Swing your sword, captain. Rest easy.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

So sad.  :cry:  He was one of my favorite Big XII coachs.  RIP Pirate, :Pirate Bones: and T's and P's to his family.

RIP Pirate!  Didn't like facing his teams but a ton of respect for what he was able to accomplish.  Very sad.

I was a very big fan of his. Very sorry for his family and friends. Glad for him that he died quickly and without prolonged suffering.

Have to think a lot of coaches around his age are giving retirement at an early age a lot more serious look now. Coaching at this level is enormously stressful.  Kind of crazy how good bill looks for 83 given he basically didn’t sleep for 30 years and ate one meal a day.

My impression has always been that most head coaches who reach that high of a level would rather die than retire. I’d be surprised if it changes many coaches’ perspective. They just approach life differently.

Big game Bob and Urban both retired early due to health reasons and it’s been speculated Klieman is leaning towards hanging it up around 60. We shall see, but I’m guessing a few more than usual will over the coming years.

If I was doing something I loved and it was overall a positive thing for the world (or at least not hurting anyone), I'd just keep doing it until I couldn't anymore or until I was dead.  That's a huge life "win" if you can pull that off.

Stoops is a good example of doing things right, imo. Urban is a good example of the opposite since he hasn’t been able to stay retired for more than like 1-2 years.

Urban’s wounds are self inflicted because he’s a total psycho.

Well crap. Out of sight out of mind I guess. Ok then, the original point stands. These guys don’t know what to do besides coach.

Agreed. Can't actually be that much work compared to coaching at OU.
