Missouri coach Gary Pinkel resigning at season end

November 13, 2015 Alex Haddon

Missouri coach Gary Pinkel will step down at the end of the season after being diagnosed with lymphoma.

He will resign on December 31, 2015 or when a new coach is in place, the school announced.

Pinkel, who took over the Tigers in 2002, guided Missouri to two straight SEC Championship Games in 2013 and 2014, and has seen 26 Mizzou players drafted, including Sheldon Richardson, Jeremy Maclin, Shane Ray, Blaine Gabbert, Markus Golden and Aldon Smith.

He’s the winningest coach in Missouri history with nearly 120 wins.

This season has been a tough one on the field for his Missouri side, which has been hampered by the suspension of starting quarterback Maty Mauk and some awful offense.
