RIP Mike - heck of a coach with a great sense of humor!

Leach: "At a great univeristy like this" *cuts to a player laughing* Great job editing team!! (:50)

The press conferences alone will be worth it for you guys.

Y’all just hired an amazing man, and a freak of a coach. I followed him closely at Texas Tech when I lived near there. You will see positive results in every level of the program. Congratulations Mississippi State!

RIP Mike...you had such an impact on your atheletes.

I love Mike Leach. This is a GREAT coach and I am positive I will be watching all Mississippi State football games from here on out deep in the middle of North Dakota. So awesome

I love this coach. I’m not even a MS State fan. I love how he shoots it straight.

The mad scientist, the pirate! Air Raid sirens have begun to sound in MS!

I'm so hyped right now

THE absolute ONLY reason he didn't achieve more at Wash St was talent availability...MSU will give him that and I can't wait to see what Coach Leach does with it!!!!

Boy, Mississippi football went from the pits to the most exciting with just two hires.

Great hire! As on OU fan, I can say you won't be disappointed!

I have followed you since you were a coach at my hometown Lubbock at texas tech. Lets go bulldog s

Fat little girlfriends is my favorite mike leach speech ever

Glad Leach is finally out of the Pac 12. His teams ALWAYS played the Ducks really hard with far less talent recruiting wise. Won 4 in a row, almost 5 but Oregon scraped by with a win this year. Great hire by MSU.

This is gonna be epic.

Alabama fan here but very excited for Mississippi state ,Mike leach is a legendary football coach and you all should be very proud to have such a intelligent football mind leading you're team . Congratulations!

Those players already cannot contain their excitement. He’s a great speakers. Good luck .

I'm not from Mississippi. I'm from the East Coast. I did my undergrad in Texas. I now live in the San Francisco Bay Area (in Northern California). I watched the Mississippi State-LSU game because of K.J. Costello (I was able to see him play here at Stanford University). That game against LSU was exciting on all sides of the ball (offense, defense and special teams). Now, I am excited to continue watching your games for the rest of the season. Keep up the good work -- and I wish you great success under Coach Leach!

Oh shit ...I can't wait for next season starts!

So beit Coach Leach sir May yourself and our players leach off each one another And May it yield a bountiful success for us all 💪🔥 👍 HAIL STATE!!!!!!

I love Mike Leach in the SEC, although the SEC West is hard enough, I still welcome him.

IM FROM BATON ROUGE AND IM STOKED TO HAVE MIKE LEACH AS AN OPPONENT.

Play Smart Amazing he chose Mississippi State. Motivation to turn the program.

RIP to Mike Leach

Here you have man who shows you the path to success.

I can hear the sirens going off for the air raid system.

Auburn Grad here War Eagle! I’ll be pulling for MsSt now though when not playing us. Leach is awesome and a great hire.

Great hire . Mike Leach won everywhere he has coached.

Idk why I keep getting recommended Mike Leach videos, but I appreciate it

As a Husky fan I respected Coach Leach. Y'all got a entertaining and good coach.

That was a great speech coach. You'll have them up top.

Seems like yesterday was so happy when we got him.. RiP

On behalf of Gator Nation🐊🏈... I just want to say ....welcome to the SEC Mike. We've been waiting for you frankly.... Thanks for joining us... and nobody's going to take you for granted.... we're all scheming around it already.

Great hire for you guys. Good Luck!

Miss State y'all got a damn good coach.

HAIL STATE

This is great move for the Bulldogs. Look out SEC...

Miss state is now my second fav team. I wanted Leach bad at Arkansas, but I think we found the best guy for the job.

Going to miss you mike good luck

Welcome! Looking forward for the season! Go Dawgs!!

Good luck. Ya’ll are in for a fun ride!

I'm an Alabama Alumni and fan...and I'm probably going to watch ever Miss State and Ole Miss game next season. It's going to be a lot of fun in the SEC West

I literally cannot wait.

As a Tennessee fan, this is the hire we should have made when we had the chance. This is gonna be great for you guys.

hell of a coach. Mississippi getting a gem. -Oregon fan

Gonna miss him here at WSU, definitely did great things for us and turned us around. Thank you Leach, you were one of a kind. Give em hell in the SEC pirate! 🏴‍☠️

This man is awesome at breathing life into dying programs I'm excited to see what he can do in the SEC

I can't wait to see what kind of staff Coach puts together (offensively & defensively)!!!! I hope that all of that gets brought up & addressed in today introductory press conference. #HAILSTATE #PIRATEHASARRIVED!!!

I was ecstatic when I heard he was going to be the head coach and now that he's gone I still don't think I appreciated enough how huge him leading the program was in the grand scheme of things. I'll be ringing my cowbell in Tampa until my arm falls off. Hope there's a stadium full of pirates on Jan 2nd.

Great hire for Mississippi State. Congratulations.... The SEC West is going to be tough.

