Better get to sending up some positive vibes and prayers for the old pirate out in Starkville. Sounds like he's in pretty rough shape. He's always been an awesome guy for the sport and the fans that support him.

Something going on with his health? If so I hope not.

Rumor is a massive heart attack. Hope he pulls through.

Doesn’t sound or look good. Praying for him and his family. Let’s all hope and pray for the best.

My daughter goes there. Lots of rumors floating around. She heard from a classmate that he died but that is a complete rumor. No one knows his current state. But it sounds extremely serious.

Not gonna lie, when I heard Currie was out West talking to Leach after the whole Schiano thing I was very, very excited.

With the right DC, Leach would have done great things here at UT.

Prayers for the man and hope hes around for a lot of years...the SEC is just a more.fum place with him around.

Praying for Coach Leach!!

Lane Kiffin's quote just a minute ago talked about him in past tense. Maybe nothing or he already knows... damn.

National treasure! I really pulled for that guy to succeed. Puts football in context.
Unfortunately likely aneurysmal bleed Id assume based on his need for transfer and knowing capabilities of hospital in starksville.

He’s on life support waiting for family to arrive and they will remove the life support.

RIP Pirate

Hearing now that Coach Leach has indeed passed, hope this is inaccurate.

Where are you guys seeing that he died?

 

[SprocketRocket]

Leach was Heupel's coach at OK. Has he made any public statement about it?

 

[mackievol]

Not seeing anyone posting his death but forums.

 

[SGMVols]

I’ve not seen confirmation from any source I would consider “official” that he passed, FWIW
