As I write this, Coach Mike Leach is in critical condition at UMMC. The outpouring of love and respect for him is coming in from all corners of the nation — and Mississippi. Coach Leach is a Mississippi and national treasure. My heart and prayers go out to him, his family and his medical team. Today, we’re all Team Leach.
