Missouri Head Coach Gary Pinkel Would be Wise to Not Look Toward Washington
As soon as word came down that Tyrone Willingham was out as the football at the University of Washington, speculation immediately began to build about the possibility of UDub making a run at Missouri coach Gary Pinkel.
It would be a case of career suicide if Pinkel decided to drop what he has built at Mizzou and head for the Pacific Northwest.
Pinkel spent 13 seasons as an assistant coach of the Huskies (1976, 1979-90) under former head coach Don James. Pinkel followed Don James to the Seattle school after playing his college ball under James at Kent State, in their native state of Ohio from 1970-73.
Gary Pinkel does have a history at Washington. But does that outweigh what he has built at Missouri?
