ESPN says Pinkel is a consideration for Washington job
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 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/pac10/0-3...ig-splash.html Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller 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. |

Scares the crap outta me. But I guess that comes with having a big-time coach in a program that has been 2nd rate for the better part of 30 years.

They'd have to buy out his contract plus give him more than $2 mill per year. But Washington has the $$$.

One of the buildings on campus is named for Bill Gates' mom, so I'm going to guess they can do some pretty good fundraising, between Gates, Allen and a few others. Seattle has some pretty deep pockets. Hell, they might be able to get money out of Warren Buffett if it means getting Pinkel out of the Big 12 North.

He has no ties to Washington other than being an assistant coach there years ago.
Big deal.

I bet some people look at dave christianson hard too. I wish Mizzou would incorporate the spread with some kind of straight forward running attack. The current offense hasn't got it done when it plays the big boys.

Where in this article is any evidence he will be interested? All it says is one of them "could be". I don't see anything here. ESPN tried to make up some drama last time around too.

Exactly what NFL team would want Pete Carroll? He has already proven to be a failure in the big boy league.

Hell, I'll never understand why a successful coach at a big-time program would ever want to go to the NFL. Maybe just to test yourself at the next level, but when you consider you're probably making just as much money at a big college, and work half the hours... also taking into account the high failure rate of college coaches in the pros.it seems like you'd never want to leave.

It seems there are two kinds of coaches: college & pro. IMHO: True pro coaches can never coach college (Parcells, Coughlin, Shannahan, etc.) because they don't recruit and they don't babysit. NFL coaches need to be at the top with the best of the best on an adult basis (allegedly). College coaches are used to being in control, they couldn't stand the thought of their players making more $ than them. They love recruiting and are ok with being big time in boys football. Both are pretty cool gigs.
