The game lost an incredible coach this week. Coach Mike Leach's passing has affected so many in the coaching profession.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Leach family, the Mississippi State football family, and to all those who feel the loss of a great man, Coach Mike Leach.

Coach Leach’s passing has affected so many of us even those who actually never met him because he used the stage the game of football gave him to impact others.

It goes without saying that he was a one-of-a-kind individual. There’s so much to learn from his approach to life and coaching the game.

It’s easy to see the impact that a coach has. Coach Leach’s impact is on the grandest scale. He touched so many lives. He helped so many people. The game and the world are better for him having played his part.

Thank you, Coach Leach. You will be missed.
