25 college football coaches you want to party with
By Brad Weiss
5. Kliff Kingsbury
During his collegiate career, Kliff Kingsbury was one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. He teamed with head coach Mike Leach to put up points in bunches, and still holds a few NCAA Division I records. He has since come back to be the head coach at his Alma Mater, a job he has held since 2013.
Kingsbury, 37, is still one of the youngest coaches in college football. A former NFL quarterback, he has taken a page out of Leach’s playbook. The Texas Tech Red Raiders love to run up the score, and their coach does not like to take his foot off the pedal.
To the naked eye, Kingsbury does not look like a head coach. In fact, he looks more like a male model than someone who was once one of the better quarterbacks in the NCAA. He struts around the sidelines with a certain swagger, and he has a coolness about him that cannot be matched in the coaching ranks.
A night out partying with Kingsbury would be filled with a lot of beautiful people, and some wild parties. Kingsbury is a bachelor, and is one of the most recognizable faces in Lubbock. I would think the sky is the limit hanging out with Kliff.
4. Mike Leach
Throughout his collegiate coaching career, Mike Leach has been setting records and pissing people off. There’s no doubt that he’s one of the best offensive minds in all of football, but his attitude has certainly turned some people off. He knows he’s an offensive genius, and makes no apologies for that.
Though he started coaching in 1987, Leach got his first job as a head coach in 2000. He was given the opportunity to be the main man at Texas Tech, where he installed an offense that made legends out of guys like Kliff Kingsbury. Leach went 84-43 as the coach of the Red Raiders, leading the team to the Cotton Bowl in 2008.
Leach captains the ship at Washington State University. He has brought his high-octane offense to the Cougars, and has gradually been turning the program around. In 2015, Leach had his best season at WSU, winning nine games.
Based on his antics in the past, partying with Leach would be an incredible adventure. Leach is also a quote machine, and one can only imagine the kind of things he would say with a few drinks in him.
