Definitely different but always entertaining. You just never knew what you were gonna get. RIP Coach.

One was extremely intelligent and the other can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

Leslie needed a drool cup and a speech therapist.

Mike Leach was a passionate combatant and law school graduate who had captivating things to say.

Really disrespectful and odd to compare Mike Leach to Les Miles. By all accounts, Leach was a wonderful man who always had time for anyone he crossed paths with. The same can definitely not be said about Miles, who may have been a sexual predator.

The point is both were perceived as " goofy "...but both were smarter than you think.

The schools they coached at, and the type of recruits that each coach had access to at said school were definitely identical. Lay your vast knowledge upon us.

Was thinking about coaches who are eccentric characters and still good football coaches. Glad you started this thread.

Leach and Miles immediately come to mind. But beyond those two, I can’t think of many.

Kiffin maybe, with his snarky sense of humor.
Maybe Wimp Sanderson with his grumpy old man in plaid persona. But who else? Most coaches are button down coach speak all the time. Miles and Leach proved you can have a sense of humor and be good coaches.

When Miles was at LSU, I would see him every weekend at Orange Beach during the summer. Usually on a beautiful 50’ yacht flying a fightin tigers flag heading out of the pass.

The Leach for OC rumors in 2010 or thereabouts were wild

No one "perceived" Mike Leach as goofy. They perceived him as captivating and entertaining and I know Mike Leach was smart. He had the cred to back it up.

And no. Les Miles is not smarter than I think. He's as smart as I think.

Les is a legit creep that won’t be acknowledged by his schools

Weird comparison

Look man, you're getting dick smacked in this thread because you've compared a weirdo to a legitimately intelligent, witty and captivating guy.

Sorry, but you did.

No dude.

Les was a lovable retard until he became stubborn and sexual assaulty

Leach did 60 minutes and captivated folks who didn’t give a frick about CFB
