Hal Mumme was really the creator of the Air Raid offense; Leach was just one of his disciples and built upon Mumme's principles.

Colleges give people honorary doctorates'. Why don't they make him honorary member? If he doesn't meet the requirements then it should be honorary.

He took below average teams and made them slightly above average. A lot of people thought his weird ramblings were funny. Thats it.

How would everyone rank this list of 10 coaches from best to worst?

Paul Johnson
Charlie McClendon
Gary Pinkel
Mike Leach
Dick Sheridan
Barry Alvarez
Chris Ault
Mike Belloti
Larry Blakeney
Frank Solich

Nine of them are in the College Football Hall of Fame.

My team was always on the other side of the field than his, but I respect the impact he has had on the sport.

Heck I always used his playbooks from Tech when I played NCAA on the PS2 in college.

Below is the reason Les Miles is not a shoe in. I don’t think they will ever let Les in because of his documented off the field issues. They don’t want a sexual predator in the hall of fame.
