Mississippi State's Coach Mike Leach Passed Away

Damn, best wishes for a full recovery. Perspective, things can change so fast for any of us.

 

Twitter is full of folks offering support, prayers, and short clips like this recent one -

 

I love this guy- so worried about this. We need more Coach Leaches (not that he is perfect- he is not.)
Hope he pulls through.

 

I love Mike Leach. Hands down my favorite college football personality since Spurrier. Prayers for him and his family.

 

In a world full of cookie cutter, cardboard cutout coaches, people like Leach and Spurrier are a breath of fresh air.

 

There has been an incredible outpouring of support for CML, to no surprise. A bit more information:

Well, this sucks.

 

prayers to Coach Leach.

 

The Mike Leach types are relatable because they are us. They are the type of person we often want to be.

Imperfect, but honest.
Brash, but caring.
Competitive, yet beloved.
Measured, yet shackle free.

We need more Mike Leach types.

Right now though, Im praying God allows us more time with the original.

Praying for you coach!

 

Don't know how accurate this is. Hope it's not true.

 

It took over 10 minutes to get his heart beating again.

Beautiful article.

 

more than likely by the time he got to the hospital he was already brain dead- out with no CPR and no O2 for close to 15 minutes - it is really really unlikely be survives- prayers for his family and team

 

I’m hearing the same. Sad day for college football.

 

Thats never good unless you fell in a frozen lake.
