RIP Coach Leach

[Angry Ibis]

Not what I was expecting when this thread was made. Figured, ok, he fell ill or something, will read he is fine and will take a break. I hold out hope that it is not much more dire. Far too young, yes, 61 is still too young for this sh*t here. Prayers up for the man.

Agreed. Not good. Not good at all.

I’m legit upset. Like, almost mourning. So random. I knew I held the man in high regard but dang it man..

Coach Mike Leach is so much more than the funny stories and the silly anecdotes.

If it’s that… then it sounds like he may have went into cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. Prayers to Coach

Agreed. The timing of these events are critical to survival. He could've been down a while without O2 to the brain. It's unfortunate news. I'll keep he and his family lifted.

Offensive innovator, world class personality, great person by all accounts; please make it coach. The world needs more men like the pirate

Very sad. This is a great article, very well written. People get caught up in the person on the field. It seems like Leach was a great man and friend. Very sad. We need more people like him

The greatest CFB interview of all time. Guy is such a legend. Hope this time next week he’s back at the facility and asking reporters why they made such a big deal about “a little heartburn.”

Mike loved The Keys and The Keys loved Mike

Get well soon Pirate. CFB needs you.

Get well soon Pirate. CFB needs you.

Amen

From their site mod I believe. I don’t know **** but piecing things together from these and other reporters I wouldn’t doubt that he had massive heart attack and due to time before being treated was deprived of oxygen. His being “stable“ but not being at all good as family comes and has tough decisions to make just screams of him being brain dead. Yes. I’m speculating. I love that guy and his personality and it’s heartbreaking but man this doesn’t sound like it’s coming to a positive outcome.

I always thought Coach would be the perfect guy to replace Lou Corso when that day came on College Game Day. He'd be great. Hoping for the best for Coach Leach.

**** shame. Hope he pulls through and has quality of life.

He had massive heart attack and due to time before being treated was deprived of oxygen. His being “stable“ but not being at all good as family comes and has tough decisions to make just screams of him being brain dead.

That’s basically what I’ve read. No waves, just a machine keeping him alive. Been through this.. not good. So hard on the family. Keep em in your prayers.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Reading the tea leaves of those with personal connections to him...







He ded*.

Tragic loss for any family. CFB won't be as colorful with him gone.

Prayers for Mike Leach and family..always appreciated his filter-less interviews and moreso his offenses.

Imagine a program builder like Mario who possesses the offensive genius of a Mike Leach? It's how I'd build a coach in a lab if given the option.
