Coach Leach held a press conference on Monday, but nearly half of it was an impassioned rant about student loans and his own experience with them.

Got that right.
I guess some knows I though I payed one school off, 75% of another school. Only to find out I was young and dumb paying a scammer. I’ve been trying for a long time to get ahold of the proper people. It should be that hard in America. I could have done the world allot of good by now, but it looks like it’s going to be a normal job for a while. I’ve gotta get back to researching. Unless someone sees this and can kindly explain.
Sure didn't.
Nope it was on KZhead’s home page.
Doesn't matter. It's Mike Leach. I watch lots of college sports here, so I'm not surprised it was recommended.
Someone get the man some water
Brad Reynolds And cough medicine, mucinex and an antibiotic!!
Poor guy's got worse sinuses than mine!
Mike is a truly down to earth guy. I was walking downtown one night after a Texas Tech game at Oklahoma and happened to see Mike on the streets. He was heading to a bar just as I was, so he invited me to come have a drink with him. We ended up talking for over an hour. I’ll never forget that day. Super funny and very personal. Awesome coach and looking forward to him being at Miss St
I met Mike when he was coaching at Oklahoma and just wanted to shake his hand (I was on Campus with my son the Thursday prior to a home game and just happened to catch him walking outside the old Switzer center). He ended up talking to me for a solid half hour and would have talked longer except I felt bad because the longer we stood there talking, the more people were gathering. He is truly a genuine guy.
Dude's a national treasure. Seriously. Turns every team into a winner, regardless of history. Honest and intelligent.
Did this really happen
I thought he was a Mormon and doesn’t drink…
@@jackstraw6880 😂 🤔
I think the question was, “how are you today”?
Winner!
“They can only kill me once”. New life moto.
T.H.I.S.
I’ve always lived by this. If people realized it , then we’d have a lot less cowardly people.
Lol I maxed out my financial aid. 100k. I'll pay 0 of it back.
My father was facing Bankruptcy after taking a fulltime job from being a contrator. He told me same thing. They cant kill me! It resonated
Is anyone else watching every Mike Leach video they can find now that he has passed away? RIP COACH! 😥😭
I was watching him and then found out he passed. He was an amazing person. I have more respect for him than and mike who has been in sports.
Yep, you called it exactly
I watched a bunch before he died. I wished I could have met him in life, I can’t think of another opposing coach I respect more.
I wish someone had video of him in action as a substitute teacher. That would be priceless.
That would be a great day screw class work tell us a story his opinions are awsome
Welcome back Cotter
Bet he was one of the subs who wheeled in one of those fat TVs and let the kids watch football all class 😂
Kids in the 80s weren’t allowed to use their iPhones in class unfortunately
My favorite teacher, Al Simpson, was a geology teacher at Cypress College. One day in class, he told all the students, OK guys, you can turn your little testes in now. At the time, he was in his early 60s, and was very innocent and what he said, and as soon as he thought it over, he turned as red as Santa Claus’s outfit. Mr. Simpson used to work for Shell oil and then he became a teacher in the early to mid 70s when he was already in his 60s.
It’s like he’s talking to his relatives at Christmas dinner, but I could listen to him all day. So refreshing.
He was like this in every press conference. It was amazing.
Mike is amazing. Finding someone with his honesty and ability to tell stores is rare. War Eagle but will be pulling for Miss State on the side.
RICKY BOYD same here. War Eagle but I love this guy.
Love Mike Leach, I could listen to him all day long, I would've loved to have had him as a teacher, I know his classes would be so awesome.
Mike Leach needs to be a regular on Pat McAfee where he can really shine with his unique long form answers
I graduated owing only $4k. My daughter's semester meal plan costs more than that now.
@@cameronledoux95 You must know so much about his college career and his daughter. Thank you for your insight.
@@cameronledoux95 You would be completely wrong.
My son's is $2,000 a semester/$4,000 school year, and he hates the food and rarely eats with the plan...the meal plan that's required for freshman no matter what. It's extremely frustrating and discouraging!
