MU ESPN says Pinkel is a consideration for Washington job - Page 3

SCTrojan · 10-28-2008, 04:48 AM

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.

Exactly. Look at that article where all those NFL players would like to play for him.

I think he deserves a chance to try it and Washington would be a great place to do it.

I should start a "Hire Herm" campaign here - call in to the radio shows, e-mail the school, etc. It's crazy enough to work.

Pinkel has done a decent job of turning MU football around. There's still a part of me though that wonders just how far he can go. Has Pinkle reached the pinnacle of his ability or can he take us even higher?

Even though I have questions about how much further he can take us, I'd be glad to keep him around at this point. He's done enough for the program that he deserves to stay. It's nice to be competitive with the better teams in the nation again.

If he leaves, I think he'd done a good enough job building the program up that we could attract some good canidates. A hungry young coach who has had success HCing at Div-2 or someone that has been an assistant for one of the upper level BCS teams might be able to push us even higher.

I'd love to see him as HC of Kansas. Shoot, I'd bet he'd make such a good college coach, I'd let him have the dual role of HC in both football and basketball at Kansas.

Given that Pinkel says he doesn't want to do another rebuilding project, why would he want to go to that wasteland of a program? They have had losing seasons for 5 or 6 years straight. Completely bereft of any talent at all. What, is the SMU job not open?

This year they're 0-7, the only winless team in a BCS conference. They got the crap kicked out of them by Arizona. Teams like this are why people snicker at the PAC-10.

Anyway they will end up breaking the bank for Lane Kiffin, which will probably be a decent hire.

Even if Pinkel did leave, we just promote Christiansen and move on.

It must be sad to have your program reach the depths of suckitude so much that you're one of those schools that has trouble hiring a coach.

IT'S SAD THAT YOU MAKE NO SENSE AND CAN'T TAKE A LITTLE RIBBING FROM OTHER TEAM'S FANS!!!11!1!!11

Go ahead and let Pinkel go to Washington if he wants out. Promote Christiansen the OC to head coach, and the watch keeps on tickin...

Glad your guys were able to eke out a win against Baylor this weekend. At this rate, if your boys keep working hard you might be a field goal better than K-State in a few weeks.

Yep. Neuheisal did this program in for sure. The Big XXII is also on the rise. It really doesn't make any sense to me why he would want to leave MU, but that being said, why not just deny it? He didn't. At all. So I have hope.

Also, let's not pretend like UW is some barren wasteland bereft of any prestige, or program history. We've won a national championship in the last 20 years, and it was under the tutilege of James and Pinkel. A lot of people don't remember the glory days of the UW football program but you can believe that Pinkel does. He was a big part of it.

As far as snickering at the Pac 10, that's fine. Snicker. The conference has gotten better from top to bottom, and whoever takes the UW job is going to get the recruiting class that was ranked top 10 IIRC last year, and those kids are on the field right now gaining experience. UW will be back in the next 5 years as long as someone halfway competant is hired. Tyrone sacrificed himself to improve this program this year. I'm extremely optimistic about our future. Maybe it's just the homer in me...........

Nothing would make me happier than for both programs to win in this situation. The Tigers are my girlfriend, but the Huskies, that's my wife.
