That's the magic of Mike Leach. A lot of people credit the Air Raid for it and I think there is some truth to that. But I think at his core he was a GREAT coach. As quirky as he was he was able to get everyone on the same page and had the respect of his players. You could tell that they loved playing for him. Really remarkable and there are so many things that people can learn from him. When he passed away he had gotten us back to where we were under Dan. 9 wins and a NYD bowl type of team in year three. It's really sad that we didn't get to see what his offense would have been under Chris Parson and later Kamario Taylor. They would have surpassed Will's records.
