With the proliferation of the Air Raid offense and its principles throughout college football, there’s an argument that Mike Leach made the greatest impact on the sport of the 21st century.
The innovative coach got his biggest career break at Texas Tech, and in the wake of Leach’s untimely passing in December, the school is now set to honor him with a fitting tribute.
Texas Tech will induct Leach into its Hall of Honors in September, according to The Athletic‘s Bruce Feldman. Leach spent 10 seasons as head football coach at the school from 2000 to ’09 and is the program’s all-time leader in wins with 84.
