“I met with my doctors a week ago, got hammer toes in two toes, and they want to straighten those out,” the former Jackson State head coach told fans.  “I’m not receiving enough blood flow in order to do that surgery and another surgery to fix the dislocation of the foot, as well.  So this is where we are now.  There is no talk of amputation.  There’s no talk of any of that whatsoever.  The doctors were just telling me worse come to worse, this was going to happen, but I believe in staying right so we never have to take that left.”
