'It’s a sad day for the SEC,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said while talking about the death of Mississippi State coach Mike Leach.
was born on March 18, 1960, which is a little under a year from March 9, 1961, which is the birthdate of Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach, whose death was announced on Tuesday before Pearl addressed reporters to preview Wednesday’s game against Georgia State at Neville Arena.“And, yeah, Coach Leach dying at 61 makes my family worry about me at 62,” Pearl said.
“I’d be remiss if I didn’t start off today by offering my condolences to Mississippi State Bulldog family. I offer my condolences to our athletics director John Cohen and Lee VanHorn, who worked closely with coach Leach,” Pearl said. “61 years old. Tragic. I offer my condolences to the student-athletes that are playing for him now and have played for him in the past, coaches that are there now and have worked with Mike over the years, and the entire Bulldog family.
“It’s just very sad,” Pearl said. “The message to my players today was to take advantage of the opportunities for all of us. Count your blessings. It’s a sad day for the SEC.” “My biggest worry is that I just don’t want to let people down,” Pearl said. “I just don’t want to disappoint people. That’s honestly the truth. I want to do everything I can to help my staff, in every way, to be successful. I want to help my players, in every way, to be successful. It’s just a grind. You can’t get away from that. No, it’s not in perspective. We’re not taking care of ourselves. We do own everything. There is high stress in it.
