Not much info yet. MS State put out a statement saying Leach had a "personal health issue" at home and was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Jackson, MS and sending out prayers to Coach Leach and his family. But no one is saying exactly what happened, how serious it is, etc., other than rumor and innuendo posts on Twitter that have no sources.

It's confirmed to be at least life-threatening, and those in the know are... being quite somber with their verbiage. Not a good sign.

Looking horrible. Miss State beat writer.

Horrible news. A true one of a kind man. Sounds like the dreaded widow maker heart attack.

Leach is the kind of nut job that you love rooting against. Definitely one of the times i’m rooting for him though.

 

[SonicHawk]

Just brutal.

I've always hated the guy, but I'm pulling for him. Fingers crossed he somehow pulls out of this.

Looks like Bill Snyder is confirming the awful news. RIP.

I always got a kick out of him myself. Lovably cantankerous, tell-it-like-it-is kind of guy. I found many of his soundbites hilarious. Although I do remember thinking years ago that he didn't seem all that healthy and that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't live into a ripe old age. Sadly, it has happened. RIP Coach. Gone too soon.