Im an ole miss fan but this was a good move for msu.

I'm at Gator football guy. However, Mike Leach is terrific. No bullshit answers. Straight shooter. There is plenty of talent in the SEC for him to be successful at MSU. I hope these players realize the great coach they have and a great person.

Get yo cowbells ready & congratulations on the hire state. leach did a fantastic job at wazu and I am sad to see him leave the pac 12

I'm a Clemson Tiger fan from birth born and raised right here I Tiger town but I love Mike Leech,yall got a good one,love the hire.

Good Lord at the personalities in the sec west😎

Coach Leach: hey gardener what do you think about Mississippi state? Gardner: well I think the SEC Coach Leach: alright say no more!

If leach gets top end D coaches look out. Last week I wouldn't have given 2 shits about MSU or Mississippi in general but with this man and hell even Kiffin up the road I'll be watching and listening for sure coz both teams are in for a hell of a ride!

As an LSU fan, I CANT WAIT for this matchup! #HAILSTATE #GEAUXTIGERS

As a Famous Maroon Band Basshorn, I can tell all of y'all that the band is just as excited as you are for this! I am very excited for next season to how Leach does, and I think he'll do well here at State. And just so you know, I'm trying to convince our directors to do a pirate show next year (as Leach is the pirate after all) and to have the ROTC Air Force people change the MSU Canon into a Pirate Canon. Either way, I think next year will be a fantastic and fun year!

I can't wait...HAIL STATE!

While I'm a Gator Fan, this guy is gonna do some good things at Mississippi State.

Its going to be an interesting season in the SEC. For everyone all teams

7-6 Looking forward to the Winn-Dixie Bowl in 2020.

if he gets a defense, look out! scoring points will not be a problem!

It looks like they mastered the offense after just 6 weeks of practice. Incredible.

Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M, Ed Orgeron at LSU, Mike Leach at Mississippi State, Lane Kiffin at Ole miss, Gus Malzahn at Auburn, Sam Pittman at Arkansas, and Nick Saban at Alabama. Idk anything about Pittman but these other guys.............that's a line-up right there.........and that's just the SEC West! Going to be a fun season come the fall!

Leach is a great coach a fun one.

💩is about to get real interesting in Mississippi. The south is known for players with hulking size and Cheetah like speed. I don’t know if they will be champions but he’s going to make it very interesting.

I like this guy

Could’ve done without the music.

Bro I could sleep through this speech 😂

Man 6-6 has never looked better

I'm a James Franklin guy but this guy would be as big as Joe Paterno at Penn State

Ten games from now..."These guys are soft." --Leach

I absolutely love this guy, but doesn't Mike Leach look like Williy Wonka in this vid??? I want an oompa loompa now!!!

Alabama: Nick Saban Texas A&M: Jimbo Fisher LSU: Ed Orgeron Auburn: Gus Malzahn Ole Miss: Lane Kiffin Mississippi State: Mike Leach Arkansas: Sam Pittman - Just look at the coaching star power of the West... It's a gauntlet

The east just got scary. Great hire for the bulldogs and he is one hell of a coach.

He is that nerdy ass smart offensive genius.. I would love to play under him

The Pirate very consistently wins three plus more games than you predict. Hurt my Ducks more than once. Been a fan since he turned cow pattyville texas into a powerhouse. Can't contend this year, but look for State to finish second or third in the SEC West in 2021.

Mr. Mike “uhhh” Leach

Good luck MSU and good luck coach.

Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach both in the state of MS and coaching at rival schools? Yeah that’s gonna be good.

I love how Coach Leach did not talk at all about winning a national championship. I deeply appreciate when people don’t blow smoke.

I've always been a fan of him! GEAUX BULLDOGS

I'll be pulling for you.

Times change, OFFENSE wins games and leach is quite possibly the most underrated offensive coach in the entire NCAA.

Roll tide and rip Mike leach college football won't be the same with out ya

Ha ha ,love the pirate!

Mike Leach is the primary reason Oklahoma won its last championship in 2000. He was the offensive coordinator. Florida State head coach Bobbi Bowden told the media they never could stop his offense.

Leach is going to make MSU a freaking power house. He fielded great teams at WSU, but he was only able to utilize 3 star talent. Just as I said back when LSU stuck with Ogeron that it was a PHENOMENAL hire, I stand by saying that MSU has made the best hire so far this offseason. Look for MSU to be a dominating force in the SEC Western conference.

As a coug (will be a former one), I guess I will say good luck to you guys.

The air raid offense is gonna put a lot of SEC defenses to shame

Well they wiped the floor with LSU today!

Get ready for Midnight Maneuvers...a great test in physical and psychological toughness.

What number of jobs exactly?

The different things his teams do is install that B12 Offense and put it in drive.

"Don't worry, I won't be staying very long. The pirate ship likes to sail to new destinations often. If you catch my drift." - Mike Leach

Go Dawgs

Let's see some of that off season work 👀
