Missouri had a disappointing season, but the Tigers had some positive news Monday.
During an interview with 590 The Fan’s “The Line Change” in St. Louis, former Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said his cancer is now in remission.
From @GaryPinkel on @LineChangeSTL on his health: I'm in remission now. Physically, I'm good. The support has been incredible.

Pinkel, 64, retired after 15 seasons with Missouri last fall after revealing he was battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was diagnosed in May 2015 but decided to continue coaching when doctors told him the treatments would not interfere with his coaching duties.
