   Missouri coach Gary Pinkel will resign at the end of the 2015   
   season due to health reasons, director of athletics Mack Rhoades   
   announced Friday.   
      
   Pinkel was diagnosed in May with lymphoma, according to a school   
   news release.   
      
   "I made the decision in May, after visiting with my family, that   
   I wanted to keep coaching, as long as I felt good and had the   
   energy I needed," Pinkel said. "I felt great going into the   
   season, but also knew that I would need to re-assess things at   
   some point, and I set our bye week as the time when I would take   
   stock of the future. After we played Vanderbilt (Oct. 24), I had   
   a scheduled PET scan on Oct. 26 for reassessment, and then   
   visited with my family and came to the decision on October 27   
   that this would be my last year coaching. I still feel good   
   physically, but I decided that I want to focus on enjoying my   
   remaining years with my family and friends, and also have proper   
   time to battle the disease and give full attention to that."   
      
   Pinkel, 63, is the winningest coach in school history with   
   record of 117 71 in 15 seasons. Over that time, Mizzou produced   
   32 NFL draft picks, including seven first-rounders. According to   
   the release, he will remain as coach through Dec. 31 or until a   
   new coach is hired.
