Mississippi State's Coach Mike Leach Passed Away

Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late

The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder

I'm an over-forty victim of fate

Arriving too late, arriving too late

 

This is one of my favorites, mainly because it’s one of the rare times Mike is not talking. He could’ve went over and kicked them down, or pushed/slung them or instructed someone to do it. Instead he calmly walks over and systematically goes along and folds the chairs and drops them in place. Then as he walks off, staffers scurry to set them back up.

 

Rest In Peace

 

This is so appropriate, today. I'm truly saddened by the news.

 

Very saddening and sobering day. He was a great offensive mind and obvious great person with all of the kinds words we've seen pouring in from the CFB world and beyond.

RIP to Coach Leach and condolences to his family, friends, and those players and others who he reached throughout his life.

 

SECN 2pm

 

SEC Network got a Mike Leach program on now.

RIP COACH!!

 

First song I thought of when I heard he passed

 

I've always liked him. Innovative and always entertaining. RIP Pirate!

 

Condolences to his family. This is a very hard time of the year for a death of a loved one. You grieve every year from now on and it casts a pall over the holidays. Mike would say learn from this - take nothing for granted, live life to the fullest, for none know the day of their passing.

 

RIP COACH LEACH. God bring comfort to his family at this very difficult time.

 

Certainly sending thoughts and prayers to his family. Cannot imagine what they are going through. Incredible decision by the players and staff to play their bowl game in honor of Coach Leach! #HailState

 

I bet Leach is having a conversation with God right now about why candy corn sucks and gummy bears are great, and why nobody should get married and just elope, and what kind of mythical powers a sun devil has. Man, I'm going to miss this guy so much.

 

Coach Leach put the SEC into chaos. I didn’t believe he would find ways to beat the big boys, but they came down and it rearranged the order every media person had for the west. Tough times for the family, my prayers for them!
