This is just awful news to pass down. On Sunday, Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach suffered a serious health emergency at home. He would be rushed to the hospital and things did not look good for him.
Leach, according to the release from the school, was transported by ambulance to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson after having the issue at home. The university said it would have no further comment at this time other than to say that the “thoughts and prayers of the university are with Mike and [wife] Sharon and their family.”
It would soon be revealed that the legendary coach had tragically passed away on Monday night.
The 61-year-old was in his third head-coaching stint. He was at Texas Tech from 2000 to ’09 and Washington State from 2012 to ’19. He was the AFCA national coach of the year in 2018 at Washington State.
Prayers to his family in this devastating time.
