Mississippi State University knows people all over the football world are concerned and thirsty for good news or any official news about Coach Leach.

That it hasn't been released can only mean it can't or shouldn't be released yet. It's not like it's a conspiracy to keep everyone in the dark.

And truthfully, it wouldn’t be fair to Mike Leach’s family to release anything at this point. If, in fact, family members are trying to get to Jackson to be with him or any other myriad of possibilities, it would be poor form to announce anything until the family and the university have been made aware of any changes to his condition.

Exactly. If they could release something, they would. I'm proud of the professionalism of the staff at CMMC in Jackson that we've not had much in the way of HIPAA violations.

I'm impatient too but I've also been there when things were grim and I didn't know who to call or not call and tell and not tell what was going on.

If it's a long hard night for us, I'm sure it's even worse for Mike Leach's family.

I was on a plane to Dallas a few weeks ago, when a man about 10 rows behind me had a massive heart attack on the flight, and we had to emergency land in San Antonio. the paramedics boarded the plane at the gate, cut the man’s top layer of clothes off, carefully put him on a hand carried gurney, and mounted an autonomous defibrillator device over him…pumping chest compressions in perfect rhythm while blowing oxygen into his airway, via mask. pretty sure he was gone.

beyond that tragedy, the most disappointing thing occurred. the staff had to actually call people out for videoing the event with their phones.

my point? privacy in todays day and age is so rare, even in the most private situations.

get well soon, coach!!! 🙏🏼

Correct. I think we can all read the tea leaves and know it’s not looking good. People aren’t owed info. McCready posting what he did is garbage. He knows that. A guy like that passing on “I heard” stuff like that is weak and tacky. Fans do it, but media guys doing it is even worse.

You know, I really try to stay out of the whole ESPN hate thing but this is a bit absurd.

Just checked the site to see if there were any updates on Leach and this story is buried halfway down the page after a story about Britney Griner still being able to dunk a basketball after her issues. Also another story about a US WC player almost being sent home-two weeks ago.

Pretty freaking sad espn.

Once again, best wishes to Coach Leach and family. You may love him, you may hate him, but you can't deny he has done it his way.

In fairness to ESPN, they place their stories by the time they're filed. You can look and see that for each story.

If there's an official update to the Coach Mike Leach story, it'll move right back to the top.

Not really. The stories listed after the Leach entry were posted AFTER some of the others.

Been a long day dude. Give me my mild annoyance. It's really the only thing keeping me awake right now.

I'm good with the "news" ESPN provides because it's pretty easy to sort the BS from things that matter at a glance.

I, too, think Brittney dunking is an obvious "feelgood," let's try to boost the WNBA story. The lady is 6'9" and a pro basketball player and that she walks on a court after a few months off and dunks isn't real news.

ESPN and Fox/Disney are toxic and hateable for the stranglehold they have on college football but their attempts at "news" are pretty transparent as information or fluff.

Hope this is a big turnaround for Leach.

Reminds me of Joe Morrison at USCe. That is the last incident similar to this that I can remember.

The fact that the AD has already named the interim, tells me all I need to know.
Prayers for all involved!
