Good coach, good father, good person, and one of the nice guys in college football.
People always talk about the big money in college football, but the stress is a real killer.
God bless his family.
Always interesting. Left us too soon!
A sad day for the Bulldogs.

Loved this guy. Some of the best interviews in coaching. Heck of a football coach too. He won at some difficult place. Texas Tech. Washington state and Stark Vegas. Innovative with the passing game. You will be missed Pirate

I don't know if that was necessary. Never met the man, so don't know his beliefs, but I think its still respectful to wish him and his family peace.
Loved his interviews. Loved his Air Raid. Even hoped he would come be an OC here maybe!
RIP.

Such a gut punch. I was hoping in 2008 that Clemson would hire him and bring his offense here. Obviously, we promoted Dabo, and the rest is history. But I always kept up with Leach and his ever-present pre game cup of coffee.

Very sad. Great coach and smart man. Loved his family. Found his introductory press conference for Mississippi State on youtube yesterday. If you have a chance watch it. Notice his excitement about a class he taught at WSU and then how affirming he was to MSU players and his new home.

Watching his wedding rant, too bad I didn't have him around to talk me out of that mistake several years back.
Hate Clemson didn't get to cross paths more w/ a Mike Leach-coached team, but perhaps for the best considering how bad Texas Tech put it on us in the '02 Tangerine Bowl.
Prayers to his family & all those he impacted along the way.

R.I.P. This is so sad. I watched a few of his post-game news conferences over the past month and he was coughing a lot. Heard he had walking pneumonia. Wonder if that caused his heart attack. He will be missed.

I read the same...chances are if he got the deadly jab it simply further exacerbated his symptoms as the jab's intent is to destroy the host's immune system - cause myocarditis, blood clots, etc.
Sad days for sure as all of these people that are dying "suddenly and unexpectedly", well, some of us have known for a long time (and tried to warn as many as possible) what the jab was truly about - The Great Awakening. People are about to finally break free of their programming and brainwashing and come to realize the media, the Left, the entire establishment is their enemy.
Those that hated Trump (because the TV told them to) are about to realize he was trying to save them, yet their ignorance and programming had them hating the good guys, allthewhile following (blindly) and believing the truest evil the world has ever known - the Left.
It's going to be a rude awakening for many, but it had to be this way, this was the only way to wake the sheeple...as they now come to realize their lives are in jeopardy because they've been brainwashed by the TV.
So so sad.
RIP Coach, and every one that has been, and will be a victim of Left wing ideology. Facts.

One of my favorite coaches ever
Dec 13, 2022, 12:36 PM

A true football genius. I really wanted to see him pull a couple of really good classes at Miss St. to see just how much havoc he could bring to the SEC. Sadly we won't get to see that He was a one of a kind and truly changed the game. Although his win% may not be all that high (around 60%) he should be inducted in the college football Hall of Fame. No one in the last 20 years has had anywhere close to impact on the offensive side as ML.
A huge loss to the college football world.

Gotta respect his willingness to call BS when needed.
He put together some tough squads in locales that make it hard to draw top talent.
He’ll be missed by the fans, players and their fat girlfriends.

Personal story
Dec 13, 2022, 1:39 PM

A year and a half ago, I had an aortic rupture in my widowmaker at 43 years of age. I workout six days a week, eat right, and am in the best shape of my life. My mama's side of the family is riddled with heart disease so I knew it would be a reality for me at some point (hence my regimen). Docs told me had I not come in I would have been dead within 24 hours.
I'm medicated and doing well now, but having an experience where you have to face your own mortality is a huge wake up call to the fragility of life. I know that some of you fellow posters have probably had the same experience. What I've learned is to wake up everyday grateful to just be alive and everything else is icing on the cake.

Dang, glad you are ok!
I too had a recent brush with mortality and it is indeed sobering. You learn real quick how things we love, such as football, just aren’t worth getting that worked up about.
Family and friends are where it’s at.

So sad...going to guess he got the deadly, experimental jab. People are dropping dead, "suddenly and unexpectedly" all over the World...but it's not, some of us knew before it even began the Left had planned to use "vaccines" to depopulate the World. Gates and Fauci have said many a times over the past several decades they planned to depopulate the World using "vaccines". Hopefully, and as awful as this entire situation is, the sheeple will wake up to the evil that is Left wing ideology.
Goodspeed and RIP Coach Leach; along with so so may others that have, and will pass as a result to the jab.

Very sad.
He was the only real coach that coached the game like a kid plays the game on Playstation. He would go for it on 4th and 20 from his own 20 yard line sometimes and that was just craziness, but he knew that they could always come back from any score. I was never a Texas Tech fan, but that team was interesting while he was there and he dominated a much more talented Texas A$M team time after time. Aggys hated Leach and then he dominated them again at Miss State. Gotta love that
