COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou fans are invited to celebrate the career of Head Football Coach Gary Pinkel at a press conference Monday morning where he will discuss his recent decision to retire from coaching at the end of this season. The event is open to the public, and will begin at 10:30 a.m. on the main floor of Mizzou Arena.
Doors will open at 9:30 a.m., and fans are encouraged to park on the south side of Mizzou Arena (Lot P), and enter through the Athletic Department south entrance. Public can sit in sections 105, 106, and 107 to observe, and refreshments will be available.
For those unable to attend, the event will be televised live on the SEC Network.
Pinkel announced on Friday afternoon his intention to retire at the end of the season due to health reasons, shortly before his Tigers responded with an emotional 20-16 win Saturday evening over BYU in Kansas City. He will step aside as Mizzou's winningest coach in program history, with a current win total of 118 as his Tigers will close out the 2015 home season with a Senior Night game against Tennessee at 6:15 p.m. at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field.
