Clemson Tigers fan here. I've been praying for Coach Leach and family and all who are close to him. I love listening to him talk and its fun watching him coach. Clemson Tiger boards are praying for Him, and all affected by this sad event. God Bless You all.

I really can't think of anyone else in football that could make everyone come together like this than Mike Leach. He's everything that's right about Football and we need more men like him around.

More enjoyment. Less toxicity.

You don’t want to see this happen to anyone, but he’s always seemed like one of the good guys to me. The CFB will miss him greatly.

This is all similar to how I lost my grandmother some 30 years ago. Massive heart attack, no oxygen to the brain for an extended period. EMT’s were able to revive her, but by the time I was able to get to the hospital some 4 hours later, the doctors said there was no brain activity. She was brain dead. She actually didn’t pass for another 3 days.

With her, she was almost 4 years to the day of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s when she had her heart attack. She still knew everybody, but had really started getting bad a few months before. To this day, I think God decided to call her home so we didn’t have to see the really bad side of Alzheimer’s. I think he was sparing her of it as well.

Praying for the Leach family. This won’t be easy. And thanks for letting me share. I still miss her to this day.

He went out a winner for sure.

Prayers lifted for his family. Pulling the plug is the hardest thing to do. Been there, done that.

Very sad about this - we need more people like him that march to their own drummer. Feel for his family - live each day to the fullest you never know when it’s your last.

frick.

I knew it was a long shot but I was still hoping for a miracle.

Sad story all around. I feel for his family, friends, staff, and players. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Prayers for his family. College football was better with him in it. Quite a unique character, he’ll be missed big time.

Damn this is unbelievable. Prayers to the Leach family. Kentucky fans have always had a soft spot for him and the Air Raid days when he was here.

Thankful we got to enjoy the Mike Leach experience in conference for a few years. The accusation of eating fish sandwich while sipping lemonade under the shade tree with fat girlfriends was pure gold.
