Prayers for Mike Leach

[Sammy]

Didn't realize he was so young....I referred to him in an earlier post as Tim, of course I know he is Mike....RIP, Coach...

I didn't either. I first knew him when he first started coaching at Washington State and I thought he was 60 then. My dad died at 61 just like Mike. Way way too young.

This is really sad. He was hilarious and ran a great Texas Tech program. Always just nice and funny. Coaching in college now is a 365 stress of coaching and recruiting. Sadly we will probably see this more

A gut punch. A true original. I really wanted to see him coach an SEC team for 10 years. See what he could do with that type of talent. So sad. We all lost a good one. May he RIP and God provide healing to his loved ones.

Loved that guy. Made football fun.

Terrible news. RiP

Awful news
The Pirate was an original.
RIP

There's never been a year with so many sudden deaths via stroke or blood clots
Even had one at the World Cup the other day....dude was half Leache's age. Crazy
I know personally 3 people in the last 6 months....none the previous 10 years

The world is left a little less interesting today.

Always liked that guy. Interesting story. Not your typical football coach. And NEVER afraid to think outside-the-box. RIP Coach and Family.
