How so? I follow college ball pretty closely and never heard of him doing anything horrible. Seemed like a funny dude with no filter in his press conferences

Turned wazzu from a perennial loser to having high win totals every year. They beat Oregon 4 or 5 years in a row with him at the helm and often lead the nation in passing. Could never figure out UW though lol.
His legacy in the sport is very far-reaching and goes well beyond wsu though. Father of the air raid offense we see all over college football today, and tons of current nfl/college coaches mentored under him

The only thing I really disliked about leach was the couple of times he threw players under the bus during press conferences and such. I think the guy just had no social awareness around things like that; otherwise he had a tremendous impact on football and the guy was mad funny.

Jesus people are really sticking their claws into Leach here. He had a positive impact on tons of people and I respect the guy, even if he believes conspiracy theories. The guy wasn’t no nick rolovich
