The head coach of the Bulldogs is none other than Mike Leach. Leach spent a short time as the offensive coordinator for Kentucky in the late 90s under Hal Mumme. The patent Air-Raid offense Leach made famous in stints at Washington State and Texas Tech is still the same tried and true approach the pirate has brought to Starkville.

Leach has had nothing but praise for coach Mark Stoops and the Wildcats leading up to the big game this week. Leach has split victories with Stoops in his first two seasons with the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs head coach is one of the many reasons why college football is so enjoyable.
