[Stan The Bat]

Sending prayers up for The Pirate. An original.

This is just really depressing. I really admired him as a coach.

Wanted to say heart felt thoughts to everyone here who’s shared an event, many recently, where someone close passed. God bless all of you and your families. My mother passed relatively young the day before Thanksgiving 2016. Thanksgivings will never be the same. Unfortunately she was preceded by just about every family member I spent my life growing up with. God bless the Leach family and all those who’ve shared in his life. And above all God bless Mike. May his body be calm and his spirit at peace no matter what his condition is.

I’ll say this as we are in the thick of holiday season. God bless all of you and your families. I’ve been blessed beyond what I deserve and can say it’s good to have passions in life (like our Canes) but ultimately those things pale in comparison to the experiences we share with others in life. Fatherhood, marriage, the love of experiences with those I’ve been blessed enough to have, and holding the hands with those I’ve loved as they took their last breath has shaped me and I hope the same for everyone else.

And very last but not least. As blessed a season this is for many, it’s brutally difficult for many others. A colleague of mine took his life some years back and it quickly opened my eyes to the deep and often painful introspection people take this time of year. Whether it’s you or someone you know or love, remember with one exception there’s always another day. Don’t be afraid to get help or be man enough to stick your neck out to help someone who sees this time of year different than many of us.

This is Sad! It really put things into perspective.. Life and Family comes before football. May his family find peace and know the entire college word is thinking of them in a time like this !

Mississippi state fans already asking about the next coach

I somewhat get the sentiment, but Still, it sounds ghoulish.

Sad day. He really wanted an opportunity to coach at Miami. As I've stated many times, my brother played for him so this stings. Rest in Heaven.

[StPeteCane]

Dammit man

In reading the article, it appears that in passing he was able to give the gift of life to others via organ donation. To me the ultimate act of generosity and so commendable. Rest in peace coach while you live on in those you were able to help.

This one sucks.

Rest in Power.

One of the most important coaches of his era. Brilliant guy. His coaching tree is in full bloom, its vast, and its everywhere. One of the most influential minds in college football.

The most entertaining.

This one sucks.
