Mike Leach hospitalized - passed away

[KoachKrab127]

When all you can do is speculate and rely on 2nd hand information that’s what you do.

Sometimes, the best thing to do is just be patient. It won’t hurt anyone to wait a day or two to find out what happened.

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.

Don't be ridiculous. ESPN runs a list of stories down the right side of its home page all day, every day. The rest of the page is available for bigger news if and when there are more details to report. Silly comment.

I can’t believe that people still get their sporting news from ESPN?!

Why can't you believe it? Because /you/ don't like ESPN?

 

[turbovol]

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.

Except that CBS has also been broadcasting college football--specifically SEC football--for a long time.

Usually it hits VN I won’t even try to deny that..

I don’t. I watch live programs but rarely anything else.
I’m not belittling anyone that does, I just don’t care much for ESPN or most of their content.

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!!!

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Must have been rough.

The girl that filmed her filmed her family member dying. There is nothing lower.

Some people need to learn that just because something is happening in public, that doesn't mean it's any of your business. And just because it's legal to film in public, that doesn't mean you have to do it, and it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Some people have no shame. It's disgusting.

Being in healthcare, you see the worst in humanity, but also some of the best, we try and tell the new ones that so they don’t leave screaming.. but humanity in general does seem to be progressively worse from when I started in 2001, not gonna lie.. I personally think cellphones and social media have made us lose a lot of empathy for each other

 

[MattR11]

This is the only update I've seen this morning. Hope he pulls through

They absolutely have the world and humanity was better before smartphones and social media. It has poisoned our youth too. Take me back to 1986 please.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I really hope he pulls through. I’ve always thought he’d be a great coach to play for

 

[Hopeful Vol]

“The Clarion-Ledger reported that the Mississippi State coach had a massive heart attack on Sunday, and Leach, 61, collapsed at his home in Starkville, but did not receive medical attention for between 10 to 15 minutes. EMTs used a defibrillator machine and delivered multiple shocks to restore normal heart rhythm.

After he was stabilized at Oktibbeha County Hospital, he was transported by helicopter to UMMC.

Leach also may have suffered seizures with the possibility of brain damage as the situation is dire.”

Looks like things are not going to end well for coach if this is true..I don’t know anything about this reporter. This is definitely sad news.

Prayers for Coach Leach and his family

Not a reporter. Bought his blue check, has 300 followers.

I notice he says stroke but the news paper from Starkville says heart attack (though it apparently may have stopped oxygen flow to the brain). I'm skeptical that guy has the real inside scoop.

Official update from Mississippi State

Update on MSU Head Football Coach Mike Leach

 

[BigALWiLson]

Prayers to CML and his famaily invluding MSU. I always enjoyed The Pirate and his philosophy.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Please make it through Coach Leach.

It may end up being true that he passes away, but this dude isn't legit.

 

[lilesrt]

Agreed. Speculation at its finest.
