Inside the Headset – Mike Leach, 1961-2022
December 15, 2022
This week on Inside the Headset, we are honoring the life and legacy of Coach Mike Leach with his general session from the 2009 convention. Coach Leach was a pioneer in the game and the AFCA and the coaching community are better because of his impact. One of the masterminds of the air raid offense and a pioneer for the coaching profession, Coach Leach’s impact helped inspire a change in college football offense and spurred on a new generation of coaches. Coach Leach’s coaching tree spreads across the majority of Power 5 football as well as into the NFL with notable coaches such as Lincoln Riley, Dave Aranda, Dana Holgorsen, Sonny Dykes, Kliff Kingsbury, and Josh Heupel.
