Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach will be inducted into the school's Hall of Honor.
Texas Tech was Leach’s first head coaching job at the top level of college football after serving as an assistant at Kentucky and Oklahoma. Leach’s Red Raider offense helped revolutionize football at all levels with its pass-first tendencies and Tech finished above .500 in each of his 10 years with the school as he became the winningest coach in Tech history.
Leach sought to coach the team in the Alamo Bowl and even went so far as to file for an injunction. Tech fired Leach two days after it suspended him for what it said was a “defiant act of insubordination” for not apologizing to Adam James. Leach was fired a day before he was set to get a bonus and trigger a contract guarantee for over $1.5 million.
Leach spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons out of college football before he was hired at Washington State in 2012. He coached the Cougars for eight seasons before he was hired by Mississippi State ahead of the 2020 season. MSU went 4-7 in Leach’s first season but won seven games in 2021 and was 8-4 ahead of its bowl game win over Illinois before Leach’s death.
