“EMTs used a defibrillator machine and delivered multiple shocks to restore normal heart rhythm,” the newspaper reported. “It appears, according to sources, that Leach may have suffered seizures with the possibility of brain damage. Sources said the situation is dire.”
Word of the coach’s condition has stunned college football players and fans.
“Coach Leach is a fighter, and he is battling,” university spokesman Sid Salter told television station WLBT.

Coach Leach garnered national acclaim for his hilarious and witty responses to questions about football, marriage and even the taste of coffee.
“Coffee tastes terrible anyway,” the coach once said. “Don’t put anything into it to obstruct the harsh, bitter taste.”
He also waxed poetically about Halloween candy and was more than willing to provide marriage advice to sports reporters.
Please pray for Coach Leach.
