Hello, Mike Leach, we meet again. It’s been a few years and some things have changed—the last time NC State faced a Leach team, the Pack’s head coach was Chuck Amato, and Leach was at Texas Tech.
Among those things that have not changed: Leach’s love for the air raid. For good reason, too, since it helped him lead revitalization projects at both Texas Tech and Washington State, bringing impressive success to places that would not be considered hot coaching (or playing) destinations within their leagues. Now he’s trying to repeat the process at Mississippi State with the same essential blueprint: throw the ball a whole lot.
