Beat me to it, just saw it. Not health reasons, knows the campus is falling apart and recruits will not come now.

Honestly, if I was coaching out there I would resign for health reasons also. A lot of heart burn and acid reflux from the thought of having to deal with the crap going on there for one more day.

Who? Coaching where?

The guy has cancer!! I'm not sure what constitutes health reasons to you guys, but I would think cancer would

This. He was diagnosed in May. New blood tests a couple weeks ago demand for more treatment than coaching a college football team will easily allow.

Thoughts and prayers with Pinkel and his family. Cancer is a BITCH!!

 

[Barnabus Stinson]

As I said above, my post would be insensitive if he was actually sick. The original story did not contain a diagnosis. I was not aware he had lymphoma and I apologize for my earlier post.

My prayers will be with him and his family.

Please delete my earlier post.

What post?

Not gonna lie, with how the stuff at Mizzou has played out, first thought that crossed my mind was he was impacted in all of this. But it seems that's not the case.

Well, I owe apologies for making light of it earlier. F Cancer. Hope he beats it into submission.

He's a pretty darn good coach in my mind. Won 2 SEC East titles in their first 3 years in the conference. Right? Not bad at all in what is arguably the best conference in football. His timing was good, but victories in the SEC don't just fall in your lap.

Meanwhile Sumlin has gotten most of the attention AJ C's the 2 schools joined... And what has he won? Nothing... Well, except a big contract extension thanks to Johnny M.

Man Saban is about to be the winningest active coach in football faster and faster. Beamer (236) and Spurrier (228) retiring. He's currently tied at 190 with Snyder and Pinkel. He was already most likely to surpass Snyder and Pinkel this year, but now Pinkel is retiring and you have to think Snyder is soon as well.

He's about to hit 100 wins at Bama if we beat State tomorrow as well.

My prayers go out to him and his family.

F Cancer, get well soon to what I think is a class guy in the coaching profession.
