Gary Pinkel to resign
He has lymphona so it's not due to the recent controversy. Please refrain from ill-conceived jokes.

Missouri is not at all an easy place to win. They'd been absolutely terrible in the not-too-distant past. Pinkel is one of the best coaches of the past 15 or so years.

And this was at a school that had little expectation of winning and a mid-level recruiting base at best.
November 13th, 2015 at 4:31 PM ^
with cascade of downstream effects of these jobs opening up, it's going to be surprising if Michigan's top-flight staff is untouched this offseason. They're just too impressive to ignore.
Wouldn't be surprised at all to see UCF, for instance, come hard for Durkin, or a P5 school offer a DC role to Jackson.

before they hired Hoke? Or was that all subterfuge by Brandon who already had decided on Hoke?
November 13th, 2015 at 4:38 PM ^
Pinkel Cutcliffed that report.

To feel pretty damn lucky we got this sorted last year with a top tier coach. Gonna be a crazy offseason.
November 13th, 2015 at 4:44 PM ^
Not only would we have lost out on a shot with Harbaugh, but we would be competing with everyone and their mother for a coach.

And Missouri is wearing all-white uniforms this weekend. Incredibly insensitive and unbelievably tone deaf of the athletic department. It's a "WHITE OUT" against BYU, whose church has their own deeply racist history. It's like the administration is trying to antagonize students of color and the demonstrators.

You humans disgust me. Many of you try to make things that aren't racist, racist. Then you diminish things that are racist and pretend their not. Such odd creatures full of double standards and arbitrary cultural norms.
November 13th, 2015 at 4:50 PM ^
Firstly, this "white out" has been planned for months. Months where not one of the players objected to it.Secondly, BYU's history is irrelevant to what is going on at Mizzou. If you want to play that game anti-Mormonism is also a thing. Of course, you probably are not aware of that.
I think you are well-meaning, but misguided person.
November 14th, 2015 at 11:05 AM ^
So you think a student of color attending the game should be subjected to the emotional duress and anxiety of sitting in a sea of white supremacy symbolism just because it was a pre-planned event?
You, Mr. Ice Veins, just don't care, and are therefore a racist.
Brian!, you have eight days to kick Salvatore off the site.

I'm a reasonably intelligent person who happens to be in the market for a job right now. Looking at the state of the college football coaching world, on top of all the referees who ought to be unceremoniously dumped in a Siberian work camp, I think my best bet is to grab a copy of "Bo's Lasting Lessons" and the official NCAA football regulations and start studying for my new career.

Never like to hear about anyone getting cancer. Wish him and his family the best, and a speedy/full recovery.
Football-wise, it will be tough for his successer to stay the course, I think.
November 13th, 2015 at 5:01 PM ^
Cancer sucks, even when " beaten", it's hard for people to live fear free. Glad to hear it is treatable and hope he is back coaching which I am sure he will be.
Dam, Mizzou just getting rocked lately.

Gary Pinkel has to be one of the most underrated coaches. He built Missouri into a contender at the peak of the Big 12 and following 30 years of wandering aimlessly after Dan Devine. In the first three years of Missouri in the SEC, he took them to two SECCGs. He even had a little MAC dynasty at Toledo in the mid to late 90s. That is good coaching.
November 13th, 2015 at 5:05 PM ^
November 13th, 2015 at 5:21 PM ^
I will pray to Tom Brady for healing. Bless him in the name of the Brady, the Harbaugh, and the Holy Yost.
November 13th, 2015 at 5:21 PM ^
is going to find replacing Pinkel very difficult. Remember Pinkel spurned opportunities to leave Mizzou and go to higher profile programs.
Missouri is basically Illinois with some recent success.

ability to criticize other's knowledge without displaying to anyone that you possess any amount of knowledge yourself. Why ought I to take you seriously when you have proven yourself to be nothing more than a heckler?
More importantly, why are you engaging in the behavior of a child?

I still feel good physically, but I decided that I want to focus on enjoying my remaining years with my family and friends, and also have proper time to battle the disease and give full attention to that," he said.
Pinkel definitely leaves a positive mark in college coaching between his time at Toledo and Missouri. A MAC Championship, 3 MAC East Championships, 3 times as the Big XII North champion and twice his team was the SEC East champion. He's also been coach of the year in the MAC and SEC. That's not a bad career at all, and indeed, he was the Washington OC before he was at Toledo and certainly did well there too.
Get well, Coach Pinkel.

that we're gonna be sitting this one out.
November 13th, 2015 at 6:04 PM ^
So Pinkle got forced out "due to health reasons two days after the "aftermath"" Not surprised.

Mizzou was a tire fire when i moved to STL in 1995, until Pinkel. Some, here, have complained about the lack of conference championships, but they are clueless about how hard it is to resurrect a program without national prominence or high caliber in-state talent. I respect Pinkel and wish him the best during the most important battle of his life. Mizzou will be lucky to find even a close replacement.
