    Review quote
    I think he's brilliant. Mike Leach is a renaissance man through and through. The commercials about the World's Most Interesting Man--that's Mike Leach. I love him so much. I aspire to live a full and rich life and he's doing it. He's as interested in literature as he is in football. He's just a very complicated, well-rounded individual. He's a real maverick and an inspiration. -Peter Berg, filmmaker, director - Friday Night Lights I could tell that our players liked him right away.

Whenever he switches gears to another subject, that his comma, it's 'Well, the thing is. . . ' -Matthew McConaughey Mike Leach has proved he can write a book that's as good as his passing schemes. I might add that it also ranks up there with his leadership and communication skills. Don't miss this eye-opening entertainment. -Dan Jenkins "Mike Leach is a great leader and an amazing motivator of men. And he got screwed. He's got fantastic ingenuity, not only on the football fie
