Hope Leach is ok and has a speedy recovery.

[Tough Dawg]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[Commercecomet24]

Just heard. Praying for complete and speedy recovery! Not sure exactly what happened just heard medical emergency and headed to umc.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Arnett is HC for the time being

[calidawg]

Guess the rumors were true

[MetEdDawg]

Is this complications from what he was dealing with earlier in the year?

[Quaoarsking]

Guess the rumors were true

What the fuсk is wrong with you?

[DEDawg]

What the fuсk is wrong with you?

Where have you been? It has been rumored all season he has been dealing with complications from pneumonia

[Quaoarsking]

Where have you been? It has been rumored all season he has been dealing with complications from pneumonia

Obviously we're all aware of the "rumors," but this is not the time or place to gloat about how "rumors were true," and even so the "rumor" is that he would be stepping down, and nothing of the sort has been said about that.

Uh I dont think anyone was gloating. Calm down. Everyone hopes he is okay and a speedy recovery

[RisperDawg]

Where have you been? It has been rumored all season he has been dealing with complications from pneumonia

We're not in the dark, just respectful. We have no information from this post or the article to lead us to such a dogmatic response from calidawg.

[msu15]

What the fuсk is wrong with you?

Man that question is better served being asked to you. You have a serious mental problem.

[BeardoMSU]

Anyone know what happened?

[Pancho]

No room for a response like calidawg just did.

[RocketDawg]

So he was heading to UMC. Was he already in Jackson? If he was in Starkville, seems like it was serious enough that Starkville couldn't handle it so had to be taken to a larger, more capable hospital.

[Pancho]

Man that question is better served being asked to you. You have a serious mental problem.

I can make a better argument that calidawg has the mental issue. Do you suppose we should all be weak, meek and mild and have folks say such things about msu and leach in general?

[parabrave]

So he was heading to UMC. Was he already in Jackson? If he was in Starkville, seems like it was serious enough that Starkville couldn't handle it so had to be taken to a larger, more capable hospital.

Said he was being Airlifted to UMMC. Thats not for a chest cold.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Starkville's dumbest thing they have done, and this includes some other doozies, is to not approving the sale of the OCH hospital to Baptist.

[calidawg]

Moral high ground warriors: I truly hope Leach is OK and the rumors of his bad health are apparently true too.

[DEDawg]

I think it?s actually ambulance which while still not good is hopefully a little better. Fingers crossed it?s just to run additional tests they can?t do locally in Stark

[DEDawg]

Did he edit his response or something? All he said that I saw was ?guess the rumors were true?. What am I missing here? Y?all are going crazy for no reason.

[Hot Rock]

Moral high ground warriors: I truly hope Leach is OK and the rumors of his bad health are apparently true too.

Dude, you wrong for this period.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hope Leach makes a quick and awesome recovery from whatever is going on. I wonder who is going to take over play calling and OC duties. I would imagine it would be Spurrier Jr. No idea though.

[Dawgface]

Damn. This is not good at all. I hope he is ok too.

[confucius say]

Last I heard he was stable at OCH awaiting transport to UMMC.

[parabrave]

I think it?s actually ambulance which while still not good is hopefully a little better. Fingers crossed it?s just to run additional tests they can?t do locally in Stark

Transported. Um doesn't Tupelo have a hospital? I know Columbus does/

[Quaoarsking]

Did he edit his response or something? All he said that I saw was ?guess the rumors were true?. What am I missing here? Y?all are going crazy for no reason.

People have been sniping back and forth for months over whether Leach is going to "resign for health reasons" at the end of the season. While it was plainly obvious that he wasn't in the greatest of health, the rumors turned out to be false, but to bring them back up in a thread about him having a serious medical issue to claim victory after all is a trashy thing to do.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Guess the rumors were true

This Hot Take is cringeworthy. I don't give a shit if it is anyone, this type of comment needs to be removed from this thread.

[DEDawg]

Transported. Um doesn't Tupelo have a hospital? I know Columbus does/

What are you talking about? Starkville has a hospital too, why would he go to Columbus or Tupelo.

He was taken to UMMC because it?s the best in the state with the most specialists. Hopefully it was to run additional tests not available locally. My point was I believe it was an ambulance, not an airlift. Which hopefully means it is not extremely serious and precautionary.

[parabrave]

What the fuсk is wrong with you?

Q check your inbox.

[confucius say]

247 said airlifted but I don't know

[Coach34]

Moral high ground warriors: I truly hope Leach is OK and the rumors of his bad health are apparently true too.

Nothing wrong with your response. Typical butthurt people mad because they spend their time trying to pile on when myself and others put out what was rumored. People gonna learn- I don't make up BS. I put out what's being talked about behind the scenes. Get over it.

