As opposed to a non personal one? Hope he is ok.

Miss St. has named one of their coordinators as interim coach. Makes sense, but sounds scary.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Hope he is OK. Don’t know him personally but he does have a place in KY Football history. Air Raid were some good times

 

[Grumpyolddawg]

He hasn't looked well all season. When we played he could barely speak to the reporter

I thought so too, looked overweight.

 

[Grumpyolddawg]

I thought so too, looked overweight.

Yeah, but his color just wasn't good. I never seen anyone that color who wasn't sick

With HIPPA rules they aren’t going to go into much detail, nor should they. Agree with you that I hope he is ok.

There is a local hospital in Starkville and he was taken 128 miles away to UM Hospital in Jackson? Interesting.

 

[Snarks]

Rumor was he was going to retire at end of season, wish him the best though!

 

[JHB4UK]

Uh it sounds very very bad. The transfer was allegedly because he had a severe neurological event. Might be a debilitating stroke.

I don't know if I buy that rumor. Why would have yet to announce and put MSU in such a bad spot as far as hiring a new HC?

If Leach was going to retire, I would think that they already have the coach in waiting in Arnett.

It was on several boards he was going to step down for health reasons around the time UGA played them. Of course rumors are just that, but he didn't look healthy this year, at least to me he didnt.

 

[zcats]

I love the guy. He is just genuine and puts himself out there. He is a great coach. Get well coach.

 

[Jumpercat]

Praying for coach leach!

Somebody else said he had a heart attack, but his family deserves privacy either way, prayers to him and let’s pray he makes a full recovery and gets well again

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Very sad. That tweet by Robbie Faulk is disturbing. He apparently is very close to Leach. Needing a miracle is a pretty clear statement from someone in the know.

Update per Miss St 24/7

 

[TuckyFB]

******* sucks.

 

[RACdad]

Damnit man!

 

[Grumpyolddawg]

According to reports,things are not looking good for coach Leach. Really hope the best for him and his family.

 

[calismyhero]

Prayers for him and his family. Lord please help them.

 

[Mikey Likes It]

Prayers for Mike Leach and his family

[MidseasonTweak]

Devastating. Pull through, coach!

 

[The_Oak]

Horrible news, I hope he pulls through. My thoughts are with him and his family.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Ole Miss Rivals reporting family is being called in to say goodbyes. Don't be surprised if you wake up to hear he has died.

Extremely sad.

 

[Burly]

Hate this - one of a kind

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

****ing sucks.

Yeah, everyone in the know is painting a VERY dire picture. I have zero doubt his career is over, hopefully his life is not.

AUBURN board saying his ordeal is over. No idea how they know this. But the situation is very dire.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Prayers for The Pirate and his family and all those who love him.

I have a question for ya but its inappropriate here. I'll start a new thread. As for Coach, I'm certain he's had a major stroke which usually isn't survivable at his age.

Major heart attack is what’s being said.

 

[Jimerussell]

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear this. I always liked Leach. Praying for a speedy recovery for him.

 

[bbncal02]

Just heard about this.


Prayers for him and his family and friends. Good guy. You hate to see this.

That effing sucks. As someone who struggled and struggles with taking care of himself. Your health is important. Take care of yourself and if a job is too much step away.

I hate this for him and his friends and family.
