At Texas Tech (2000-9), Leach became their winningest coach ever (regular and post-season). In leading Tech's Red Raiders to 84 wins during his tenure, he became the only coach in school history to take his teams to a bowl game every year.
Leach helped guide the Red Raiders to four-straight NCAA passing titles from 2001-2004 and again in 2007 & 2008, as well as three-consecutive total offense titles (2001-2003). Leach's offense produced school records in nearly every passing category in 2000, and he surpassed those numbers with each new season. His teams combined for over 151 team and individual records at Tech.
Prior to Texas Tech, Leach, in just one season at Oklahoma, he directed a Sooner offense that went from nearly the worst in the Big 12 to nearly the best.
Under Leach, the Oklahoma offense set six Big 12 Conference and 17 OU records. Prior to joining Bob Stoops' Oklahoma staff, Leach served as offensive coordinator for Hal Mumme at the University of Kentucky and Valdosta (Ga.) State University.
Following his still-disputed firing, Mike Leach joined CBS College Sports Network in August 2010 as a football analyst, joining play-by-play announcer Roger Twibell.
The oldest of six siblings, Leach and his wife, Sharon, have four children.
Head Football Coach, Washington State University
