Late ‘Air Raid’ coach fell one win short of Hall-of-Fame induction standards
Updated: Jul. 16, 2024, 3:37 p.m.Missouri head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz speaks during Southeastern Conference NCAA college football media days Tuesday, July 16, 2024, in Dallas. Mike Leach is technically not eligible for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, but Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz wants to see that change.
“Next summer, we will be moving media days to Atlanta,” Drinkwitz said. “And so it reminded me to call on CEO Steve Hatchell to do the right thing and to nominate Mike Leach for the College Football Hall of Fame. We need to put his name on the ballot. Leach’s coaching tree is also extensive. Among those who played or coached under him who now are head coaches are Samford’s Chris Hatcher, Louisiana Tech’s Sonny Cumbie, Baylor’s Dave Aranda, West Virginia’s Neal Brown, TCU’s Sonny Dykes, Tennessee’s Josh Heupel, USC’s Lincoln Riley and former Texas Tech and Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who is now with the NFL’s Washington Commanders.Rogelio V.
