Indiana University Football Coach Hoeppner has surgery



Bloomington IN - IU football coach Terry Hoeppner had surgery last week to remove a tumor from his right temple. He has returned home on Monday and is doing well.

The football team's doctor said the surgery on Dec 27 was successful and that he was expected to make a full recovery. Hoeppner began having headaches when he was in Cleveland watching Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on Dec. 24th. Hoeppner coached Ben at Miami of Ohio and was eager to see him play in the Steelers game against the Browns.

Hoeppner underwent some tests on Dec. 26th when he returned to Bloomington from Cleveland. He had the surgery the next day to remove the tumor.

IU's sports medicine director, Dr. Larry Rink, stated that Hoeppner has suffered no neurological problems due to the surgery and tumor. It is


expected that he will continue his responsibilities as the head coach of the IU football team.

Hoeppner completed his first season this fall with a very respectful 4-7 record which IU has not seen in a while. He is really looking forward to next season and hopes to improve upon the 4-7 season.

"The prognosis for recovery is great, and I just want to thank my wife, Jane, my wonderful family, my incredible friends, the amazing doctors who treated me, and especially, the Good Lord," Hoeppner said. "I feel badly that I have not had the chance to talk to the players, but I want them to know that this is going to be a special year for us."
