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.

He probably would have coached longer if he stayed healthy, just a lot of guys retire into their 70’s but he was clearly a huge fan of the sport.
