Off to a slower start than expected but even he admitted he didn't realize how far we were behind the SEC in facilities and what not when he joined in 2005. But our 1st ever 11 win season, a winning record vs Clemmons, our 1st ever SEC East title, our 1st wins (X2) in Knoxville, 1st in Gainesville, only SEC team along with UF and LSU to not have a losing record during his period. So I'd give him a decently high #.

10 Million for Coach P. It'd be 10Billion if we could get past Bama and raise up a crystal ball.

I agree with the 8.5...... He inherited a train wreck and in three years has a 1 SEC, 3 bowl wins, and of course a Nattie..

Muschamp

4/10

1st year coach
Was left a mess after Meyer left
QB got hurt
kept the team together and won a bowl game to avoid a losing season


Other than that, wasn't too pleased with much of anything. He NEEDS to stop going off at officials.

Dinged for losing to Cam's Auburn team
Losing to LSU this year at home.
Having poor kickers and weak special teams.

If he can go back to back he'll gain a point or two.

It is really about a 5. Everyone knew it would take about 3-4 years to build the depth that would allow UT to compete against anyone with a pulse. However, he gets a -50 for losing to Kentucky.

I give Les a 9/10. He's 75-18, has taken us to 3 BCS Bowls, 3 SECCGs, 2 SEC Titles, 2 BCSCGs, and 1 National Title. That's a great run I don't care who or where you are. The only thing that keeps it from a 10/10 is that we slipped a little in 2008-09, but the ship has been righted. If you take those two years out Les is 58-9 in the other 5 years. He also hasn't lost at home since 2009 and has only I think 5 loses in Tiger Stadium in 7 years, with all but 2 coming in 2008. Damn strong.

Pinkel: 9.5

In just over a decade he has taken the program from two winning seasons in 18 years to eight winning seasons in the last nine; including three 10-win seasons in the past five and three Big 12 North championships in that time.

To put it simply: If the SEC had expanded before Pinkel arrived at Mizzou, there would've been no chance in hell and the Big East would seem farfetched for us when the Big 12 collapsed.

he has legit excuses for sure, but at the same time he's shown the worst second half adjustments (or lack thereof) I've ever seen. is it because of depth? that's part of it, but I'm sure coaching ability has something to do with it too.

2012 season will tell the tale. if he delivers sub-par performance this fall, he can gtfo. I'll reserve my judgments until after the 2012 season.

The passengers on that train wreck helped bring you Aubs your first Nattie on over 50 freakin years. Tubs deserves some credit for that don't you think?

I give lesticles an 8.5.... Not only did he botch the NC game but failed to have a backup plan at QB when perilloux got the boot

he also botched 06 with all of our talent we shouldn't have lost at auburn that year.

id probably give him a 9 currently, now if we win the nc this year then its a 10.

his great things outweigh his mistakes by a good bit but damn some of his frick ups really hurt.

I'd say 10. Haven't lost a ball game yet.
