Mike Leach passes away at 61

Local paper in Mississippi is saying it was a massive heart attack - not good at all. I always liked him - very funny and didn't take himself too seriously. Best Wishes.
Some of his press conferences were great- whether he was upset at his team’s performance or just going off on funny tangents with the reporters in the room.
 
Said he was recovering from pneumonia and had consistent cough and congestion. Then suddenly almost died. Very similar to the soccer reporter that died at the World Cup.

I'll probably get grief for this, but this is the vaccines until proven otherwise. So sad for him, and his family.
...and deserved grief it would be.

Whatever your views are on the safety of vaccines, you have precisely zero insight into his particular medical situation. Moreover, heart attacks and strokes have actually been around for quite a while, and particularly among type A types, rendering your putative presumption here just downright silly.

More likely he had Covid.
He acknowledged a bout with pneumonia late in the season that was causing a persistent cough, but it was unclear whether his recent illness was related to this latest ailment.

Upvoted for using 'putative' in comment.

The SATs are strong in this one.
 
Prayers to Coach Leach & Family. I truly respect coaches and what they have to go through, especially today with NIL, recruiting, and transfers . The pressure must be enormous .
Let alone the necessity in his case of having to suffer fools gladly
 
My money says the side doing the censoring is usually wrong.
Who’s censoring. We’re doing the opposite - As the late justice scalia once quipped , “in the free marketplace of ideas, bad ideas merit a good conk on the head”
 
Always felt bad for coaches wives . Never home, always on phone, grumpy as hell after losses. Tough life
Don't forget sitting in the bleachers while fans say the most vile things about your husband....
My wife played hostess to about two dozen people after every game for 13 seasons (asst. coaches, wives/girlfriends and school administrators etc. Then I'd vanish early Sunday morning to pick up game films and break them down, killing a large part of the day. It was a way of life. Looking back, I don't think I ever thanked her.
 
As a poster said above a National Treasure. One of my favorites of all time. His play call sheet was often written on a napkin.
I remember listening to ESPN years ago when he was at Texas Tech and he told the interviewer to hold on then you could hear him ordering two double cheeseburgers at a McDonald’s drive through then continues the interview.

Not necessarily. You might be correct, but the OP might be correct as well.
