Leach was currently the head coach of the Mississippi State Bulldogs, but had also spent time with the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Washington State Cougars.
His coaching tree spreads far across the nation. One major connection he had with the Mountaineers was his mentorship of former WVU Head Coach Dana Holgorsen.
Leach will be missed by many around the sport, and his impact will be felt for years to come.
