RIP Mike Leach

[NineOneSeven]

Awful. Such an interesting guy.

 

[samspann1]

Man, life is so fragile.

 

[Nick44]

Praying for Mike Leach.

 

[Jake]

Prayers up.

 

[Reilly35]

God help Leach, he’s a treasure of a human

The man absolutely loved his players

Not going into his political thoughts

 

[CA Monk]

Yeah there is bias but multiple ratings have the state either worst in the country or close to worse in the nation for multiple years. Below are links to multi year rankings of their health care, from multiple sources. So while there is likely geography bias time to time, there is factual evidence it is really lacking in healthcare.

Report ranks Mississippi last in the nation for health system performance during pandemic

A report from the Commonwealth Fund also saw Mississippi had the highest number of excess deaths during a two-year period from 2020 to 2022.

Even before the pandemic, Mississippi's health metrics worsened in key areas

Researchers pointed to high rates of early death, rising health insurance costs and wide racial disparities.

You ain’t just Whistlin Dixie.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Pull through, Mike.

Thanks for Shrader.

 

[djorange1989]

I read a quote from Kiffin, it was in the past tense about Coach Leach, so hopefully he hasn’t heard news that hasn’t yet been released

 

[tep624]

Definitely hope things work out here. Terrible to hear.

 

[djorange1989]

From what the mods are saying over there, it sounds like it may be a situation where he is on life support, and family needs to arrive there to talk to the doctors about it. It really sounds grave for him

 

[crales44]

I don't know if this is true, but it's plausible and I want it to be true. Hoping the pirate pulls through this.

 

[sutomcat]

Never met the man but how can you not love him. We need people like him in college football now more than ever.

Get well soon coach.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Just awful. Praying for him and his family.

 

[OburgOrange]

Terrible news. Hope he pulls through.

Thus is classic Leach

 

[XC Cuse]

The man absolutely loved his players

Not going into his political thoughts

Is the qualification regarding his politics necessary? We all encounter folks we disagree with politically daily. Things like what he is going through transcend politics.

Prayers to Mike and his family.

 

[Cusefan69]

Good luck to Mike and his family. Tough, tough situation.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Never met the man but how can you not love him. We need people like him in college football now more than ever.

Get well soon coach.

I’d be Ok with him taking over for JB even if he knows nothing about basketball.

 

[Ozzie0075]

Terrible news. Hope he pulls through.

Thus is classic Leach

The guy is treasure. Sports would be so much better if we had more personalities like Mike Leach.

 

[cuse309]

Saying pray if you believe, even if you don't believe pray anyway... that's kind of shaking me.

Hope he pulls through.

I pray you recover.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I pray you recover.

Wasn't what I meant.

 

[Qbobby]

The world needs more straight shooters like him. Hopefully it's not as dire as it appears to be.

 

[David332]

Praying for him right now. If memory serves this is the HC who switched Shrader from QB to WR causing him to eventually hit the portal.

This has SU connections and I’m sure he is on Garret’s heart and mind right now.

 

[Millhouse]

Nerds clusters are outstanding it's true

 

[Chip]

Nerds clusters are outstanding it's true

"You have to find them at the dollar store, and I do"

I don't disagree with him on much, but Almond Joy, no thank you.

Hope he recovers, the world is a more enjoyable place with him in it.
