🏈 Mike Leach, passes away at 61 - Report: MSU to name Zach Arnett new HC

Just glancing through my email and a guy I know in Starkville tells me he's hearing Leach in on a ventilator. That's been a death sentence for a lot of people recently.

Heard that from a few places since yesterday afternoon. Ventilators have been death sentences for many due to the fact that they are often in such short supply that you often don't get one until it is way late in the game. The other reason is because so many on them have bad respiratory issues already by the time they get one. With the reports of him battling pneumonia this year, that does make it seem like he is on the bad side of that equation.
 
This update clarifies the situation and confirms some of the rumors (also debunks some). Still not good news though... reading between the lines, you can see what is going on if you've ever had to deal with it. Just really sad and I hate it.

Unfortunately it’s not good news at all. I believe based on that article the family is going to have to make a decision at some point.

This sucks
 
Nice gesture from TTU.

    I wish I had better news, but I’m told UMMC has transitioned into comfort care measures for Coach Mike Leach. It’s essentially hospice care at this point.
    I’m told he’s been largely if not totally nonresponsive since the cardiac event yesterday morning.
    It appears to simply be a matter of time now. It all seems so unfair. Life is fleeting. Tell those you love who much you love them. Forgive, forgive, forgive.
    We will not be working to break the final story. We will respect the family’s timing on all of that. Yes, we have a story ready to roll, but we will now await the official and unfortunate word from the University.
    I can’t believe we’re even having these discussions. It’s so surreal. He isn’t just our football coach. He’s Mike Leach, a national treasure. I’m honored to say he was our coach for three seasons. It’s also nice to remember that he’s going out a winner.
    Please remember his family, our coaches and players in your thoughts and prayers.
    I love you all and Hail State!

I was afraid this was going to be the outcome yesterday
 
Just received an update from friend who is a big State supporter. Mike Leach has been moved to into comfort care. He has been largely unresponsive since yesterday. Looks like it is just a matter of time.
Hate to hear that, always liked his press conferences. Prayers to his family and the MSU family and players. HAIL STATE to the Pirate.
