The sticker also features a cowbell with a pirate emblem. The cowbell represents Leach's time at Mississippi State; while the emblem represents Leach himself, who many in and around football knew simply as "the Pirate".

Leach passed away earlier this month following a heart attack. During his time in college football, Mike Leach helped revolutionize offensive football by co-creating the Air Raid offense. He had stops as an assistant at places like Valdosta State, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. His first head coaching job came at Texas Tech, and he would go on to lead Washington State and Mississippi State.

One of the icons in the sport because of his incredible mind and wit, Leach left football fans with countless quotes and memories, like "Swing your sword."

His passing shook the college football world, but the outpouring of love has been overwhelming in the time since.
