WATCH: Mike Leach discusses the important aspects of Halloween

Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach doesn’t take Halloween lightly. On Saturday’s SEC Network broadcast of their game against Vanderbilt, Leach went into incredible detail on topics ranging from the best candy to costumes.

He revealed a seething hate for candy corn, as well as a clear leaning toward anything of the gummy variety.

“Candy corn is just awful,” Leach said. “It’s the worst candy ever invented. It tastes terrible. It’s bad for you. It makes you sick at the end. What’s to like?

“I completely hate candy corn. When I was a kid, gummy bears. Gotta be the Haribo ones. Another thing I like is when they used to have the Sprees in a box. Outstanding. You have to go to the dollar store to find it, but I do. There’s still candy innovation. I found out the Europe has better candy than us because they have gummy everything. They have those Nerds clusters, which is new. Then if you go chocolate, Almond Joy.”

Earlier on the broadcast, Leach discussed his best Halloween costume as a kid and why trick or treating is a competition.

“The best one was this vampire costume where I had a cape,” he said. “My mom took a sheet and dyed it black. So I could be a vampire in it. I could be Batman in it. The thing is, mobility is so critical to effective trick or treating because you’ve got to be able to move quickly. If you can’t, you’re not going to get as much candy as you hoped for. I see trick or treating as kind of a competitive event, so it’s not something I took lightly at all.”

Mike Leach will lead the Bulldogs into a matchup against Kentucky on the day before Halloween at home. If fans are bringing candy to that game, they better make sure that candy corn is not on the list.