J Cameron usually meal plans are required freshman/ sometimes sophomore year. good chance his meal plan is included in his room and board, so about $5k-$10k
just looked at my school finances... my meal plan is $4185 ☹️
What a fascinating, genuine guy. Truly an icon of the game in many ways.
"Relatively disgusting people" lmao
This is how old dudes answer a question
It’s called explanations from experience. Listen, listen and learn!
Do you mean, intelligently?
Not really. Coach Leach is about as unique of a personality & speaker as anyone that's ever lived. Old only dudes wish they could answer a question like Coach Leach.
Dude said um 100 times and coughed 10 times in 3 minutes
This is how smart people answer questions
Everyone who had a hand in his firing at Texas Tech should be removed from their position if not gone already.
Yep…had to be the dumbest thing in my lifetime in regards to college ball
Not sure about the school officials but Craig James and brat spawn are both losers now.
Yeah, Craig James, who had already caused SMU to forfeit games 20 years earlier
Basic summary: they are bad.
Absolutely a legend. I love this man. “ I’d have gone to the best shank builder in prison “. You have to listen till the end but it’s gold!!!
Tell em again Mike, don t sugar coat it, tell em exactly how you feel.
Although I never met Mike Leach, I have the feeling that I have known him all my life. May he R.I.P.
Although I too Mike Leach, I feeling to know life the to…
This man was a national treasure
RIP to you coach. You deserve as much respect as you have adoration.
This man is a national treasure.
Absolutely!
I've always said I'd love to be his next door neighbor.
Time to bury the treasure
Whatever. Far from it.
@@unclephil3902 You’re the prick Mike was referring to.
My god, this is the best press conference of his that I’ve watched. This was legendary!!
It’s impossible not to like Mike Leach. He was an offensive coaching genius who was loved by his players and coaches who worked for him
I’ve lived what Mike was talking about. And he’s right about every damn detail, especially the ‘they’re pricks’ part. Dear God, this world needed this man’s wisdom and unvarnished voice, especially now.
The one and only Mike Leach, I love the guy, I could listen to him all day long.
Sounds like my student loan experience. It was a dead weight around my neck for many years and it seriously delayed my retirement saving.
When you pay the rest of us back then you. Can walk.
Mott Dude Biggest boat anchor I have paying off these stupid loans..
And probably delayed your common sense. No offense college dumbs a lot of people down. I have friends who hated school, are in loads of debt, hate their job that has no use to their degree and tell me they wish they didn’t go to college like I did..then they flex what school they went to at little hangouts and parties. That’s the problem it’s a social expectation more than a personal decision.
Unpopular O’pinion You don’t know anything about this guy lol, quit projecting
Tomohasen duly noted..you must have attended indoctrination camp as well?
Most of my student loans were from housing costs, not tuition.
Where the fuck did you live?!
Mike Leach has always been a straight shooter. He's slow, deliberate and it takes some time to get to the point, but he's a great soundbite. Listening to this entirely, I take away that he struggled for years with his student loan debt, but he hung in there, paid it back and now he's a multi-millionaire!
Everyone needs a good shank builder!
The question was "why did you go for it on 4th down?"
Rest east coach. You will be missed 😢
"so they were good classes"...... this guy is hilarious. laughing my butt off
Coach would you spend a week in jail to get rid of your student loans? Bill Belicheck- yes. Mike Leach- ill tell you something about student loans.. 10 minutes and 31 seconds later.. yes.
I've coached a long time.. and would love to be on his staff
Every legend has a beginning...
He went to law school. Just think of all the people out there who make the wrong decision when theyre 18 instead of waiting and end up having to pay all those loans off. Dont go to college unless you know for sure what you want to do.
Going to law school wasn't a bad decision in the 70s.
@@kevinomalley1145 But he ended up in coaching...
@@gagewendland4315 if coaching didn't work out he could fall back on a JD. Not a bad thing at all.
Gage Wendland Not going to college is the best choice for most people. A complete waste of time. If you need the degree like for being a lawyer or doctor then good. Otherwise bad.
