Jumbo Package: Mike Leach hospitalized, CFB world expresses love and concern

Happy Monday, everyone. The college football world got some awful news last night. Mike Leach was life flighted from his home after a sudden, undisclosed medical event and all indications are that it is a very serious situation.

Leach, in his third season as Mississippi State’s coach, told ESPN after the regular season concluded that he struggled with pneumonia during the season but that he was feeling better.

Mississippi State president Mark Keenum and athletic director Bracky Brett decided to place defensive coordinator Zach Arnett in charge of the football program until Leach returns.
