Vanatta announced he would retire from coaching after the Tiger's last game of the year even though he was only 48 years old. Said Vanatta, "I know it may sound strange when I say that the record of the past two years has in no way influenced this decision. Even if we had Big 8 championship teams this season and last, my decision would still have been the same." AD Don Faurot confirmed that he was under no pressure to resign and the decision was entirely Vanatta's. At the end of the year, he would step aside and the MU job would go to a former Tiger playing great Norm Stewart to try and rebuild.
