Among the things I admired about Mike Leach is that he never took himself too seriously. I also respected that he did not let me win sword fights just because cameras were rolling. https://t.co/5JFau5igp1

I keep trying to find the words to describe Mike Leach. It's rather impossible. He had a charm, wit, humor, was conversational, old school discipline, & obviously innovative side to him that was often noticed. (1/4)

Tough to put into words how much Coach Leach meant to our family. He was the most unique, singular person I’ve ever had the opportunity to know. Generous and gracious with his time, constantly hilarious. To know him was to love him. RIP Coach Leach 💔. pic.twitter.com/QTKarzPE6V
