Mississippi State’s Leach to participate in listening sessions following controversial social media post

Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen said Mike Leach will participate in listening sessions with student and community groups after an insensitive tweet he sent last week. Cohen said Leach will also tour the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. Leach, who was hired as Mississippi State’s coach in January, tweeted an image of a noose last week. Leach has apologized and Cohen said he is moving past it.
