Description

Newly-minted Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach tells his captivating story––from rural Wyoming to law school to the upper echelons of the SEC.

SWING YOUR SWORD is the first ever book by one of the most fascinating and successful coaches in sports today. A maverick who took an unlikely path to coaching through law school, Mike Leach talks about his unorthodox approach to coaching and the choices that have brought him success throughout his career. A lover of the game who started creating formations and drawing his own plays as a kid, Leach took his Texas Tech Red Raiders to numerous bowl games, achieving the #2 slot in national rankings and being voted 2008 Coach of the Year before being unceremoniously fired at the end of the 2009 season. The scandalous nature of his dismissal created a media frenzy and began a personal battle between Leach and his accusers that remains unresolved.

    Those who try to cover their dark deeds in the shadows. With Mike’s passing, the more I looked into this guy, the more I needed to know. Read the book in a week. What a trashy good ole boy network at Texas Tech led by small white men of mediocrity . SOB’s.

    Excellent book. Much more technical than any other coach's book I've read. The insight into coaching is intriguing. After reading the book it became clear how great of a coach Mike Leach is. John Cubit

    I'm now more fond of Mike than ever. I'm embarrassed to be a graduate of TTU as they maintain their affiliation with Kent Hance and the Board of Regents connected to the attempt to assassinate the character and integrity of Mike! This Country has lost our values that made us great! Politicians (Kent Hance) abusing their power at the expense of established policies is unacceptable in any arena and especially the arena of higher education! I think I'll burn my TTU diploma! TRUTH, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY will prevail in the end! TTU does not deserve students or staff with character! Good luck to all harmed by TTU's Board of Regents and Kent Hance! You can put lipstick on a pig but in the end; everyone discovers it's just a PIG/s! Kent Knight Midland, Texas

  • Awesome book!

    Loved the book! There aren't many books I would want to read twice, this is one I may crack open again. There is so much a reader can take away from Mike Leach's story. The insight into the situation at TT was a real eye-opener.

  • Great read

    I enjoyed the book a lot. Mike Leach is a fantastic leader and teacher. Good luck to him at WSU. Everyone knows what a snake and low class citizen Craig James is, this only reaffirms it. Great read.
