One of the really good ones in our business today announced that he will not be coaching in 2007 to continue his battle with cancer. Fortunately, an equally high-caliber person in Bill Lynch is there to run the program in the meantime, and will do a great job.
Terry Hoeppner has meant a lot to a lot of people in the coaching profession and in football in general, so I thought it appropriate to start a thread expressing prayers and best wishes for Terry, his family, and the entire Indiana University football community.

Indiana football coach Hoeppner dies of complications from brain tumor[/url] Updated: June 19, 2007, 9:39 AM ETINDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana football coach Terry Hoeppner died Tuesday of complications from a brain tumor, a university spokesman said. He was 59. Hoeppner, who had two brain surgeries in the past 18 months, missed nearly four months on medical leave. He died at 6:50 a.m. at Bloomington Hospital, said J.D. Campbell, the school's sports information director. Late last week, the school said assistant Bill Lynch would replace him as coach for the 2007 season. Hoeppner, who went 9-14 in two seasons as Indiana's coach, had taken three medical leaves since December 2005. He hadn't been seen publicly since late February. by The Associated Press

That hit me hard this morning. I heard he wasn't doing great, but I certainly didn't expect he was doing this badly. Extremely sad news. My sincere condolences to his family and team. From what I understand, he was a truly outstanding person.

What a fighter that guy is. My prayers go out to his family, friends, and team. I wish the best to the IU football team this year. Though a Big10 title is probably out of the question, I do hope they honor his memory with a strong showing a bowl victory.

Very sad. My prayers go out to his family.
My lasting impression of Coach Hoeppner was of him at the NFL Draft a couple of years ago when Rothleisberger was continually passed over in the draft. His competitive fire and support of his players came through when one of the teams passed over Ben yet again in the draft, Hoeppner got so mad he flung his water bottle across the table. Great live TV.
I will remember him for the courageous fight he put up in these last years of his life.
