People are speculating it's a heart attack or a stroke.

Some dick updated his wikipedia to say "was the coach." What kind of tool rushes over there to update that.

 

[bigbailes]

Sounds like he had a pretty big heart attack! Prayers for TSO … Go Cougs!

 

[wizenheimer]

reported to be a massive heart attack....in critical condition

No disrespect, is there some significance to this coach?

Just saw a thread about an NBA Hall of Famer who passed and it’s on the OT page for some reason.

He had a good run at Wazzu. Leach is a well known college football coach.

Well, Mike Leach is a current coach in the sport he coaches in, and also used to coach in the region.

Not saying it shouldn't be in the OT section (it should be), but I am willing to bet that the vast majority of us never saw Paul Silas play, and I would bet there's a majority who don't really know who he is. The guy retired almost 43 years ago.

I recall Paul Silas. Then again, I’m one of the old farts.

It's official.

Rest in peace. Ugh. My best to everyone affected. Just sucks.

Reading this, and having seen the post above which said:



I'm a terrible person thinking how fitting it is that a man obsessed with pirates will soon be...

Nah, I can't finish it.

RIP Mike Leach. Incredible innovator and entertainer.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I didn't agree with his politics but he was the kind of crazy outspoken person that this world neeeds more of.

 

[Hoopguru]

RIP Coach!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Sucks

 

[Chris Craig]

RIP

 

[Natebishop3]

So sad man.

 

[MickZagger]

I always thought he was hilarious. His teams were fun to watch. He had a good 60 minutes segment about him several years ago.

Crazy to lose a guy like that in the middle of his career.

 

[bigbailes]

A man that had a million stories and things to point to that set him apart from the rest, this might be my favorite of Leach duping Texas into a fake script of plays before the 99 OU/Tex game!

the fun starts about 50 seconds in...

Was he the coach that refused to get vaccinated?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Was he the coach that refused to get vaccinated?

I think that was the coach they replaced him with after he left for Mississippi state..

 

[bigbailes]

Was he the coach that refused to get vaccinated?

No ... that was Nick Rolovich

Here is a really good story about him; you can see what a character he was: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/12/15/mike-leach-key-west/
