Mike Leach’s win percentage is just a fraction off the number necessary for Hall of Fame consideration Football’s biggest names say that’s no reason to exclude the legendary coach
Football World Pushes for Mike Leach’s Induction to the Hall of Fame
“Where the difference comes in here is that Mike was a young man and he passed away,” Hatchell says. “The fact that he passed away brings a different perspective on this. Everybody would say he’d continue to coach and continue to win.Since Hatchell took over at NFF in 2005, the organization has been notably stringent on its coaching induction requirements–a purposeful mission to protect the sanctity of the Hall of Fame.
The 2024 class will be selected next fall through an elaborate nominating and voting process. Hatchell expects all three schools at which Leach coached to nominate the coach for the Hall. Nominees are sent to nine district screening committees spread across the country. They narrow the group to about 75. Those are placed on the national ballot and voted on by all dues-paying NFF chapter members, NFF academic members and Football Writers Association of America members.
