So was it a heart attack or a stroke? Because the reports I saw said heart attack.
There‘s been different reports..
Only that stands now is that from what were hearing is he is hospice..
Unlike sports, life doesn't given anyone special treatment. Prayers to coach Leach and his family
Heart attack -> cardiac arrest —> prolonged anoxia prior to return of circulation —> hypoxic/anoxic brain injury
Bad bad situation. Funny coach. Great guy
Sounds like they just took him off life supprt. One of my favorites. He will be missed.
Poor guy. One of the few out there that stood by his guns and didn’t care about who he offended
he's gone. sad day. here's a great story about him:
very sad.
time is of the essence during events like these
every single person in America over the age of 8 should be trained in CPR & re-trained annually. would take no longer than a couple hours & we already have every resource we need.
medical professionals (RNs, PRNs, etc.) would happily volunteer a weekend day every year, and countless lives would be saved
will never happen, though, because............. [reasons]
everybody reading this should consider what I'm saying for your families. seriously.
What a gift. Can you imagine what he'll say to Saint Peter when he arrives up there?he's gone. sad day. here's a great story about him:

One of those guys who started at the bottom and worked his way up. Iowa Wesleyan- if you’ve been there you would agree. Worked w the mad scientist Hal Mumme and went on to just have a fantastic career. One of the most unique, genuine coaches you would ever meet.
One of the few college football coaches who never played college football.
The best story is when, as an Oklahoma asst, he came up with a fake play sheet and left it on the field after warmups for Texas to find

Now Snyder says he was wrong and Leach isn’t dead yet.
I'm guessing Snyder has accurate info but it just hasn't been released. I hope that I'm wrong and that he's recovering. Leach is one of my favorite coaches in any sport ever. The rare combo of a coach who was actually as entertaining to listen to off the field while always having an entertaining team to watch.
This sucks. RIP Mike. You were always gracious with your time to the Nebraska sports community
If he was pulseless for 10-15 minutes without effective CPR it is better that he just passes. Do yourself and others a favor and learn basic CPR -most local hospitals have lessons.
If he’s on hospice care he’ll be dead likely within 72 hours.
Read earlier today he had zero chance of survival. They were keeping him on life support until they family arrived.
Hell of a coach. Seemed like a great guy
I had a good friend whose heart stopped and his wife heard him gurgle. She woke up to find him blue and unresponsive. Fortunately his 30 year old son was there working in their basement. He ran upstairs, threw his 230 lb dad on the floor and started CPR. When the EMTs got there they tried shocking his heart twice trying to restart it. Finally on the 4th attempt at the hospital they got his heart going. He was unconscious so he didn’t get to enjoy the 30 minute chopper ride to a heart hospital where they cooled his body temp I think to 92F for 2-3 days before they warmed him and woke him up. I visited him the day after they woke him up and you would never have known his brain had been without oxygen. He lived another 10 years to see and enjoy 4 grandkids before complications from COVID got him.

Thankfully is son was there to perform CPR to assist with oxygen to the brain. As I was told from a Dr friend the brain ceases to function in as little as 10 minutes with no oxygen.
