Agree wholeheartedly with this write-up on Pinkel and this Mizzou season Pinkel's Greatest Coaching Job
Having to overcome losing our best player (DGB), adjusting an offense around a largely ineffective passing attack and playing the kind of defense that we are this season says all you need to know about Pinkel. Love his business-like approach.

He's a great coach. He really is. I wish he could recruit a little better, but all other areas he really does a great job.

I'd also point out that both losses, are the result of horrid offensive and gameday coaching, both of which are supposedly Pinkels specialty.

Offense certainly could have been better. But both losses also happen to be the only 2 games that the defense gave up more than 30.
Overall though, while I haven't read the article, I would agree, GP's best season of coaching. A lot of obstacles to overcome and while the defense might be one of the best I've seen in a Mizzou uniform, the team as a whole would probably rank in the bottom 3 over the last decade. The fact that he's managed to have this team in a position to win the east with 1 game left is remarkable. This team could have mailed it in after Indiana and certainly after UGA.

no I don't take that away from the players, they play well much of the time and don't give up ever. Not saying Pinkels staff doesn't coach players up well, they do that much for sure. It's the part were you send Baggett out to try and a 50ish yard FG you know he has less than a 10% chance of making, over and over, that's what I'm talking about.

You also have to appreciate how non-hokey and business-like Pinkel is. They don't show him giving cliched locker room speeches or coming out arm-in-arm with his players like goons such as Butch Davis. He just...does what he does.

This team is winning, and that's great, but seeing the undisciplined and stupid arse play each weeks make me unsure how you can say pinkel is some great coach

They may not show it, but he does give somewhat cliched locker room speeches, at least after a win, and he does hug his players on senior day, I've seen him do it.
I wouldn't hold either of those against him though. I don't know what happened w/ Tenn's players, I know Pinkel will dismiss the ones that need it though. Personal foibles of dui/divorce aside(plenty of people go through those), he's a good enough guy for the job.

I hear ya but he came on late. Give him one more year and see what he can do with a whole off season to work with the guys. Also, it seems like it's the same guys more often than not. Morse is just jumpy on that side.

I give the OL a slight break because of the lack of flow when they line up. There are lots of pauses and movement when they line up, I bet it's hard to stay in your stance.

Not really an excuse man, it can't happen to begin with, and on top of that if it does it can't be that frequent.

Not meaning to offer an excuse, I just said I give them a slight break. but you're right, at this point it shouldn't be happening as much.
Also it appears, AJ Rickers coaching is getting better. The OL is attacking much better.
