Get well soon, Coach Leach!
Yes, Shaw and Leach were from polar-opposite molds; and Leach knew how to be Shaw's kryptonite, even when Stanford had far superior talent. Shaw was the Eagle Scout Troop Leader and Leach was the swashbuckling pirate. When Shaw made all the rational in-game coaching decisions, Leach muddied the scene with brazen calls. He went 4-4 vs. Shaw, but all the victories came at the end of his tenure at Wazzu. Clearly, he had learned to think one step ahead of Shaw.
Get well soon, Coach Leach!

I wasn’t a fan of some of his actions, and I certainly thought he would have been a poor fit for Stanford, but I wouldn’t wish ill even for a division rival who often confounded Stanford during his last years in the Pac 12.
Wishing him a speedy recovery, and thoughts to his family and the Miss State community.
Yeah, after his kicker muffed a makeable field goal that would have spoiled our 2015 season he started a string of victories against us that has now grown to six straight. His Achilles heel was (other than his first year there) he could never figure a way to beat his cross state rival.
I don't think anyone would try to argue that Wazzu had superior talent to us during that period.
Anyway, get well soon, coach.
During those years he did more with less. He was the Mike Montgomery of football. And he had Shaw's number down cold.