Nobody wants anything bad to happen to Leach and we are all hopeful for his complete recovery. Us putting Arnette in control immediately tells me Leach has an issue he will be dealing with for a little while.

[Cooterpoot]

Jackson is further away than Jackson, but not a lot further. I'd want to go to Jackson as well. And yes, agree that going by ambulance vs by airlift is a good sign.

When this idiot defends you morally, you know you ****ed up.

It's called "not the time, not the place." A flippant comment "guess the rumors were true huh" comment immediately when your HC is sent to the hospital and is in serious condition. Called having tact and respect.

Even a "Hate to see the rumors of health problems are true and hope that Coach can recover quickly." type comment goes over better. There's just no respect for a human shown as a person.

[RocketDawg]

Tupelo has most things that you will find in Jackson. Not all, but most. Starkville does not.

Don't know if illness is considered trauma (normally think of accidents), but UMMC is a Level I Trauma Center, Tupelo Hospital is Level II.

This isn't the pneumonia he was hospitalized with during the season. Totally different issue.

[Maverick91]

Hope coach is alright!

Does anyone know anything about what it is? If it doesnt have to do with his cough and pneumonia.

^^^^This^^^^^

[Activated Alpha]

UMC is a level 3 trauma center and has more than Tupelo does.

UMC is level 1 trauma center and the only one in the state. Tupelo is a level II. Starkville ED transferred him out due to upgrade in some type of care. Now whether that is cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery, etc. I do not know. I can't remember what services Starkville lost. They could have transferred him to UMC because they were the only accepting facility at that time

[DownwardDawg]

Sure hope Leach is ok. Praying for a speedy recovery.

A friend of mine recently fell due to being weak from an illness. He's at UMC this very moment due to hitting his head on something in the bathroom. We're all just guessing at this point on Leach. Could be several things. Hope it's something he can fully recover from.

[Coach34]

This isn't the pneumonia he was hospitalized with during the season. Totally different issue.

I know. This is related to the rumor of him possibly battling CHF

[DownwardDawg]

I know. This is related to the rumor of him possibly battling CHF

What is CHF?

I looked it up. Congestive heart failure

[viverlibre]

Jackson is further away than Jackson, but not a lot further. I'd want to go to Jackson as well. And yes, agree that going by ambulance vs by airlift is a good sign.

You don't know UMC's reputation. I'd rather go to Tupelo, St D. or Baptist.

Isn't St D. a more likely destination for a heart issue?

[RocketDawg]

What is CHF?

I looked it up. Congestive heart failure

Nah. He meant Hugh Freeze. I don't think Leach is too worried about Freeze though.

[RisperDawg]

What is CHF?

Congestive heart failure. Him constantly clearing his throat and coughing in pressers could be explained by this. Why he would be airlifted for it is another question. They can give Lasix in Starkville as well as Jackson. His trip to UMC could be related to or unrelated to this. To presume otherwise would be a leap in logic.

[Tater]

Anyone know what happened?

Scurvy****

But in all honesty no one is gonna actually know without violating HIPPA. It's all conjecture and rumors and guesses right now. Anyone pretending to know and spreading it on here is just wanting people to believe they know important people. Weird flex but ok.

[Coach34]

Nah. He meant Hugh Freeze. I don't think Leach is too worried about Freeze though.

No he didnt mean Hugh Freeze

[DawgFan85]

I would def go to St. D's.. Jackson Heart based there. It is where I went for quadruple bi-pass and the care they gave was amazing. My daughter works in cardiac recovery so she will take good care of you!

[RocketDawg]

You don't know UMC's reputation. I'd rather go to Tupelo, St D. or Baptist.

Isn't St D. a more likely destination for a heart issue?

You're right, I don't. It used to be very good though. But that was back when the Meridian schools were really good - a long time ago. Perhaps UMCC has changed as well.

[Goldendawg]

Yes Tupelo is home to the largest rural healthcare system (North MS Health Services) in the country (6,000+ employees).

[Really Clark?]

Prayers to Mike and Sharon and family

[Activated Alpha]

No need to feel embarrassed. Now just because he was transferred via ambulance doesn't mean it wasn't critical. Most air services can't fly in weather like this. Aircare can fly in cloudy weather with IFR operations, but not sure if they would have a green light if it's bad outside. I don't know the weather up there. Columbus can handle STEMIs and other upgraded cardiology care, but like I said not sure if Starkville can. UMMC just might have been the only accepting facility or partnered with OCH.

[662dawg]

I highly doubt this is over the same issue that people on here claimed he would retire from. I can't recall anyone ever giving a specific reason so it'll be easy for them to claim they were "right".

