As a coach, he is someone I look up to... he is off kilt, he says what he wants but has reasoning behind it... imo he is a very logical person when he talks. He speaks with purpose. Man I pray for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were assumptions based on the reports of brain damage. Seems like a pretty dire situation. I don't know a lot about him, but he's definitely a character.

It’s always a crapshoot. Just because they’ve been a HC doesn’t mean they’ll work out. I’ll take my chances on a young, energetic, guy who’s rose through the ranks pretty fast. Should be able to recruit well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kids and his family have to be devastated. One of my really good friends brother-in-law who was a former Indiana, Tennessee and I believe a Michigan assistant coach had a massive stroke a year ago right after retiring. He is struggling mightily and is currently in assisted living getting rehab.

Someone said heart attack. Either way, devastating. My MIL just got moved yesterday into an intensive rehab. She's had a rough road, starting with an aneurism and then a stroke during brain surgery to remove an arterial malformation. She's walking with assistance, brushing her teeth. Talking ok, can still read. Definitely praying for those hurting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
