    People are speculating it's a heart attack or a stroke.

    Some dick updated his wikipedia to say "was the coach." What kind of tool rushes over there to update that.

    Sounds like he had a pretty big heart attack! Prayers for TSO … Go Cougs!

    No disrespect, is there some significance to this coach?

    Just saw a thread about an NBA Hall of Famer who passed and it’s on the OT page for some reason.

    He had a good run at Wazzu. Leach is a well known college football coach.

    Well, Mike Leach is a current coach in the sport he coaches in, and also used to coach in the region.

    Not saying it shouldn't be in the OT section (it should be), but I am willing to bet that the vast majority of us never saw Paul Silas play, and I would bet there's a majority who don't really know who he is. The guy retired almost 43 years ago.

    I recall Paul Silas. Then again, I’m one of the old farts.

    Reading this, and having seen the post above which said:

    I'm a terrible person thinking how fitting it is that a man obsessed with pirates will soon be...

    Nah, I can't finish it.

    I didn't agree with his politics but he was the kind of crazy outspoken person that this world neeeds more of.

    I always thought he was hilarious. His teams were fun to watch. He had a good 60 minutes segment about him several years ago.

    Crazy to lose a guy like that in the middle of his career.
