This is sad news, like her or hate her she is one h_ _ _ of a coach. Hope she can slow it down for a few moe years.


She is going to have a tough decision to make. It is going to affect her ability to coach (already has in game situations as she noted) and she will have to decide whether she is bigger than the game and Tennessee or respect the game as others have respected her and retire sometime soon. Unfortunately the early onset goes fast. Sad but true One of my fifty-something co-workers has this and had to early retire as she very rapidly got to the point she couldn’t function at work. She went from struggling with the right word to not recognizing who I was in just a year or so. :(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0569226/
