It’s never good when every report coming out has “ critical “ in quotation marks , I don’t believe .

So I went to SECRant to see if any MSU fans could provide some insight, and it sounds like he had a massive coronary event, was airlifted via helicopter to UMMC in Jackson, and is in critical condition (life support) while his family "has some difficult decisions to make." Apparently the transport to Jackson was delayed due to weather and a low ceiling, which didn't make matters any better. Sounds like a good length of time with no oxygen going to his brain, and barring a miracle, has permanent brain damage. Seems like a matter of time before the family says their goodbyes and makes one of life's most toughest choices. At the very least, it seems as though Coach Leach may have coached his last game. Again, this is me relaying information from TOS; I have no inside information, nor do I claim to.

As an aside -- and this is trivial given the circumstances -- I have to applaud Freak for giving us the best message board out there. The Mike Leach thread was derailed several times by politics and Covid arguments, which made me thankful for our separate political forum. They have a downvote button, which sounds nice sometimes, but can really sow negativity throughout a discussion and causes people to pile on and derail the conversation. The ability to click on a quoted post and go back to it is super helpful to follow a thread; seems like they don't have that option. The webpage formatting is so much cleaner here. Plus, it's nice that there's pretty much entirely Tennessee fans here, and the fans from other teams are usually pretty polite houseguests. Pretty easy to see why there weren't a lot of Tennessee fans over there -- they're all here.

Just reading the tea leaves and having a little experience... It sounds like CML had a massive heart attack and is on life support. Bringing in the family to go over options and say goodbyes.

There was some bad weather that delayed the air bus from leaving the ground so it took him more time to get to UMMC than it normally would have. I'm not hearing anything about him being pulled off life support or that he's passed away.

They wouldn't do that until the family had assembled.

This is why people should keep their mouths shut until something official comes out "From the Family" People think they know stuff or Believe everything they hear or read when 90% of it is a bunch of Lies.

I agree but most of what I’ve seen is thoughts and prayers for the family.

Keeping mouths shut ma be some harsh language but, yes, I agree. There's no point in speculating about Mike Leach and his health issue. We know that it's bad and that's all there really is to know right now.

Unless you're some young beat reporter trying to get first access to the info, there's really nothing more to think about.
