Here's a list of "cool" coaches for a tailgate:

I know they're former coaches but I would add:

1. Wanny. He'd bring fish sammitches from Wholey's and Ahrn City.

2. Mike Gottfried. He'd end the tailgate by smashing a chalkboard and walking through the Hill District at night.

3. Wlat Harris.

1. Ed Oregeon - LSU - would probably be a "Waterboy" frat party scene.
2. Barry Switzer - one of my all time favorite coaches.
3. Jimmy Johnson - don't know why, but I be it'd be fun.
4. Mike Ditka - I picture the Will Ferrell soccer movie.
5. Jim Tomsula - watch his WPIAL HOF speech. Gives you chills.
 
I dont know Leach would be fun to tailgate with. He is a good quote and says some funny shit but I could see him being a really awkward guy.

Mike Gundy, on the other hand, would be a ****ing blast to drink with. Wanny would be good as well.

James Franklin is more like the guy no one knows who comes to the tailgate with your friend and everyone is saying “who brought that guy”.

Leach for sure #1
I’d get him drunk and give him a thumpin’ for every point he ran up on us last year!
 
I have met the Head Ball Coach in a relaxed setting and you are totally correct: affable, approachable and tells great stories.
The guy had the best smack over his career. And those were on the record. I can only imagine how entertaining he is when came as are off.

Interestingly, he talked a lot about his time at Duke. Perhaps because it was a bigger chalkenge/more unexpected success.
 
Leach, Spurrier, Jimmy Johnson, Pete Carroll. I want to hang w/ the guys who always look like they’re having a great time.
 
Holgy
Wanny
"The Ball Coach" Spurrier

I think they would all get along really good!

Franklins seems like the guys that doesn’t contribute anything to the tailgate but a bag of chips he bought on the way from Sheetz. He feels his presence is enough.
That made me laugh!

He's the guy who you invite to your party, comes with nothing, and leaves with food and beverage.
 
Leach is a Mormon -- I am sure he has some good stories but the tailgate will be light on the alcohol (or soda for that matter).
