As a football program we have got to get our recruiting up.
Pinkel has proven he can take mid level high school talent and compete at a high level.
Now we need the higher level talent to not just compete at a high level but WIN at a high level. I'm talking about SEC championships and NC's.
Most importantly we need to improve in recruiting now so that when Pinkel does decide to retire we can continue competing for SEC championships.
I think it would be a safe bet to assume that our next coach will not be able to continue winning at a high level without more talent.
Bill Snyder at KSU is the model for what we don't want to become. While Snyder is coaching they are a good program. When he left they did't have the talent for the next coach to win.

not sure what the need is to dis Snyder, after all he is a Missourian, and he's done next to the impossible making a 3rd rate program relevant, at least in it's conference. He is a great gameday coach, and would be an improvement over Pinkel in that regard.
The idea that nobody can recruit to Mizzou is somewhat ludicrous, just because Pinkel flags on the Montee Balls, Zeke Elliots,,, Odofiles and Hentges doens't mean everyone would. There have been 4 star and even a #1 national recruit on the last 2 Mizzou teams, it's not the big magic show some seem to think it is.
Peterson at Boise St and Petersensun, at TCU beat some very good teams with pretty much 2 and 3 stars only, so yes, other coaches could win with these players. It might be a "safe bet" the next guy wouldn't win if Alden were doing the hiring, but fortunately that won't be the case.
