Didn’t he get in trouble again for slapping a player? It wouldn’t be a stretch for him to have done it again...and then just resigned. Personally, I think he’s a great coach because he abhors the press...and shows it.

My daughter just called us with this news as well. Sad to see him go - despite what anyone says about him, the man encouraged his players to graduate.

Now we get to watch his incredibly HOT son coach.

Knight resigning like this makes me think it must be for health reasons. Quit in the middle of the season? Very un-Knight like.....

He’s gay and has been having an affair with Richard Simmons.

That is shocking. Never knew Simmons was gay.

I suspect it is a health matter. It is my understanding he really struggled for weeks not feeling well just a while back. OTOH, if he messed up, goodness knows in today’s world we will know about it sooner rather than later.
Either way, I liked the ol boy. America needs more like him.

That 900th win was a sweet one too - beating the Aggies. He ended with 902 wins.
