Add new Mississippi State coach Mike Leach to the list of college football coaches comedian/radio host Joey Mulinaro can brilliantly impersonate.
The 26-year-old Indianapolis resident recently spoke with For The Win about his style of comedy and the wide variety of impressions on his resume, and they aren’t limited to college football. Sure, a video of him impersonating Nick Saban talking about Thanksgiving sides is the one that first went viral, and he can do Ed Orgeron’s famous accent. But he can also do people like Andrew Luck and celebrity pastor Joel Osteen.
And now Leach.
In his latest college football video, which currently has more than 260,000 in less than 24 hours, Mulinaro not only captures the former Washington State coach‘s cadence and vocabulary, but he also portrays a popular dilemma.
Although some of Mulinaro’s past videos insert football coaches into random situations, with Leach’s penchant for random topics and tangents — like Area 51, why people hate cats, Pac-12 coaches fighting, Pac-12 mascots fighting, how he tracked a raccoon in the snow and why he cites Sasquatch for inspirational quotes— make this video about Netflix seem like something the coach would absolutely comment on.
When FTW spoke with Mulinaro in the days leading up to the College Football Playoff National Championship game, he explained how he also put together his Mike Gundy impression and mentioned a Jim Harbaugh impression is on his to-do list. He said he’s also working on improving his Dabo Swinney one.
Here’s another recent audio-only clip of Luck, Orgeron and Saban talking about Star Wars.
