The Unexpected Rule That Suddenly Made Mike Leach College Football Hall of Fame Eligible — What You Didn’t Know
On Thursday, Leach officially became eligible for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame thanks to a technicality, per Brett McMurphy of Action Network.
The threshold for coaches was to have a 60% winning percentage. By 2027, that percentage is lowered to 59.5%.
Leach has a winning percentage of 59.6%, exactly one percentage point over.
Leach coached for 21 seasons. He was the helm at Texas Tech, Washington State, and Mississippi State.
At Texas Tech, Leach ushered in the “Air Raid offense” and became the winningest coach in program history with 84 wins. In 2023, Leach was posthumously inducted into the Texas Tech Football Hall of Fame.
