It seems like daily we have someone in the news who dies suddenly from heart related issues by otherwise healthy people. Two soccer reporters at the World Cup and now a prominent College Football Coach, makes you wonder if we will ever get a true and fair study of the negative impact of the vaccines. Prayers go out to his family and the MSU faithful.
Heart disease used to be #1 killer. I don’t know about now. It’s the sharp increase of heart related problems that are the concern.
“From an Auburn fan . . . good man, good coach. He was a credit to the SEC. His memory will live on strong.”
Good words.
A great coach is priceless and leaves a powerful durable impression on his players. To this day, some 66 years later, I still treasure the memory and lessons learned from my high school coach who as time went by became a renowned national sports figure. Like great generals and admirals.
probably micro clotting from the vaxx....he was only 61.....
I will say that he never appeared to be healthy....he always carried extra weight....throw in the stress of coaching....
Possible.
I looked up a photo, he was definitely not in shape though.
Either way, no comfort for his loved ones.
Very well said. Thank you.
I guess you didn’t read my last reply. A head coach at an SEC school does not just sit down and go to work. The school takes out a life insurance policy and the insurers test him in a number of ways to see what risk he is to have a major medical event.
Had that happened (I can only presume it did), the doctor would have told him he’s too obese, he needs to change some things about his lifestyle and a cardiogram or a sonogram probably revealed he was not in great shape with his heart. So, no, they *ignored* whatever warning signs he had and gave him a very stressful job BEFORE he suffered the massive heart attack which, in retrospect, was predictable.
ESPN showed him on the sidelines of what turned out to be his last game and he did not look right to me. He looked pale and gaunt. And I’d seen him at Texas Tech when he coached there.
This is very typical of Type A men to not take seriously the warning signs until it’s too late and, unfortunately for him, too late came all in one day.
You don’t know that doctors ignored anything
Stubborn men tend to ignore anything a doctor tells him
I agree. The doctors probably told him he was in bad shape. The "they" I am referring to above are the people around Leach at Mississippi State who either didn't monitor his health or Leach ignored their advice.
Got it
I haven’t been on FR for awhile, so I missed out on the thread.
As a Gator, Coach Leach was my favorite college coach, and this has hit me as hard as any recent passing. I still really haven’t come to terms with it.
