Mike Leach and Wazzu on "Hard Knocks"??? - Wedge - 08-14-2019 12:34 AM
Might have to sign up for HBO if this happens, even though it's not exactly "Hard Knocks"...
Quote:Washington State and its notoriously polarizing head coach, Mike Leach, could be the subjects of a new HBO program modeled around the network’s popular “Hard Knocks” docuseries.
DevilsDigest .com reported Tuesday morning HBO had chosen four college football programs – WSU, Arizona State, Penn State and Alabama – to be highlighted in a show that’ll air later this football season.

I like Leach! He's one of the last unabashed individualists left in corporately controlled America.

He's an individualist and colorful, but he's a jerk. He makes our politicians look polite to each other by comparison.

Why else would he love pirates?

I saw a list of all time FBS coaches in wins recently. Tried to look it up again the other day when this thread came up but didn't readily find it. As I recall, he was surprisingly high. Don't remember exactly where, but I remember thinking his likely wins in the next couple of years would put him in pretty good company (either top 50 or top 30 all time).
