Not much info out there. Just a medical event at home and he was rushed to hospital. I would guess heart attack. From the reports, it doesn’t sound good . Says he needs a miracle. Prayers for him and his family.
Mike Leach hospitalized - in critical condition
- Thread starter 18IsTheMan
- Start date
I’d say many in the media and coaches in the conference were just updated on how serious his situation is since it seemed like many just started talking about it. Some sound as if they were able to speak to him and thank him for the impact he had in their lives. Doesn’t sound good.
If what I’m reading is correct, he went a long time with no oxygen to his brain. Even if he were to pull through, it sounds like it would be a long, long road to recovery.
Sad day.

Lane posted a tweet last night, all in the past tense, and then deleted it. My guess (please note I say guess, nothing definitive) is massive heart attack.
FWIW....post on Twitter about congestive heart issues...was supposedly detected earlier. Not sure why Mike was not being treated or taking a break if this was known.
He's 61.

I saw that. It does not sound good at all. Naming the interim immediately. Putting out there that they are waiting for all his kids to get there. Not good at all.
The news story stated that he had been some time getting medical help and being revived, hence, loss of oxygen to the brain for some time - very ominous.
I saw that too. I have a feeling we'll be getting sad news from MSU in the near future.
Mike Leach had passed away. May God bless his soul, and bring peace to his family.
This is heartbreaking news.
This is heartbreaking news.
I remember Joe's passing like it was yesterday. I feel bad for Mike Leachs' family including the Miss. State family. Condolences to them. May he RIP.I can't remember any Div-1 coach passing while active since we lost Coach Joe.
Some of us old enough, feel their pain.
I think the Penn St/Paterno thing may have been worse on any of their fans. That was a dreadful ending.
At least Coach Leach ended his career on a high note. His legacy will always be marked by that. But it is a terrible, hurtful loss on so many fronts.
