MU ESPN says Pinkel is a consideration for Washington job - Page 6

Saw this on ESPN and thought I'd get the Mizzou fans' perspective on it. I know I hate it whenever journalists speculate that Pete Carroll will take whatever NFL job is open.

I pasted the part where they mention Pinkel below

Tyrone Willingham was nearly fired as Washington's coach following the 2007 season, so know that the folks in power -- both inside and outside the university -- have been cogitating about who the Huskies next coach will be for some time.

School president Mark Emmert loves his football. He was chancellor at LSU when he bypassed the authority of athletic director Joe Dean, fired coach Gerry DiNardo and lured a guy by the name of Nick Saban away from Michigan State.......

Two names would be sweet music to most Huskies fans: Missouri's Gary Pinkel and Seattle Seahawks assistant Jim Mora.

Both have ties to Washington and legendary coach Don James. And both would be expensive.

Some might wonder why Pinkel, a finalist for the job when Rick Neuheisel was hired after the 1998 season, would leave Missouri after building it into a national power, but more than a few connected folks believe Pinkel could be in play.

Of course, the Huskies will have to substantially beat the five-year contract extension that Pinkel signed last December that guarantees him $1.85 million annually.

Pinkle could be interested.

Mizzou fans act like Nebraska sucks, when Nebraska is in a spot Mizzou has usually found itself in. You can't have it both ways. Nebraska can rise the same way Mizzou has.

Nebraska has blown for years.

No one cares about Tom Osbourne, Tommie Frazier, Eric Crouch or any other shitbag from Nebraska.
