Kiffin [Raiders] is also under consideration because he knows the Pac-10, and worked for USC.

I think that Pinkel has worked too hard to get Missouri back to it's pre 1984 form. He has built a program based on integrity and clean players and going to Washington at this point would be step down. That all is taking into consideration the NC that Pinkel was a part of in the early 90s. MU has the recruits to be a contender for a few years and I believe that he is going to stay.

Don't do it Gary! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WU is where coaches go to Kevork their careers....Exhibit A: Rick Neuhiesal Exhibit B. Willingham

Pinkel's got a better job at Missouri. Chase Daniel might be leaving but he's done a good job recruiting at Mizzou and even if there is a drop off it shouldn't be a big one.

Do I hear Nick Saban's phone ringing???

Admittedly I have not kept up with the U. of Washington's west coast school history but I do know a little about their, now fired, coach. He's a good man, coach and family man as well. Why is no one ever talked about the folks who have been through this institution and swept out as fast....is there something about "sick school syndrome" going on there?

Les Miles may be available soon.

I say he goes!!
The Big-12 will be the new SEC for the next decade and with two Ohio boys already coaching (Stoops & Pelini) he best go to Washington. Washington, can be a good top 10 program, Don James proved that. Plus he only has to worry about USC and UCLA (future top 10 program)

Why would Pinkel go to Washington?

he should leave - he has the best team he will ever have at Missouri right now and he still won't win the big 12 - get while the getting is good. could be a great pay day.

Gary Pinkel is overrated. If he leaves Missouri I would be fine with it. The guy who Missouri needs to keep is David Christensen. Make him your head coach if Pinkel leaves.

Correct. Washington is down now, but has a much higher ceiling than Mizzou. Sooner or later Nebraska and Colorado are going to retake their places atop the Big 12 North. Pinkel would do well to learn from Greg Schiano and get while the getting's good.

He hasn't left Rutgers though.

You know what I'd like to do to that Willingham.

I don't think that Pinkel is going to run to Washington because Nebraska and Colorado are going to get better. Every coach wants to be in the best conference where every win means something not just one or two big games followed up by several bum games. Pinkel is not leaving.
