Mike Leach Lookalike

TEXAS TECH'S MIKE LEACH HAS TURNED THE RED RAIDERS INTO A WINNING PROGRAM.

ALONG THE WAY - HE'S BECOME A RECOGNIZABLE COACH.

BUT PEOPLE STILL CONFUSE HIM FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

HE'S BEEN IN TOWN THIS WEEK AT A COACHES CONVENTION.
AND LET'S JUST SAY - IT'S FITTING HE WAS IN MUSIC CITY USA!

TEXAS TECH'S MIKE LEACH CAN'T GO FAR WITHOUT FANS COMING UP TO HIM.

SOME WANTING HIS AUTOGRAPH.

OTHERS THINKING THEY WERE ABOUT TO GET THE SIGNATURE OF A COUNTRY MUSIC STAR.

((Mike Leach says: "There's a waitress in Georgia who to this day thinks she waited on Vince Gill. And sometimes it's 'You look like Vince Gill.' And sometimes it's 'Are you Vince Gill.'"))

THE RESEMBLANCE INSPIRED A SONG.

((Song Full - "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's your favorite coach of all who looks just like a big celebrity? Mine's a guy from Texas Tech that makes his family have to check if he's not the country star from Tennessee."))

LEACH IS FLATTERED BY THE COMPARISON AND HE'S ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH HIS LOOK-A-LIKE ABOUT IT.

((Mike Leach says: "We talked a little bit about the whole resemblance thing and possibly having me lip sync a couple of concerts or something like that."))

BUT WHAT ABOUT PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT?

((Mike Leach says: "Ha when I was a kid I played the trombone. You know in the band in junior high I played the trombone."))

CLEARLY LEACH BETTER STICK TO COACHING BECAUSE...

((Song Full - "His Texas Tech Red Raiders are primed to go extremely far for a coach that looks just like Vince Gill. For a coach that looks just like Vince Gill (music fades quickly)))

COACH LEACH LOOKING RIGHT AT HOME WITH AMY GRANT - DON'T YOU THINK?

PERHAPS HE'LL GET AN INVITATION TO THE VINNY GOLF TOURNAMENT LATER THIS YEAR.

I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT!
