Remembering the Pirate: Mike Leach’s Top 5 Games at Mississippi State

Let’s go down memory lane and highlight Mississippi State football’s best moments under Mike Leach, shall we?

The college football universe was rocked when we lost Mike Leach last December. “The Pirate” was amongst the most beloved and influential figures in the sport. His goofy mannerisms, quips in sideline interviews, and seemingly never-ending rants in press conferences about anything but the game of football made him one of the most celebrated coaches in the game.

Furthermore, his offensive philosophy forever changed the way the sport is played. Leach’s Air Raid attack revolutionized offensive football and spread from the high school ranks all the way to the NFL.
