They’ve had two of these recently and it never got them anywhere, now it’s USC’s turn

 

Some of the comments on the local news social media posts about Stetson not winning are incredible lol

 

I will always drink the tears of Bulldogs. But for real… anyone who thinks Stetson deserved the Heisman is a lint licker.

 

laughed

 

Apparently Mike Leach is in critical condition?

 

Yeah. Sounds pretty dire.

 

Bill Snyder just tweeted that Mike Leach has passed and immediately retracted it.

 

Looks like he’s off life support now

 

It feels inevitable that the news will break, but Twitter is such a cesspool of rumors and fake news. I imagine Mississippi State or a reputable journalist will make the official announcement once his family confirms something.

But it just has me thinking, has any coach ever died while actively coaching? Nothing I can recall in my lifetime. At least not at the D1 or NFL level.

 

interesting

 

Liberty?

 

seems like auburn is the name mentioned most

 

Florida was also mentioned. Whatever gets him set up for the pros im good with.

 

florida is one of the ones, along with wisconsin and ND, just getting attached to every QB available bc the depth is so bad. seems like there's actual connections with auburn

 

Randy Walker was the head coach of Northwestern when he died in 2006.

 

Ugh

 

Interesting. I wasn’t aware of this.

 

I can't remember but I believe it was off-season. Pat Fitzgerald took over for him afterwards and carried a solid legacy for a bit.

 

Dammit man.

 

I know a lot of folks had some hard feelings towards Leach because of the Craig James stuff, I get it. But I grew to like the guy in recent years. He made Mississippi State interesting. Seems like his players, fans, and colleagues loved the dude. Sad stuff.

 

Love him or hate him, the football world just lost a giant.

I'm as anti Air Raid as they come but he had some really fun offenses over the years.

 

Leach was the man.

 

Ryan Walters to Purdue.