The bigger issue is let's pray he recovers & comes back 100%. You have 10 plus games to win next year, Coach. But first he must get his health in order as it's the most important issue & way more important than a game. Prayers to the Leach family.

[TorpedoIPA]

Praying he is okay.

Leach has had such an great influence on college football. Got a law degree from Pepperdine but decided to pursue coaching and had to live in a trailer making a minimal coaching salary while his wife had to work. Thought outside the box. How many current coaches have their jobs as a result of their association with him ?

A great one in my humble opinion.

[viverlibre]

Some of you ladies need to get the sand out of your vags. It was an edgy, possibly inappropriate comment, but not near enough a big deal to get bent out of shape over.

They're saying Tupelo was full. Also Oktibbeha County is very small.

It's embarrassing because I used to work at UMC. I always knew we were the highest level whatever it was. LOL.

Bad any time but just breaks my heart happening near Christmas. Supposed to be a happy festive time, and then having to deal with this. What also bothers me so bad about the Walker family with their son at Starkville Academy.

If at all possible, enjoy this time of year. Visit family and put aside old quarrels. You never know which Christmas will be your last with somebody. Or their last with you. The heaviest load you can carry is regret.

Yes they do as does Tupelo. The reason tupelo isn't level one, they don't do peds trauma (they go to Le Bonheur). This doesn't seem to be a trauma situation either way.
Seems Tupelo was full, they do have some of the best cardiologists in the county somehow.
Report from the school says ambulance. This could be because the weather or things changed and he needed to be airlifted after the report was released, etc
Either way, he and his family needs a lot of prayers.

Adult trauma and Peds trauma have nothing to do with each other. Tupelo not having a peds trauma unit has nothing to do with them not being a level 1 trauma center. Regional One in Memphis is a level 1 and they dont have peds trauma.

[Vandownbytheriver]

My oldest son has been airlifted twice. Once was for a life threatening congenital heart defect, the second time was because of complications from pneumonia and safety precautions because of his underlying conditions. Depending on the individual situations, it can be anywhere from life threatening to precautions if there are underlying conditions. Basically, until something is released from Leach or the University, it's best not to speculate.

I have earnestly prayed for Coach Mike Leach to leave the hospital on his feet and swinging his sword! I can?t imagine a world without a Coach Mike Leach in it. I?ll continue to pray for him as I know all of you will too. Please don?t let sports get in the way from everybody being focused in on praying for Coach Leach and seeing him on the field for many more years!!!

[confucius say]

I have heard there is some concern that the underlying event caused a lack of oxygen to the brain for a prolonged time.
That is not confirmed and is only a rumor.

[SpaceBully]

Don't think it was a trauma type incident (like an accident). FWIW.....The best trauma unit in the area is the Elvis Pressley Trauma Center in Memphis. If one can't survive there, then you weren't going to survive anywhere. It's a Level 1 trauma unit and home to some of the best cardiologists in the world. The next closest one is probably Vanderbilt in Nashville. I'm sure the local doctors felt sending him to UMC was appropriate for whatever his issue was. Hope he has a speedy recovery and gets back on the MSU football field as soon as possible.

Thanks for the updates guys.


Prayers up for Coach Mike Leach and his family.

[Tough Dawg]

Keep fighting Coach! Your story at MSU ain?t over with!

[662dawg]

I'm being told that it's a really bad situation for the family. That's as much as I'll say for now. Like Bucky said, God has a plan. Miracles happen everyday so please keep praying. They are needed at this time.

[chef dixon]

If he had a major heart event, question is how much damage did it cause before he got help. Prayers for him and family. I'm sure we will know more in the next 24 hours.

[TrapGame]

Damn. This sucks. Prayers for Coach and his family.

From what I?ve been told the cath lab hasn?t been called in at UMC. Might be something different

Hmmm...that's interesting. They may just be trying to get him stable and maybe go straight to a CABG? Then again a LOT of speculation going on right now.

How do we know it's cardiac? I'm not familiar with UMC's capabilities but how do we know it's not an interventional rads or neuro situation?

No clue. Could be anything. UMC is capable of just about everything

Yeah not many people know, performed world's first heart transplant.

Short answer- we don't know.

Yeah, to be clear, I'm not throwing shade at UMC. It's a good hospital; I've had family members go there. The major academic center in any given state usually has it all, but i didn't train there, so i figured I'd defer to those who know.

[DawgFan85]

Hearing it is COVID and he had to be intubated. Please pray for Coach Leach and his family.

UMC did the first one with a chimp heart. (I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall with those discussions!)

[DawgFan85]

Sorry, I heard incorrectly but worse. He had coded. Pray for family.