@@mikewhite9818 Yeah.....and it's only 25% go to college....less actually finish? And then.....your street corporate education starts......there's no books, just luck, intuition, and social skills. I knew quite a few very smart creative people who under achieved because they just did not fit in. They didn't succeed in this world, but they were smart who could have been an asset to any group.
God bless Mike Leach. Rest in peace. Humanity didn’t deserve him.
Loved this guy. He was so real. Sure nailed what bill collectors are.😊😊
This guy is awesome. I could care less about football but I’d watch him talk all day.
*I could not care less 😅
Rest in peace brother. Such a great mind.
1984: The Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-353, 7/10/1984) changed the language excepting loans from a "nonprofit institution of higher education" by striking the words "of higher education". This opened the door for private student loans to be excepted from discharge. 1979: An amendment (P.L. 96-56, 8/14/1979) excluded periods during which the repayment obligation was suspended, such as deferments and forbearances, from the 5 year period before an education loan could be discharged. The amendment also clarified the "to a governmental unit, or a nonprofit institution of higher education" language to indicate that government loans included those insured or guaranteed by a governmental unit and not just those made by a governmental unit, and that loans to a nonprofit institution of higher education were loans "made under any program funded in whole or in part by a governmental unit or a nonprofit institution of higher education". 1978: Initial enactment of the exception to discharge for education loans made by the government or colleges and universities. Loans were dischargeable if they had been in repayment for 5 years or represented undue hardship. 1976: A regulation precluded the discharge of education loans made by the government or a non-profit college or university during the first 5 years of repayment. Previously education loans were dischargeable in bankruptcy without any exception
I had 47K in loan debt. Spent a week in jail after I lived in a car for 16 days. I never thought the debt would go away. It’s over now finally
I'd love to hear a recording of Mike Leach talking to that bill collector.
I was a pretty good paper writer after law school 😂😂😂
Love this guy.
Really going to miss this man
I met a stranger in line yesterday at the store and he got the talkin about church and his wife..sounded just like this
Hahahahahahaha
Mike Leach is the best. Wish I could have played football for him.
Pure gold
Geez. What was the question?
Leach: “I’ll just go to Mexico! I’ll fall off the grid!” Lol
This guys deserve respect
Students agreed to pay for education just like if they bought a car or house However the interest rates are rediculious Fix the interest rates so you aren't drowning in those instead of the real cost
yep that's where I'm at with them. You agreed to a loan, you pay it back. I'm cool with waiving interest rates on them.
Fuken love this dude as a coach and his off the field philosophy on subject like the student loan bullshit. Student loan is a modern day loan sharking practice. Mike L needs to be made in charge of education department so he can say, "fuk it, all debt is now 0😎"
Nebraska needs to hire this guy as head football coach if they ever want to turn the program around. Heck he grew up in Cody Wyoming, close to Nebraska
Oh boy. This is somewhat painful to watch, but I appreciate him sharing this experience. There was a choice for him though, contrary to his statement; don't go to college. Sounds like he could saved himself some years of grief to do so.
Get this man a cough drop
Wait hold the F up, Mike Leach is a bar exam away from being an attorney.
Don't borrow money if you can't pay it back. You make debt, you take a job(s) necessary to pay them back.
What was the question that prompted this beautiful story?
That cough is heartbreaking looking back. A symptom of what was to come. 🏴☠️🏴☠️
I had no idea Leach and I had so much in common. I couldn't afford grad school in the US so took out federal loans to fund part of my living expenses abroad, where there is no tuition. As a foreign student I couldn't work more than 20-something hours per week because that required a different visa. My loans got deferred during my master's since the uni was recognized by the US government (probably because it is more white and Christian). However, I moved to another country for a well-funded PhD project, also where there is no tuition. Country 2's university didn't make their deferment list, despite being hundreds of years older than the United States and being a regional leader in research (poorer country with less Christians). Therefore, I took the once in a lifetime scholarship and told them I will never pay a penny of the interest you charge during my PhD. Within the first year or so my loans went to a private collection company that can't even tell me how much I owe or change my password for their website. I am still off the grid, which is why I wrote vaguely. If loans are not forgiven to some degree and Medicare for All doesn't happen, I will probably stay abroad. The hospitals are fine, and I never leave with a bill. If I have children, they won't have to ruin their lives for higher education.
what did you do withthe pHD?
