Not only is he not taking the job, he's not going to leverage the offer for more money.

Oh, I agree, he's not going anywhere. But under my fantastic scenario, something does change: He wins a national championship. He then decides he's done what he came to do at Mizzou, giving him the freedom to chase his mentor's legacy. (He also has to decide that either a) he can turn around UW in the next 3-4 years, or b) he's ready to coach into his 70s.)
I think even if he won the NC he'd stay, but I'm trying to conjure up ANY scenario in which he leaves. And it has to get pretty far-fetched for that to happen. Perhaps aliens would show up, forcing Pinkel to re-assess his standing in the universe and he would conclude it just wouldn't work without giving UW a shot.
