MSU Bulldog family, college football community mourn the death of Coach Mike Leach
By Sid Salter and Brandon Langlois MSU President Mark Keenum with Head Coach Mike Leach on his first day on the job in 2020.
My heart goes out to Coach Leaches family and all of you guys. I think he was every other fan base's second favorite coach. Truly an original.
Knew it was coming. Still can’t believe it actually did. Prayers for his wife and children. Way too young.
Swing your sword, Coach. Mississippi State is better because of your time here.
God bless the Leach family and this coaching staff and team.

May your sails be tight
Your cork be loose
Your rum be spiced
And your compass be true............

Just sad. No other way to put it.
This freaking sucks. My heart goes out to his family, all the players, and the staff. It's all just so shocking.
Please accept deepest condolences from Gator Nation. Coach Leach was legendary. This will forever leave a hole in the heart of college football. Prayers to his family and Mississippi State.
I know he’s on his pirate ship sailing away to a better place.

Devastating. Condolences to Coach Leach's family, friends, and players as well as the Mississippi St fans. Heartbreaking news. Prayers for everyone affected. 
He was one of a kind. I am grateful we got the three years we got. RIP Coach Leach!!!!
Truly a 1 of 1. Hard to fathom that there will ever be another coach like him. Thankful he got to spend some time as our coach. Wish he could have had longer. Not that my opinion matters but he and Jackie are on my personal Mt. Rushmore of coaches at State. They chose to be here and they embraced what it means to be a Bulldog. RIP.

Damn!
Didn't want to post at all during this. Don't want to post this now. This just sucks. I hate this for his family. Hate it for all of us. Hate it for just not having a Mike Leach in the world. RIP CML.
Rest in Peace, “Captain, oh, My Captain.” We will endeavor to live “play the next play” and “do your job” for the rest of our lives. Help us, Lord , as we grieve.
Strange brew needs to put that on the sign…
I also wonder if the stadium in Tampa will let those of us going to the bowl turn the pirate ship into a shrine (flowers, etc)…
God Bless Mike Leach and his family. Grateful that he chose to be an organ donor. Fantastic example!
Never would have thought the death of somebody I had never personally met would hit so hard, yet here I sit at work trying to keep it together.
So hard to hear what was expected. I told my sons that sometimes we fans don’t know what we have until it is gone. Same in real life. Coach Leach was a national coach, see all the comments from people around the country. I am going to try to remember this and apply in my own life.
