Mike Leach

[Tim Steelersfan]

I saw this awesome story this morning about how Mike Leach, once-assistant at Oklahoma, duped Texas into using a 'fake play script' and it worked. Fascinating story. Enjoy.

The untold 1999 Texas-Oklahoma story of Mike Leach's fake play script

In 1999, the Sooners' offensive coordinator left a play sheet on the field to be discovered by the Longhorns, causing "pandemonium" and nearly engineering an upset.

Nice find Tim, thanks for posting.


Somewhere in there is a “Cheateriot” lesson, ONLY the scripts weren’t left to find but stolen when possible.

So, scheme, planning, coaching, all matter?

Hmm.

I wonder if Bellicheat knows this story.

Mike Leach sadly just passed away.

A very interesting man, kind of like Chuck Noll in the sense of being a very diverse individual with many interests and expertise outside of football.
