The guy had a pet raccoon named Bilbo Baggins.
And I love his viking axe comment.
"Because if you think about it carefully, statistically, you’re more likely to shoot yourself, a loved one or a relative," he said. "There’s this (absurd) notion of ‘If you come in my house I’ll shoot ya.’ I do have a Viking axe by the bed if I need to whack someone. … My wife bought me a Viking axe – the axe side curls down so you can grab the adversary around the neck and you can use it to climb walls, as a grappling hook."

A very sad day for college football. You will be missed coach.
For what little part I can do, I will be cheering for them all on Jan 2 in their Bowl Game vs Illinois.
They have a chance to win 9 games including winning the Egg Bowl and a Bowl game and finishing ranked all for only the 3rd time in over 20 years.
I hope they can attain all of that in tribute to Coach Leach.
I am so sorry to read about the passing of Coach Leach. My prayers are with his family, the Mississippi St. family and his friends. May they all find comfort during these difficult days.
My guess is even the Illinois fans will be cheering for them, maybe not publicly (but some prob will) but in their hearts. This guy was truly beloved on a national level and even the hardest of football hearts cannot help but pull for the Miss St fanbase and team in the bowl game.
That is awful he will be missed greatly. Prayers for him and his family.
