Rest in peace Coach Leach I hate to see you gone we should have gotten at least another 5-10 years with you.

At least that many.... I've always admired his candid demeanor and swashbuckling style. I don't think there are many, if any, other coaches that could've achieved the sustained success at the schools he did. A big middle finger to the established powers will be his legacy. 

Leach played football through high school, but an ankle injury derailed any thoughts of college football. However, during his time at BYU, Lavell Edwards let him hang around and learn the ropes of coaching....and spread offenses.
