What do you say about a man you’ve never met?
Nothing, is the sensible answer. But I’ve seen enough about Coach Leach to think that saying nothing was a choice he made rarely, so it feels wrong to make such a choice in the wake of his death.
The more Leach like thing to do, would be to say that I did meet him.
Which I technically did I suppose, at a clinic back in 2012. Being former Coug offensive lineman, my buddy and I felt compelled to shake the man’s hand. He flattered us by saying he could use a couple fine young lineman like ourselves, shook our hand, and we all went on our way.
