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.
