News reports indicating that he will announce today his retirement at the end of is year.
Long expected by most of us. He's been there since 1970 and is the winningest active Coach in Division I.
Great man who has done way more than just win football games.

Not stretching the truth at all. He as the most wins of any Coach coaching in Division I right now. Look at the NCAA record books.bluehenbillk wrote:Well that's stretching the truth as most of his wins are D-3....
Not that it matters. Even if you were to ask him, he would say - That's what happens when you stick around 40+ years.

I think they had to convince him to stay this year. Its going to be a tough one to go out on for him.
