Pinkel is decent has a system in place....aka an identity and recruits to it.

Nebraska throttled Missouri for like 25 years in a row and took until Pinkel to get in the win column.

Pinkel does lose to teams like Indiana though.


On the other hand GP's Tigers have surpassed ten wins three times from 2007 to present. The last time Nebraska did that was 2001. That was also GP's first year at Mizzou. So even with that loss to Indiana, GP's Tigers are demonstrably better than Nebraska.

5 ten win seasons since '07. That's more than a very long list of "helmet teams" that I'm not going to list. Since '06 we have only failed to reach 8 wins 1 time and that was due to a historic run of injuries. The guy is just really good. He has a dogmatic devotion to the Don James system and it works.

I hope he gets a conference title before he hangs it up. He deserves it.
