What’s your favorite thing about Mike Leach?

I love the idea of interviewers asking life questions totally out of context of the event. that should be a thing

He’s so right! My husband and I went to the courthouse. Didn’t tell anyone till afterwards. Everyone got over it. We saved thousands on the wedding and paid off some bills, entered the marriage debt free. Best wedding gift ever.

Man he dadded her so hard here, she couldn’t help but smile… lol…🤭

RIP Mike. Hell of a career and an awesome coach. You will be missed.

He’s right. We went out to Vegas alone and got married. No drama. No stress. No huge bill. Best decision of my life.

My wife and I were married at the courthouse. We only had a few people there. But the biggest difference was that my wife and I cooked the reception dinner AND served everyone. We only sat down after everyone had seconds. We made it clear that we wanted our marriage to be of service to other people, not to be served. We did the exact same thing at our 5 year anniversary, 10 year anniversary, and we’re coming up on our 15 year. And the attendance grows every year! It’s great!

My wife and I eloped after our second tour to Iraq. Told our family about a week later. Nobody thought we’d make it. Been going strong for 16 years now.

Mike Leach is a national treasure. We miss him up in Washington.

RIP to the quirkiest coach of the past 25 years. He will be missed.

Mike is 100% correct. Weddings have become absolutely ridiculous. Elope and have a little get together with friends and family later that doesn’t involve everyone having to take an entire day or more to attend a stupid wedding. Facts !!!

The best choice my wife and I made was to spend $35 total for our wedding. That covered the marriage certificate at the courthouse, the preacher and some photographer that 20 photos. My brother had just spent over $25,000 on his wedding, and he was pissed off when he found out that was an option.

One foot in this life the other in the next. Doesn't look good for Coach Leach. What ever the outcome, he graced us with his humor and UNIQUE personality. Thank you sir

I like how he kept going on and helping Trevor! 😂 legend

Classic. Genius. Nobody wants to talk about their work after they just got with with work. You need him to be a dad after work, he's there.

I eloped because of this advice 😂. Best decision ever. Rest in Peace to a true legend and innovator. People may forget him as the years go on, but the game never will 🙏🏼

Mike leach is the wiseman of football. Everything out of the guys mouth is 💯 man brilliance

Best peace of advice. Myself and my wife did and it saved us so much hassle and it was so stress free. We are still happily Married 18yrs now.

RIP Mike Leach, an American Treasure. Men like him - men who mold boys into men - are a rare breed in society today. When people says that someone is a "character", they usually mean that as a backhanded insult, but in Mike Leach's case, it was apt.

You must show this at your wedding! Prayers for Coach Leach!

Gonna miss these interviews. Rest in peace to one of the best.

This is solid advice. The money saved on a big wedding can go towards a down payment for a nice house. Don’t waste your money feeding people who will end up talking shit if your marriage doesn’t work

Much respect, as that young Lady KNEW HER AUDIENCE, as Coach’s advice was pure & straight from the heart. 🐮🔔🐮🔔🐮🔔

Mike is a treasure. I never know what I’m gonna hear, but I’m always listening.

Like a true Pirate, he always had words of wisdom to TREASURE. You're going to be sorely missed Coach Leach. Safe passage on your journey.

Great coach, funny and always had something off the wall over all his years to say, completely entertaining , that great man will be missed, RIP

Damn. Sage advice. Everyone’s wedding planning was a nightmare, including mine. And he’s right. I would have been very happy to have eloped

I'm from Liverpool and we are mad on soccer in my city. It's called football over here but I don't want to confuse things. Never watched your game over the pond, but this man was so bloody awesome. He doesn't just say a few words and moves on; he just totally engages with her and was truly genuine. My goodness, you were lucky to have him!

I was a wedding videographer for years. My wife and I eloped. Everything he said is 100% true. 100%

Ole Miss alum here. Mike Leech is a national treasure. Him and Lane Kiffin in the same state is amazing for content 😂

This is what we did. Told our families it wasn’t about them, and went to the court house. We had a little party that night with our parents and her grandma and my sister and didn’t let anyone else come. It was perfect

Rest in Peace,you were definitely one of a kind coach. The media will miss you and your comments

This guy is hilarious and will be missed tremendously!

How can we have a season without this guy?!?!

He calls it like he sees it! It's off the cuff, he says what he feels. I will always respect a man like that!😉

There will never be another Mike Leach. The last of the pirates. RIP Coach.

RIP Mike. Such a great personality and coach.

You could tell that she knew that it was the correct question to ask him. She laughs and smiles the entire time knowing that this was gold.

LOL. Wanna talk X’s and O’s post game, you’ll get but few words from the pirate. Marriage advice after four grueling physical quarters of competitive D-1 SEC ball, you’ll get such deep thoughts and pearls of wisdom on lifelong love and companionship. Who knew? 😂🏴‍☠️🏈❤️💍

I’ll go give them an extra $10k to elope! Lmao 😂😂😂😂

I love Mike Leach Here’s a man many would underestimate! *And that’s when it gets fun!

My wife and I announced our 2 week engagement. The wedding was at the courthouse and the only people we gave the address to were people that invited themselves. It was her parents, my mom, and a pair of friends. It was perfect. I have had a few couples that did the big marriage thing comment a few years later that they wished they had done it like we did.

