People get too hung up on recruiting rankings and think we don't have talent. That's incredibly false. What GP does that sets him apart is he routinely abuses the recruiting rankings and vastly outperforms them. Our 13 team was as talented as any in the country for example.

I'd say 8.5/10. It's hard to judge a guy by national titles/conference titles at a school who hasn't won one since '69 and was in the shitter when he took over. He's a great coach.

I agree with this. He is perfect for missouri. Fits them well.

See I dont' know about that. You have to assume that there is an extreeeeeeeemely small group of 10/10s, in fact it's probably just 2; saban and meyer. Below them in the 9 category you have your borderline elite guys elsewhere like maybe patterson, harbaugh, etc. I'm not sure if pinkel is right there below those guys. Unlike OP, I would give him better than 6.5. I think he's solidly in the 7s somewhere.