It was your choice. And. You blame Christian's. You deserve what you get.
Stay where you are. We've got enough freeloaders already
Fuck you. Pieces of shit like you are why I walk into refinery that could blow up at anytime, just for my two week check to have $700+ taken out that I worked for. Piece of shit.
@@tree7249 I didn't blame Christians. I said our federal government didn't defer the interest on my loans while studying at a less white and less Christian university. They easily deferred it in Europe. Just pointing out their ridiculous bias.
This is Gold !! And from the 7 minute mark till the end is the best 🤣
this Mike and that Mike has VASTLY different ideas of what counts as "good" classes.
4:00 the list of the classes for those of you interested in becoming mike leach lol
A interesting guy and very smart. Sure gonna miss hearing him.
Spot on!
My daughter just graduated from High School last year. When she was a little girl, I never dreamed that I would be recommending she 'not' go to college when she got out of High School, but that is exactly what I have done. There are a lot better options than college these days. Unless you plan on going to college for a long time and getting a doctorate in something, I don't think it's worth the debt or the education you 'don't get. Hell, there are Walmart and Mcdonald's managers that make more than a lot of college graduates with Master Degrees. College is one big scam.
So what did you recommend she do? Marry some simp and stay at home?
If you want your daughter to work at Walmart or Mcdonald's just because the pay *seems* comparable to some rare cases of college graduates who struggle finding jobs, then that's your choice. Education is more important than just salary. The cost is certainly a scam, but it has many benefits. Instead of working to combat the costs, we hold the younger generations back. It's not good long-term.
@@Nick-yv1wy Many people are now stating to get trades. But if everyone is in a trade, does that not devalue the trade? I do not understand people sometimes. Most public universities are run as a business and usually, when something is run as a business, it is for profit gain. Sallie Mae (once government, run as a business), Public universities (government funded, but run as a business). They need to do yearly investigations to keep any type of business minded person OUT OF anything for the benefit of the people. That is what private unis are for.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 Do you mean people are getting jobs in "trades"? Yes, everyone getting a job in the trades may make the salaries lower. That's why many construction companies want that. The thing with college is you're learning to do things outside of your specific major as well and a network of well educated folks can actually see the writing on the walls and begin to bargain collectively to meet their needs. Public universities should certainly be kept in check to provide a good education as cheaply as possible. Regulations on cost should be made.
@@Nick-yv1wywell that’s why you got certain members of the congress thst want to wipe out every single dime on this modern day slavery of student loan and to make universal higher learning like in these other developed countries where it’s tax funded so the public goes for free and even pay people as an incentive to attend higher learning. But corporate media get paid by the scammers of student loans
Yeah, except they'd send you to jail, not take anything off your loan amount, and charge you interest and fees for missing the payments.
I owe $113,766.76 and I don't pay anything it's been 10 years and I'm not in jail. It's all just a scam.
Back then college was cheaper where people can work in the summer n save up to pay for school try doing that now. I hate to hear that shit.
A summer of full time work? Like 6000 dollars (in a high wage state) one semester of tuition and board at the in state 4 year? 20000
Noone makes you choose the 4 yr, go to community college and pay $2000 a semester. Don't complain when you want name brand but don't wanna pay name brand prices
“I figured they can only kill me once” 🤣
I love this guy
We truly miss you Coach.
He's coughing a lot here... looks like he's had pneumonia issues for a while. RIP in peace Coach! Hope you are in the big football field in the sky! ( :
Ya, the stress of coaching and the hours will do that.
