Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach had a massive heart attack on Sunday in Starkville and was transferred to University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, where he is still being cared for on Monday.

According to multiple sources, Leach, 61, collapsed at his home in Starkville but did not receive medical attention for between 10 to 15 minutes. EMTs used a defibrillator machine and delivered multiple shocks to restore normal heart rhythm.

Leach, who is in his third season as the Bulldogs' head football coach, was at practice with the team Saturday as Mississippi State was preparing to play Illinois on Jan. 2 in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

With Leach hospitalized, defensive coordinator Zach Arnett has been put in charge of the football program.

Leach is in his third head-coaching stint. He was at Texas Tech from 2000 to '09 and at Washington State from 2012 to '19. He was the AFCA national Coach of the Year in 2018.
