That is awful. I had fully expected him to have a formal or informal consulting role with the team this year, as his son is heavily influenced by the system that John inovated.

I hope he's able to see his mom and family as appropriate. Wishing him well.

From SI

"John Teerlinck is kind of like Mr. Miyagi. He's very unorthodox. A different breed. Rough around the edges. He tells you things that are funny, but they register if you just listen. That's why he's the guru."

My deepest condolences to coach.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.

Condolences to the Teerlinck family and to everyone in mourning, everywhere.

A lifetime is short, but life is infinite.
