    The man is an icon and I will miss him every Saturday. I’ve never been a fan of anything he coached but I cannot wait to hear him talk when he opened his mouth. Probably the same way other fans felt about Spurrier

    If I'm being honest, this kinda hits me like Petty and Prince. Innovators, Gamechangers. Superstars that didn't take themselves too seriously. They gave back. They paid forward. Even in death, he was an organ donor, which takes you to the top of the list for me.

    This was great!! Thank you East! I loved Leach. Best “hard job” coach in America. And who knew Scott Pelle was a Red Raider.

    Not to derail, but you think of Prince as someone who did not take himself too seriously?

    I suspect there will be many-many more stories like these coming out now.
