Title: Mike Leach passed away Tuesday December 13 - RIP Post by: 2Stater on December 12, 2022, 06:02:35 AM https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/12/11/mike-leach-hospital-health/
Quote Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach was taken to a hospital Sunday after experiencing a “personal health issue” at his home earlier in the day, the university announced. The school provided no further details on the condition of Leach, 61, who is in his third season with the Bulldogs. The school said that after a discussion between university president Mark Keenum and interim athletic director Bracky Brett, they decided to place defensive coordinator Zach Arnett in charge of the team until Leach is able to return. The university said it would have no other comment other than to say that “the thoughts and prayers of the university are with Mike and [wife] Sharon and their family.” From what is being said, it's apparently serious. From Dana Holgorsen: Quote My thoughts are with my mentor, my colleague and, more importantly, my friend, Mike Leach. While I am devastated by today’s news, I know Mike is a fighter with an incredible spirit and I know he will continue to battle. Prayers to Sharon and their extended family :pray: Title: Re: Mike Leach hospitalized Post by: Chechem on December 12, 2022, 06:26:06 AM The Bulldogs’ athletic department released a statement Sunday saying that Leach was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson after suffering a “personal health issue at his home.”
Sports Illustrated‘s Ross Dellenger noted that Leach’s medical situation was “critical”, which confirmed a report from 247Sports‘ Robbie Faulk that stated Leach “needed a miracle.” Sounds life threatening. :pray: Title: Re: Mike Leach hospitalized Post by: 2Stater on December 12, 2022, 06:30:43 AM The Bulldogs’ athletic department released a statement Sunday saying that Leach was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson after suffering a “personal health issue at his home.” Sports Illustrated‘s Ross Dellenger noted that Leach’s medical situation was “critical”, which confirmed a report from 247Sports‘ Robbie Faulk that stated Leach “needed a miracle.” Sounds life threatening. :pray: Sure does. Praying he pulls through. I just heard on SportsCenter that he had been battling pneumonia earlier. Don't know if this is related or not. Heart attack or stroke is what comes to my mind.

Also saw he was air lifted from Starkville to Jackson because it was critical. Stroke? :dunno: Title: Re: Mike Leach hospitalized Post by: pmull on December 12, 2022, 07:58:09 AM I read that it is a massive heart attack. He is in critical condition.

I’m not sure why everyone is being so secretive about the Mike Leach situation, but I’ll share what I know and what I’ve heard. We know Coach Leach was airlifted to a hospital in Jackson, MS yesterday with a serious health emergency and that’s all that is confirmed. He’s said to be in critical condition with a massive heart attack and that seems pretty reliable. There were some texts going around yesterday that said he did not survive but I believe those are false reports and have heard he is still fighting.

Title: Re: Mike Leach passed away Tuesday December 13 - RIP Post by: 2Stater on December 14, 2022, 06:01:09 AM The PF show the last 2 days was totally dedicated to Mike Leach, and the SEC Network had a tribute to him last night. Coach Leach was very well thought of.
RIP Coach. Title: Re: Mike Leach passed away Tuesday December 13 - RIP Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on December 14, 2022, 11:47:49 AM Lincoln Riley was hired by Leach as an assistant coach in the early 2000s. Leach was the head coach at Texas Tech back then. One day, Riley overheard a phone conversation that Leach was having, and Riley told The Players Tribune it went like this:
"He (Leach) picked it up (the phone) and said, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ And then he listened for a second and asked, ‘Where ya calling from?’ He kept talking on the phone and I eventually sort of tuned out. Now, a short phone conversation for Leach is an hour. So he was talking about this and that, and I was kind of hunkered down working on my own stuff. "At some point, the call got dropped. They must have lost reception. Coach said, 'Can you hear me? Are you there?' He hung up his old flip phone, swung it back open and redialed. He said, ‘Hey, sorry I lost you.’ And then they resumed their conversation for another 30 minutes or so before coach finally hung up. "After he was done, we started talking and I said, ‘Hey Coach, who was that on the phone?’ And he said, ‘Oh, they had the wrong number.'” Title: Re: Mike Leach passed away Tuesday December 13 - RIP Post by: 2Stater on December 14, 2022, 12:55:23 PM Lincoln Riley was hired by Leach as an assistant coach in the early 2000s.

Probably my favorite story about Leach.
