When Wolf Pack offensive coordinator Matt Mumme was a freshman quarterback at Valdosta State many years ago, he had 30 minutes to kill before going to class so he walked into Mike Leach’s office.
Leach was the team’s offensive coordinator, so you’d figure their conversation would be about the Blazers’ offense. Instead, Mumme saw a picture of Geronimo on Leach’s wall and asked about that.
“I ended up bringing Geronimo up and I ended up missing three classes because the conversation took about 2½ hours,” Mumme said (Leach co-wrote a book on Geronimo and owns a copy of his death certificate).
