Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3736408, member: 6485"] I am sorry to hear this. Mitchell and I are close to the same age. Fun fact: his hometown is the same on as long time Ole Miss Coach Van Chancellor, about 30 miles south of Starkville. Also both have their bachelor degrees from Mississippi State. Mitchell and I were in school there around the same time but our paths never crossed. He's done a terrific job at Kentucky and I'm sorry his health has declined to a point where this was necessary. Rather than take a medical leave of absence this year, which wouldn't be out of the ordinary, he chose to retire so I worry his illness is much more serious than we even originally read about. I hope he gets well soon and is able to come back and coach again, even if it's not at the SEC D1 level. Elzy has a lot to work with and if she does well is probably a lock for the permanent job.
