Mike Leach Lung Problem? UPDATE with link to example

I watched a long form interview with him earlier this year with Bar Stool (I think) and the whole time he was coughing and clearing his throat and sounded like he was drowning in mucus in his lungs, I figured he was just under the weather but toughed it out and did the interview anyway.

Then today I watch his post game presser, months later from the first interview I watched, and it's the same.

He has to clear his throat after every sentence and drink water. And he has to stop his sentences to cough, very pflemmy pneumonia type coughs.

I googled it to see if it's some chronic condition and don't see anything relevant in the search results.

Is he ok?
