Mike Leach, Mississippi State’s goodbye and one restaurant’s story - Sports Illustrated

As the town said goodbye to the football coach, one local owner shared a personal story.

Hopefully I posted the link above correctly. Great article from Ross, as usual. Not your typical Leach story. Great to hear how he connected with the community so much. Football aside, Leach was a loss to the Starkville community.

The one thing I wish Leach was more public about was his love for Starkville. I didn't realize he loved it here so much until after he died.

Agreed. Leach strikes me as the type of person who will be happy anywhere, type of guy to make the best of any situation but he did genuinely seem to enjoy Starkville
