I think Bully has a new permanent pre game flag.
Medical issue for Leach…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
They're going to wait for all the family to arrive and be informed before anything else gets released.
I hope he regains consciousness enough for Jackie to visit him in the hospital.

I went thru it with my wife. She had 2 aneurysms and I had them remove the feeding tube and ventilator. Only correct decision
Big prayers for him and his family today. I think we all can tell the news is not good this morning, and I truly hate that.
If it is his time, may the angels meet him at the gate and welcome him in and may God make a little extra time for the thousands of questions Coach probably has saved up.

This is incredibly sad. I’m so sorry. Praying for CML, his family and “ALL” involved. Coach Leach is a National Treasure and I’ve always admired him. I actually wanted him hired over Freeze. He was my top choice and it wasn’t particularly close. Everyone is better off with a little CML in their life. Everyone …
Hattiesburg American reporting a massive heart attack with seizures. Not good.
They're just running what what the clarion ledger reported earlier this morning.
Sure would be nice if this was just Mike coaching in the 2nd Quarter down 28-3 at Auburn...
been trying to find the HailState highlight from that game. There is a great moment in the video when Leach is calmly exhorting the team during the comeback, he pauses for a spit second then says "now WIN this game."
Would love to see it. Prayers for him and his family.
If the decision to be made when kids arrive is an "unhook or not" decision, then the next update will be a grim one. Prayers for strength and peace for the family. Some friends said this morning that the decision was whether to attempt open heart surgery or not, likely with concerns as to wheter Leach would survive the surgery. I wish that was reliable information because that would indicate some hope of survival, rather then an unhook decision. Sadly, my belief is that they are waiting to make the first decision, rather than the second one.
Regardless, I pray for God's grace for Mike's condition, strength for the family and peace for the drcisions they will be making today.
Heartbreakingly sad

I would think if attempting surgery was a viable option they would have been working on that last night. Postponing it would not be helpful.
Steve, just reported that Leach is nearing the end and the news could come at any time. They transitioned him to "comfort care". Horrible stuff, but I figured the result was not going to be what we hoped for when there was no updates from yesterday morning.
Steve just gave his "final" update over at GP. Yes, it's grim.
According to the Twitter update, he's basically on hospice care until the family makes the decision.
My experience with this based on what I went through with my father suggests that he's being transitioned to comfort care because the family made the decision. It means they're disconnecting him and making him comfortable while he expires.
I actually just sat down at work and cried. Know that you will be missed Coach.
My father died like this. I had to make the choice alone.Forgive me if posts from other boards aren't allowed, but this was just posted
Comfort care for my father meant they removed the ventilator and gave him a huge *** shot of morphine. That's probably what is being done here.
Well, if he is about to go, which it sure sounds like he is, I am sure glad he is going out a winner with an 8-4 season and the egg.
You all know Leach would not want us all crying over him. He would want to be celebrated and everyone to go out and swing their sword and be the best they can be today. He lived as hard as he could so see ya later coach. Safe us a spot
I've never understood taking someone off their feeding tube or venilator. An overdose of Morphine sounds more humane.
I've received info from someone who would know and would have no reason to exaggerate that the worst is true.
It's absolutely gutting. Just at a complete loss for words.

Jesus just had to get in this transfer portal and I guess he got his pick
Hoping he sails easily into the dark night. May he rest in peace.
I really wanted him to get his chance to get us to that new playoff.
So sad for so many...

Prayers for Mike and his family. Wonderful guy who brought a lot to the table. I'm glad he was our coach and I'm a devastated Bulldog and I just feel so awful for his family. Thank you for the memories, Mike. RIP
Rest in Peace, coach. Was a pleasure to have him in maroon for as long as we did. Only 3 short years, but will always be a Bulldog legend to us.
I’m sad that we are losing a genuinely good person. The world needs more people like Coach Leach in this chaotic time. I enjoyed watching Coach Leach coach our bulldogs. He was like a kid on the playground when he was coaching football. You could always look in his eyes and tell he enjoyed every minute. I loved Coach Leach’s casual demeanor, because it always put a smile on my face. At the end of the egg bowl, Coach Leach said something to Kiffin when he was about to walk away that he thought was funny because you could see the smirk on his face. I will always remember that about him that even in a rival game, he was always a genuinely good guy and never took anything seriously. If only we could all be like Mike Leach. Godspeed Coach.
Because it is ILLEGAL in most states. I sat through it with a grandmother, my Dad, and my wife. If you had that experience you would understand. Hopefully you will never have to experience making that choice.
Kiffin had a pretty touching statement yesterday about Leach. Said he truly loved him and couldn't believe he was just hugging him a few weeks ago.
God bless the Leach family. College football won't be the same without Coach Leach.
Sending thoughts and prayers from Ohio. Such a tragedy.
