Medical issue for Leach…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Thoughts and Prayers from a Tennessee fan. I wanted him as coach when he was tired to our search years ago. He’s a treasure to the College Football World and seems like a genuinely good human being, in a profession filled with dishonest and fake, morally bankrupt, individuals. We here in the Volunteer State hope for the best and know some things - especially this - transcend football and let us know, despite silly rivalries and competition, all in all, we are all part of a big family of people who love the beauty, sport, legacy and pageantry of college football and Coach Leach embodied all that for the sport. Godspeed, Pirate. We are all cheering for you to win this fight.
My goodness…..look at all the fans from opposing schools coming in here.
DS will let anyone in here for a click, won’t he?***
On Bo's show, Rosebowl just said if Leach survives, it will be an absolute miracle if he coaches again. The kids have been called in, the final two will make it in today. They have decisions to make.
I just read through all nine pages hoping for some good news and came away with the same impression.
My heart goes out to the Leach family, they'll be in my prayers.
When they say the family has decisions to make its always very serious. They mentioned decisions before I crashed last night. That seems to indicate ventilator, feeding tube etc. Get yourself prepared for a coaching change as soon as our new AD is hired. This sucks for him and his family and the college football world. I wish he had more time to coach our team. Hopefully he can recover and retire.
Swing your Sword, Coach
it’s like a bad made for tv movie.
Seems like anytime we talk about a coach it’s someone getting fired or hired!
This is just different and heavy.
Best wishes to Coach and his family

I think we already have our new HC in Arnett
One poster on the SEC Rant (the thread is 60 pages) stated that he is on a bypass machine and they are just waiting for the remaining two daughters to get in.
Again, that is just from a random poster on a message board, but we need to be prepared.
It would be fitting to have another branch from the Leach coaching tree carry on the sword.
I would be in favor of Arnett as HC and Spurrier as OC but somebody else will figure that out. Consistency would be a good idea imo. It would be great if things turned out good for CML tho.
My guess would be that is fairly accurate. I made some comments last night guessing something similar and some didn't like it. It is what it is tho. If you have ever been involved in similar scenarios its easy to figure out what's happening here. I hate it but it is reality
Prayers for the Mike Leach and family from an LSU fan. I love the Pirate.
Hoping for a miracle.

I don't think there's any coach that would receive this much love, concern, respect and empathy from other fans around the country than The Pirate. I've been intrigued by the guy ever since I saw that 60 Minutes piece and have LMAO countless times watching him talk all those years before he was ever mentioned becoming our coach. And not only did he make me LMAO, he was interesting as hell to listen to just talking about life. If he were still at Washington State, I'd be taking it the same way other fans are and be bumed out as hell about it. A True Mold Breaking HC that's a Magician of the Game, Elite Story Teller, Genius Intellect, and Comedian all Wrapped Into One. This Stings and I Pray He Wins this Battle.
Prayers to the Leach family and also the other coaches and their family. This is a very uncertain time for them right at Christmas.
Cherish your time with your family folks. I need to do the same.
Fight Coach. Swing your sword like a damn pirate.

Auburn fan here and our board is just full of love for the Pirate. One of the most popular coaches out there, even among rival fan bases. Our prayers are with him and the family.
Hope this is not deemed inappropriate but here is one of coach Leach's first off the field video that got my attention and made me laugh. Hang in there coach.
Prayers to the Leach family and Coach Leach. He’s always been one of a kind.

LSU is standing with y’all. The Pirate has always been one of the things that made college football special. A one of a kind spirit and a pioneer of the game.

Little brother loves Mike Leach too. Prayers for a miracle, and if not that, comfort and peace to his family. Lord, we ask that you hold them close during this time. Amen.
Not inappropriate IMO. As a matter of fact, the next ant hill I see in my yard, I'm gonna try coffee grounds first before the Ortho.
Wow, just so sad that he would go downhill so fast after apparently being in good spirits on Saturday. Life is definitely precious and fragile and I have Coach Leach and his family in my prayers.
I do not deem it inappropriate. CML would love it and I feel he would want us to celebrate him.
It can happen to any of us at any minute. Massive heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms all happen in a matter of seconds
Prayers up from Hattiesburg for the Pirate to keep swinging his sword.
Gators are praying for Coach and his family.
Husker fan here. All of Big Red nation is pulling for Leach!

I’ve been through this and it’s one of the toughest things a family will ever go through. My Mom suffered a stroke back in 2014. She suffered another stroke less than 24 hours later. The tests revealed that there was no real brain activity after the first stroke. I was there as I lived close by. We had to wait for my siblings to travel great distances to get there. My Dad had passed years before and Mom had given me power of attorney regarding medical decisions. I was assured by the medical team that Mom was in no pain. She was in a coma and machines were the only thing keeping her alive. Once my siblings arrived we all stood around the bed and said our goodbyes. Our pastor as well as a couple of Hospital chaplains were there to pray for us. Once we said our goodbyes we left the room and in less than a minute those awful machines went silent. I made the decision. Mom was afraid my sister would keep her alive at all costs and Mama didn’t want to. That’s a tough decision to make, but I did what Mama made me promise to do if she ever reached the point that such a decision had to be made. I suspect those decisions have already been made by the Leach family and they just all wanted and needed to be together one last time. I know what they’re dealing with all too well, and I’m praying for them today.
I hope he gets a shot.

pretty much covers it.
Im glad they finally said what happened. Of course we all want to know but now that everyone kind of has an idea of how serious it is, they can stop speculating and stop the rumors and let the family deal with it as privately as possible.
I know to this point we we are his shortest tenure as HC. But, miracle or otherwise, fly the skull and bones somewhere in the stadium until the end of time.
Swing your sword.

I like like. Needs to be a permanent part of who we are.
