He was 61 years old.<\/p>\n<p>According to the University, Leach suffered what was initially described as a &#8220;personal health issue&#8221; at his home in Starkville on Sunday, which required an airlift to the UMMC in Jackson, about 125 miles from Mississippi State. He passed away Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>Leach was in the midst of his third season at Mississippi State. Previously Leach was head coach at Texas Tech from 2000 to 2009 and at Washington State from 2012 to 2019. He was the AFCA national coach of the year in 2018 at Washington State.<\/p>\n<p>Over social media Tuesday, Leach received an outpouring of tributes and condolences to his family from current and former Patriots, most notably defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale, who played for his Washington State Cougars from 2014 to 2017.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/tanielu_ekuale\/status\/1602666159035359232?s=20&#038;t=ZehDcIcDG0Ua6WjCkYdDgg<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">RIP Mike Leach.
