I've been trying to think of a scenario where Pinkel leaves for UW.
Maybe he wins the NC this year, says "My work here is done," decides he wants to coach another 10 years (until he's 71) and believes he can turn UW into a national contender over that time, putting him on near-equal footing with James. He becomes beloved at two schools (or three, is he beloved at Toledo?).
How's that for a Hail Mary?
