Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel Is Resigning After The Season

Sad to see something terrible happen to a good man. I can't thank Gary Pinkel enough for all that he has done for this program. He came to Mizzou and gave our program life again. He gave us an era of success that this program hasn't had in a long time. Five 10+ win seasons and 4 Division Titles in the last 8 years. Seven 1st round draft picks since 2009. Gary Pinkel, the most winning coach in Missouri history. Thanks Gary Pinkel...for everything.

I find it hard to believe this isn't related to the crap going on at Mizzou right now.

This drinks for you Pinkel

I hate this for Gary Pinkel and his family. I also hate it for Mizzou which has had such difficulty lately.

"I also hate it for Mizzou which has had such difficulty lately."

Pinkel is largely to blame for much of that difficulty, and he no doubt, is still in denial of that fact. He made a bad decision because he wanted his players to "like him" rather than respect him. It's a sad time for Mizzou/Pinkel in many ways and Pinkel bears much of the responsibility.

Good. He's obviously lost control of his team when the players are deciding whether they'll play or not.
