Dang! Eric Wood has a career ending neck injury.

Described as complicated wear and tear. Prime example of bad things happening to good people.

Hate to hear that. On the bright side, with his work ethic, personality and leadership skills, he will be great in whatever he chooses.

Hope he finds his way back to UofL. I bet that he would make an excellent coach and recruiter. That’s the type of cronyism I could support from Petrino.

Sad news, but on the sunny side of thought, the medical staff did a great job and probably saved his way of life as he knows it. I too hope he can return to be a part of the UofL football coaching staff.

Get well Big Guy.

Pretty sure Eric made a home here. Too bad he didn't marry a Petrino daughter. He'd be a lock to coach here. I kid, of course, kind of. Should E want to get into coaching, Petrino would be nuts not to hire him.

Eric is both smart and a good guy. He’ll be successful in whatever he does. I to would love to see him back home on the Cards staff. Wish he could have ended it on his own terms, but it doesn’t always happen that way. I can relate something very similar happened to me. Not an easy pill to swallow.

For sure....but having cancer and beating that is too.

Right now UofL has cancer of another variety.

Met Eric and his wife a couple of years ago through my business and both of them are as nice as could be. Very down to earth people.

You’re right, they have settled down here and I love the idea of Eric joining BP’s staff under Mike Summers.

Glad they caught this in time.....

Hoping this doesn't become a tough thing for him to handle rest of his life.

As others have noted - hire him if he's interested. If he's not, talk him into it.

Mic drop.
