They had an hour and a half remembering coach Leach segment before thatPresident Keenum was on first. The whole show is dedicated to Coach Leach today.
The SECN has been pretty much continuous coverage since about 1100President Keenum was on first. The whole show is dedicated to Coach Leach today.
Including an interview with the governor of all peopleESPN u radio has been all leach today
I think it is becoming clear to the MSU fan base that we had a nationally respected and loved coach, and many here did not realize it. We (I include myself) are too swayed by one loss, one bad game, not running enough to suit us, without realizing we had a good man that was universally respected in college football. It is hard to find that these days.
Finebaum spent most of CML’s tenure here talking bad about him and how he was too aloof and didn’t connect etc..etc…now he wants to talk about how great a coach he was ….screw that dude
So did a lot of people on this board and the others. Called for his job after most games and even worse during them. I kind of thought we weren’t keeping score with that anymore so it’s probably not a good time to mention that. I wish every one of them found a new school to cheer for and got banned from this board. I know I’m not the only one who sees it. Best that we don’t bring that up.I rarely watch Finebaum because of all the clowns that call in and FB himself has never seemed to care for State. But I watched it all today and his show was very good. Lots of good stories told from people that had crossed paths with Leach. It was a nice tribute all afternoon.

I was that caller that Paul was making that remark about within our conversation. I had tears and goosebumps the whole time. I was also impressed with Larry Templeton today. I know a lot of y’all don’t like him but I do… I just wish Larry could have had the money State has now when he was AD. Anyway, Larry almost lost it while talking about Coach.Some of the stories callers called in with were really good. By the end of the show Paul was blown away. One of his closing lines was (paraphrasing) "I thought I knew Mike Leach pretty well but I had no idea". If it's replayed you need to watch or record it. We lost a hell of a lot more than just a football coach.
Also the young female reporter he started lecturing on the sideline about marriage was on the show and when Paul asked her what she had learned about coach Leach during the several interviews her reply was (again paraphrasing) "I learned I want to be more like him the way he listened to people and cares".
It was clear from Paul's interviews of everyone that he did not know Coach at all despite spending time with him. Because unlike Leach Paul does not listen to people and he does not care about them unless they can do something for him.Some of the stories callers called in with were really good.

Very well said and put bump.I think it is becoming clear to the MSU fan base that we had a nationally respected and loved coach, and many here did not realize it.
