Earlier this week, the University of San Diego announced that football coach Dale Lindsey was retiring.

When asked about his retirement, Lindsey told The San Diego Union-Tribune that he didn’t willingly retire. Instead, he claims he was shown the door.

“I did not (bleeping) retire,” Lindsey said. “I was shown the door and would like to coach. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.”

San Diego athletics director Bill McGillis was asked if Lindsey was fired by the school. He didn’t really answer the question.

“What I can share is that by every measure of success, Dale Lindsey has been absolutely tremendous,” McGillis said.“When you look at the vision of our athletic program, our principles of winning in the classroom, winning on the playing field and winning in the community, we have a model college football program and that is in large part due to Dale Lindsey’s outstanding leadership.”

Lindsey is San Diego’s all-time winningest head coach. He has an 80-30 record.

Over the course of Lindsey’s career, he has made five appearances in the FCS playoffs and won seven Pioneer League titles.
