Coach Leach of Mississippi sustained a heart attack at his Starkville home on Sunday and is in poor shape. According to reports, the 61-year-old could have had seizures and may have sustained brain damage as a result.

Cale's daughter Cat wrote in response to Venables on Monday, 'The truth has always come to fruition,' he said. 'It's just a matter of time.' During a film session with players, Cat was responding to a Venables remark accusing her father of consistently using a 'racially charged' word repeatedly. Cale resigned in a social media post the day before, remarking that he used "shameful" words with players but not intentional; it wasn't even intentional."
