Mike Leach hospitalized
Mike Leach was airlifted 100 miles to a hospital today. It does not sound good.

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
One of my all time favorite coaches. Sure wanted him at Arizona.

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
Could have been ours. He lobbied for the job, but we went with RichRod instead. Leach was deemed too toxic at the time. Ironic, considering how RichRod's tenure ended.
Wish him well and hope he can fully recover. Hope to see him one day on the sidelines again, but outlook not looking great. Real innovative coach that can take any school to the top.

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
At this point with rumors of other health problems it's probably time for him to retire

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
Just horrible news...
Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
Such sad news. He was supposed to be at their bowl kick off luncheon a few days ago. Not sure how the team moves forward. Seems like a good time to bow out of that game, especially if things end up being even worse news wise

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
I really wanted him at Arizona like I mentioned above. All they had to do was have him sign a zero tolerance policy contract, where if he abused any players he would get fired with no severance pay.
Anyone who can win at WSU can coach for any of my teams. Mike Price too, he took Wazzu to 2 Rose Bowls and put 5(?) WSU QBs in the league during his tenure. UA of course has no Rose Bowl appearances, and the only UA QB to take a snap in the NFL during the PAC era (since 78) is Nick Foles.

Rumor that Leach is being transferred to comfort/hospice care

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
This is just awful news. Was not only a great coach but he never seemed to take everything so seriously. His sense of humor/timing is legendary.
God bless Coach Leach.
God this day has been so shitty. My 12 year old poodle Autumn who was also beside me during work at home and Arizona games passed away yesterday. She watched us beat Indiana for her final game. I'm already in mourning.

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
Ugh. I hate to see anyone go out like this, but Mike Leach always sounded like a fun guy and clearly he was a great coach. What an awful loss for Football right before Christmas.

He was a natural stand up comedian whose side gig was excellent football coaching.

From Mike Leach's cameo on Friday Night Lights:
“You’ve got to find your Inner Pirate. A lot of times things just happen for a reason. We don’t know why God wants it that way. But you can’t make the best of it ‘til you get back your Inner Pirate.”

Love all these amazing clips people have been posting all day around the net. RIP Coach.

Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
Aw, man. Sounded like this was the inevitable, but still sad. I truly loved his humor. Rest in power, coach. Hey, he has the last date on his tombstone as my late husband. That’s a conversation I’d like to hear…
Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
I'm reading that these are the helmets Mississippi State are wearing for their bowl game.
Re: Mike Leach hospitalized
Those are sweet. The Pirate will be proud and happy with those. That is one bowl game I don’t want to miss
