MSU calling it a personal health episode.  I’m not on Twitter but a friend is and he said it isn’t sounding good there.  Take it fwiw.

Here is the full statement from Mississippi State:

“Mississippi State University Head Football Coach Mike Leach had a personal health issue at his home earlier today (Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022). That issue led to a decision to transfer Coach Leach to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson by ambulance. That is the extent of information that MSU has available regarding Coach Leach’s condition, and the university will make no other comment at this time other than to say that the thoughts and prayers of the university are with Mike and Sharon and their family.

“MSU President Mark E. Keenum and Interim MSU Athletics Director Bracky Brett have conferred, and the decision has been made to place MSU Defensive Coordinator Zach Arnett in charge of the MSU football team until Coach Leach returns. Practice for the ReliaQuest Bowl game and recruiting operations will continue.”
"Courage; Generosity; Fairness; Honor; In these are the true awards of manly sport."

Reports on MS St message boards are as bad as it gets. 

Worse than really, really, bad.  Hopefully, not true.

He is a great coach, and seemingly a better man.  All prayers to him.  He is a blessing to the entire college football community

A massive stroke can cause that obviously.

Very sad.  

There's not a good time for that but right before Christmas seems like an extra punch in the gut for his family and friends.
