows the quarterback to make quick decisions and avoid the pass rush. Sometimes, the short passing game was an extension of the running game, which was used more infrequently over the years. Nine times in the past decade, Leach's teams were in the top ten in passes attempted.
Lincoln Riley played under Leach at Texas Tech, then joined the staff and worked his way to becoming a wide receivers coach. Riley is the head coach at Southern Cal.