[662dawg]

Hearing it is COVID and he had to be intubated. Please pray for Coach Leach and his family.

It is not Covid. They may very well lie and say it is like they've done with so many the past two years bc of a "test". But it is not.

[KOdawg1]

Hearing it is COVID and he had to be intubated. Please pray for Coach Leach and his family.

It's not Covid. He was perfectly fine last night.

[Activated Alpha]

Bucky and C34 are correct. Life threatening cardiac emergency that is very touch and go right now. Keep his family in your prayers

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

He was at a Christmas party last night yucking it up. It ain?t Covid.

[Commercecomet24]

Bucky and C34 are correct. Life threatening cardiac emergency that is very touch and go right now. Keep his family in your prayers

Unfortunately this is true! Sad sad!

[JohnConnor]

You don't resuscitate someone a few times over Covid.

[Dawgface]

What a shame. I've received similar texts from people in the 'know' and it's the same info. Miracle if he makes it.

[Cloak]

Dammit man.

[confucius say]

Sorry, I heard incorrectly but worse. He had coded. Pray for family.

More than once.
Being unresponsive for a long time without oxygen to the brain too, apparently

[662dawg]

[DEDawg]

[BeardoMSU]

Fuuuuuuck. Damn this is horrible.

[662dawg]

Unfortunately this is true! Sad sad!

Agree. Like I said the family is in a tough situation right now & may have already made some tough decisions that hasn't been reported yet. We need prayers for a miracle

[RagMag]

hearing he has passed.

[BeardoMSU]

hearing he has passed.

**** dude..

[Bothrops]

horrible. were all praying for you coach, hoping for a miracle


hearing he has passed.

Oh man I hope this isn't true

[msstate7]

61-years-old, man, this is so unfortunate.

[SailingDawg]

61-years-old, man, this is so unfortunate.

My daughter is a cardiac ICU nurse and she said guys in their 50s and 60s come in after a massive heart attack all the time.

[MoreCowbell]

This is nuts. Just feel an overwhelming sadness for his family and the msu family. In shock.

[Todd4State]

They do but not all heart attacks are created equal.

[Bdawg]

Any more word???? Say it ain’t so!!! Many prayers!!! Is he still with us?

[Turfdawg67]

Any more word???? Say it ain’t so!!! Many prayers!!! Is he still with us?

I hope so! Praying for you coach!

[Bothrops]

Any more word???? Say it ain’t so!!! Many prayers!!! Is he still with us?

As of about 45 mins ago he was. Keep praying

[Bdawg]

As of about 45 mins ago he was. Keep praying

Haven’t stopped!! I can’t sleep! Lord, I just pray this is not his time and he has a full recovery!!

[msu15]

Prayers up for the Pirate

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Pirate. I would much like to see you on the sideline again. Let?s go Leach. Swing your sword.

[ZedFedder]

I would think it’s unlikely after today that Leach ever coaches again. I just hope he pulls through and can go enjoy Key West.

[Dawg_Lover]

Still 🙏, but just wanted to say if this is a major cardiac event, a close friend went through the same thing about 12 years ago, and is doing fine today.

At the time, he was a year or two older than Coach Leach, and had already been dealing with a debilitating heart condition for several years. Then one day he had the widow maker. He coded multiple times, and was so unstable, they would not attempt to transport him to a better equipped hospital. Finally the next day they decided he was going to die anyway, so they went ahead and transported him, giving him maybe a 25% chance of surviving the trip. Once there, I think it was the next day before surgery. It was a long recovery, but he is alive and doing well today. Not many during those first few days were positive he had much of a chance. We were all praying and hopeful, even though things looked dire.

This is all to say things can turn around when you least expect it. As long as there is life, and God is in Heaven, there is hope.

Run that rally flag up high on that pirate ship, Coach! We are all cheering you to victory!!

[Cowbell]

Just got off the road and got a chance to catch up. Praying now for him and his family. This is a shocker.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dawg_Lover again.

[Extendedcab]

God speed coach, we are all praying you have a full recovery!!

[DownwardDawg]

God speed coach, we are all praying you have a full recovery!!

Amen. This is sad news. I hate this for his family and all his players.

[yjnkdawg]

hearing he has passed.

Saying you are hearing rumors on somebody passing and then posting on a message board is stupid and insensitive to the family. Rumors on football related items are OK, but rumors concerning a life and death situation concerning a person should not be allowed to be posted.

[Nutriaitch]

All of Tiger nation is praying for Coach Leach and the entire Bulldog family.
he is a well liked and respected man and we're all hoping for the possible outcome.

[yjnkdawg]

After I heard about this yesterday afternoon I begin to pray for CML, his family and the medical professional staff. This is a very sad time.