Man, Mike will truly be missed. A father figure to so many, I pray God welcomed him into the Kingdom of Heaven.

The stresses of a wedding prepare you for the actual marriage... and puts you in debt like everyone else.

RIP coach things like this made you the great man you were !

Started to feel like Leach was the dad here. Trevor’s in trouble

Truly an American 🇺🇸 icon …i miss him already

Mike Leach is always the best head coach interview EVER !

As others have said, Mike Leach is a treasure and one of a kind. That mold was busted after him and that is too bad!

Gotta love Mike Leach. There needs to be a video biography of every single press interaction of his. Mike Leach's netflix comedy special.

He's describing exactly the experience I had for my wedding. Everyone's over here thinking "haha he's so funny". No no, coach is dead on the bullseye. Every role you assign someone at a wedding, 3 people will be upset they didn't get it. You aren't having the wedding for you. It's for everyone else, and it's a nightmare.

He tried to look out for Trevor but once he said have him call me you know she was thinking you aren't ruining my wedding.

Such a wise man saving her a lot of grief.

This is classic. Vintage Leach. Never gets old.

Wife and I went to the courthouse and it was the best most relaxing day ever. She always said "I want a marriage not a wedding"

Sage advice. When my wife and I leaked our plan to get married, the first few family members we told all started putting in their two cents. We looked at each other, booked a trip, found a local judge and the rest is history. They all got over it. And if they didn’t, oh well. Best choice we could have made.

RIP Coach!! Great Advice!!! May God Bless You Always!!

This game might have been when Mississippi State played A&M. Most Aggies hated Leach because he regularly beat us when he was at Tech and Mississippi State. He was a great coach!! He will be missed!

We did both. We eloped and then had a formal ceremony six months later. It worked great!

The world is a lesser place without Coach Leach. What a personality!

R.I.P to great and innovative coach. Mike Leach

Rest easy coach 💐

His willingness to engage and give thoughtful feedback on these topics is hilarious.

RIP Coach. Gone way too soon. USC/Mike Leach fan

100%. Wife and I saved for 2 years just to split the cost with her parents. We could have had a healthy down payment on a house a few years prior, had we eloped. We have some nice memories and pictures from the wedding, but holy shit was the planning and saving for it stressful. Elope and save for a honeymoon.

One of the nicest guys in FB. I want so much for him to succeed (Conf. title, Maior Bowl win). So many have prospered from the offenses he's designed.

My husband and I have a friend that's a pastor. We got married at their house. It was just me, my husband, our pastor friends who were husband and wife, another couple that were mutual friends and their 3 kids. No one else knew until a few weeks later. Nobody knew we dated for about 2 years. 😂

RIP Coach and good advice. I wish I had known this 15 years ago.

Plus, if you elope, you basically have a large down payment for a house or a car.

😂😂😂. Sounds like a great plan. No fuss, no drama strategy.

Came here after the news today. Smart and kind soul gone too early. God speed wherever you are.

This coach is a highly intelligent man. He toys with reporters and trolls them without them having a clue that they are being trolled.

I thought like this as we were planning our wedding, but on wedding day it was so special and magical. It was our favorite day so far, everyone around us we know and love around us showing us their love and support, everyone was happy, it was a great time and I don’t regret spending the time, money, and stress. 😊 But you can’t go wrong if you want to elope too.

Best advice ever. Great lifestyle coach!

Best coach interviewee ever always

So many people put more effort into the wedding rather than the marriage.

This only made you laugh a little? 😂😂 this is awesome

Football and Life Coach all in one. Nice!

I love Coach Leach miss him in the big 12

Exactly what we did. Elopped and got married on Nantucket Island. One month later we had a outdoor reception at our home for everyone. Quelled and bad vibes that might have been lurking.🤭🤪

My grandma whose been married to my grandpa for 50 years said "You've gotta find somebody that can deal with your brand of crazy"

In this day of coach speak... I found him refreshing.

My misses called me up and said the wedding registry office has 2 rooms, 1 room for 60 people and 1 room for 6 people, I replied the room with 6 people is too big 😂 the wedding cost us £50

Wasn’t sure where he was going. So glad I watched until the end

She is GORGEOUS!

Weddings! What a scam. Biggest wait of money ever. 50% end in divorce, 40% are miserable, 10% happy. I would never throw an expensive party with those odds.

RIP, Coach. All time legend

“Well, we’ll keep a close eye on it …..” 😂

Solid advice coach.

Love this dude

Glad he’s getting over that bad cold/cough.

We’ll miss Mike Leach so damn much. May God rest his beautiful soul.

Praying for Mike Leach 🙏🏾

After thinking back on my wedding day and days that led up to it and after, this is perfect advice. No need for a big wedding because in 20 years you will not be talking to the majority of the people you invited.

Mike Leach is my spirit animal. RIP coach.

Mike leach is a treasure...

You can tell how much they both enjoyed that! RIP COACH

This is great advice 😂 People run up these massive bills for their wedding, for what? My sister got married, there were maybe a dozen people there, most of whom invited themselves when they found out her groom invited his best friend and then there was just me and her best friend lol

First wedding cost $30,000. Second cost a $25 dollar license and a free visit to the courthouse. The judge thanked us for making his day.

RIP Coach. You are greatly missed. I will cheer up for State this season in your honor