Could you imagine sitting in a lecture from him? Just ranting like Louis Black in Accepted 😂
He was wrong to blame Carter. It was Paul Volcker at the FED that set the rates. Carter was only to blame insofar as he didn't think to propose changes to how student loan interest was calculated.
Leach is right where he belongs in Mississippi! Too bad the lowest wage earners in America can least afford college!
Do you have any link to that information?
@@jossposs6111 Any census in the last 30 years would be a good reference or source. Mississippi is POOR.
I’m a high school drop out I have zero student loans I have zero debt I don’t feel sorry for People who SIGN up for Student loans. My daughter asked me When she turned 18 “Are u gonna help me with college ?” I said on one condition, no student loans. She said deal. Now she has a masters degree and no Student loans
I do, having struggled 18 years to pay off my loans while providing affordable medical care for the uninsured.
In state and commuting? “BUT DADDDDYYYYY I WANT THE FULL COLLEGE EXPERIENCE” (then again nowadays the government thinks it’s your daddy anyways)
Kenwood22021 yeah I was sleeping in my car for 8yrs paying child support half my pay check. Yeah I felt all kinds of WHITE privileged
I have 2 little boys under the age of 5. I started college funds for them (529) immediately. When they turn 18, they will have more than 130k for college. If that's not enough, they are on their own!
Todd Salkowski $130k is not enuf. “There comes a point in your life when You realize having EVERYTHING is not enuf.” George Michael
They don 't call him the "Pirate" for nothing. One thing is for sure. Eye patches and swords will be a permanent fixture as a living tribute to Mike Leach at Mississippi State forever. Even the skull and crossbones should be on an eyepatch the Bulldog wears forever.
9:37 by far the best part of this video lol
Mike is hilarious!
Be on Twitter at night.He would tweet something.If you answered him he would answer you back.Had a few conversations with him.Great Guy!-
Mike conveniently omits the fact that it was Carter who passed the Guaranteed Student Loan Improvement Act of 1979 that actually lowered what had been historically astronomical interest rates.
Michael Conroy he probably did it before 79
You think that actually made college more affordable? You must be a Democrat!
Dustin Shield he said it lowered interest rates friend. Expansion and over-funding of administration is what’s raised higher education rates. Thanks capitalism.
You can watch every lecture from MIT on KZhead for free. Thanks capitalism. The cost of American higher education has nothing to do with capitalism.
And kicked the can down the road instead of fixing the problem.
"Not to get too political and make you wilt."
Long live the legend.
Here is a guy that would be willing to go to jail before he pays me back. Yes I want to loan to him!!!!!!
You must be the government.
I just KNOW that there was a student in his class that would ask a random question right before the end of class so Leach could go on a tangent and forget to assign homework.
RIP to the goat
In 1982 when I went to college, the Reagan admin had just killed the SSI college benefit for children of deceased veterans. That was a real hurt for an 18 yr old with nothing. At least I had a Pell grant. I also had to work and always had a job (or2). I made $4300 working which (unknown to my young dumb ass) was a couple hundred over the threshold for Pell qualification. They pulled my $4000 Pell and I had to drop out of college and work a year to return. Lesson learned!!
God bless him
I too would happily go to jail for a week, or 3 months to rid myself of my loans. $198,000. Now, a bunch of that is the ex-wife's loans. We consolidated our loans back when we were married. UGH! Then divorced. I'm stupid.
wow, she married a sucker lol
Carter loan was much higher than 8%....try 20%
Who is this guy, why is he in my feed? *not complaining, just curious*
Every super hero has an origin story…
He was a great person!
I was hoping he would get to the point after 8:00 minutes but never did. Any....fast forward to when he was coaching at WSU and then Miss St. and making $5M a year.......eye roll
This might be his best rant
The math does not add unless he was in law school when he was 19 years old.
If it was under Carter the interest rate was higher than 8%. More like 18%. Just like we'll get to with Brandon printing money like crazy now.
We get it, your guy lost. Have a tissue.
That’s cute you think trump and Biden have different policies. They are the most similar presidents in our history.
Drink every time he coughs!
In the ER with alcohol posoining.
