Read that he's not resigning til the end of the year though.

 

Was diagnosed with lymphoma in May.

God bless Coach Pinkel. He was a disciple of Don James at the University of Washington, had a successful run at Toledo, then brought Mizzou football to the fore after three decades of wandering in the wilderness.

 

Best bets to replace him, if AD Mack Rhoades doesn't stay in-house, probably Tom Herman at Houston and Justin Fuente at Memphis.

Man, cancer sucks. If someone ever finds the cure, he/she should get a billion dollars.

So sorry to hear this. Thanks for that plane ride Coach Stoops. Get well coach.

Plane ride?

Great Coach , Class act. My thoughts and prayers are with Pinkel and his family and friends. Cancer is such an Awful, relentless disease.

 

 

I can't help but think .... this really puts the Mizzou players and students whining, crying and complaining. .... A group of Crying, Liberal troublemaker students wanting to make a point like they own the place .....Absolute ZERO Importance.

"THIS.... Cancer is Life and Death, not some students bull crap troubles."

due to cancer that was found in May.

 

Any replacement guesses?
