Coach Leach had a medical issue (major heart attack being spread on Twitter) at home and is in bad shape. The school has already chosen an interim coach to fill in while he's out. Some reports are that he needs a "miracle." Coaching ability aside, he has always been a great personality in college football as well as good for the game and I pray he makes a full recovery. 

 

 

 

While Twitter and Reddit aren't great sources of information, it appears things are looking grim.  Hope Coach Leach can make the miraculous recovery because he's an absolute treasure in the College Football world.  Hoping and praying for the best!

Article I came across a few hours ago stated Coach Leach had been taken off life support.   Just terrible to hear and a reminder of how quickly things can turn.  

Lots of rumors right now, none of them good.

No. 

Rest Easy Coach.

 

Very sad and sorry to hear, one of the true characters in college football.

Absolutely stinks.  Used to look for his pressers online almost every Sunday.  Just terrible.  

Very sad to hear.  Give your love ones a call and make this holiday season special.  You never know if it might be your last with them.

Without a doubt my favorite college football coach.  Stoops has done an incredible job at UK but I remember being bummed we didn't get Leach as our head coach.  RIP.

Earlier this year when he went and folded up the chairs the WR's sat in when they came off the field because they "didn't deserve to sit down", was one of the funniest things I've ever seen a coach do.

No more "fat little girl friend" comments in a press conference. Fine coach and a funny, funny guy. Rest in peace Coach! The game will not be the same without you.

One of the great offensive minds and a singular character. RIP, Coach.
