Probably too soon to talk about his legacy but people are going to remember him for all his zany pirate shit but there’s an argument to be made that he’s the most influential offensive coach of the last twenty years. 

Yup

A guy that intentionally drops a fake play sheet that he knows the opposition graduate assistants will pick up can't helped and be liked by his opponents. Hope the pirate pulls through but it sounds dire.

Just thinking about how much hell he used to catch for going for it on 4th down so often and just making unconventional calls frequently. These days, many coaches are doing the same using analytics.
 

Mike Leach, being the contrarian he is, was actually right based on the numbers a lot of the time. He is just willing to take risks so many other coaches aren’t.

When they made Leach, they broke the mold. Rumor is they beat the hell out of the mold-maker, too.

Very damned awful news

I’m not saying he can/will prevail here, but it’s 2022; ECMO is not a death sentence.

Hes over 60, multiple comorbidities, and on ecmo? The survival rate for someone like that is extremely low. When I used to work in the icu, if u were put on ecmo, there was maybe a 5% chance you were living more than a month or two. Even if you got outta the hospital, u were still as good as dead

No matter how this turns out, Mike Leach will always be in my pantheon of coolest people. This is my favorite Leach quote. He was asked at a postgame WSU presser "What was the best party you ever attended?" All I have is the link but if it works, it's well worth the watch. Sail on Space Pirate, sail on, come what may.

Just heard about this. I guess if everyone thought he was on death’s door last night then not getting bad news by now is good news, right? I hope he pulls through. I don’t know about the rumors of his planned retirement but I’m sure he was looking forward to eventually spending some of his golden years relaxing in the Keys.

Please God, if You're listening, take a little time off of the fucking Ukraine and the Russians and all that shit, and bring back Mike from Your doorstep. We need his attitude, and there isn't much I wouldn't give to hear another half hour or so of dating tips.

It totally depends on WHY he’s on ECMO and what the comorbidities are.
