Heart Attack and loss of O2 is terrible news. :(

Coach Leach's antics have been the stuff LEGENDS are made out of.
I've always loved him. You never knew where he was going when he started an interview.
I feel for his family and his players at Mississippi State.
I will pray for them.

I have someone close to the situation who told me yesterday even before it broke that it wasn't going to work out very well.

There are obvious reasons why I couldn't post that rumor here, but I still feel terrible for his family about it.

Leach has been a breath of fresh air the last couple of years.

Where ever there's BBQ, Bourbon & Football
They were waiting on family to arrive this morning so they could remove him from life support and/or donate organs. 😭

PLEASE, if you have heart issues, do not put them off. Whatever else you have going on CAN wait. Your heart cannot. Lifting his family in prayer.
I wonder were there known heart issues or was this just a complete shock?

And while I have no idea if Leach's issues were due to his own decisions, please take care of your heart even if you don't currently have issues. Exercise and diet are important not just for your health, but for those who love you (and will miss you if your lack of self care causes you to pass too soon)...

Sad to hear this. Leach is one of the all-time characters in CFB. His cameo in Friday Night Lights is classic.

A dear friend and colleague I was supposed to perform a concert with this weekend died suddenly of a brain aneurysm in her mid-40's back in October. Just another reminder that nothing is guaranteed, and to treasure each day as a gift.

could be blood clots .. went thr it last year .. was coughing for 2-3 weeks .. no dr could find it .. gave me antibiotics ... not until they did color CT did they find blood clots in lung after I was admitted to ER ...
after i collapsed they had to do surgery to burst the clots in lung...
blood clots are difficult to diagnose and smaller clots in lung can cause coughing
