College football suffered the loss of an icon when now former Mississippi State head coach mike Leach passed away in early December of 2022.

There have been several tributes paid to Leach in multiple ways and they have not stopped roughly a month after his death. Auburn basketball was the latest to honor Leach, with “Mike” and “Swing Your Sword” shirts.

Leach was one of the most successful coaches in college football history as an Air Raid guru, propelling multiple quarterbacks to become leading passers in the country and making an impact beyond the field as well as an interesting figure who touched a number of lives with his character and view on life.
