In a statement, the Leach family said: "Mike was a giving and attentive husband, father and grandfather. He was able to participate in organ donation at UMMC as a final act of charity. We are supported and uplifted by the outpouring of love and prayers from family, friends, Mississippi State University, the hospital staff, and football fans around the world. Thank you for sharing in the joy of our beloved husband and father's life."

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Leach family.

Football is better because of him. High IQ guy that was creative enough to take something great, and improve upon it.

I enjoyed watching the product he put on the field at Texas Tech, Washington State and Mississippi State. Truly a gifted offensive mind.

Coach Leach will be sorely missed by this old rebel. RIP good pirate. May your treasure chest be full of heavenly candies without a single kernel of candy corn.
