Depends on if he has a stocked cupboard of top talent when he arrives or not. To me Pinkel is a good coach but he has a lot of negatives in my eyes that may hurt him at bigger programs.

To be a great coach on the college level you have to be an excellent recruiter as well as a talent developer. At some schools the name sells itself but you still have to be part salesman when you are in contention for high end 4 and 5 star talent. I don't think he can compete with a Meyer or Saban over the long haul to consistently bring in the talent needed to compete against those type of teams.

Another thing I see holding him back is his hesitancy in playing true freshman. One question I ask myself is would Ezekiel Elliot or Roderick Johnson have the same impact they are having at their respective schools if they decided to come to mizzou?

GP in a talent rich state like Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, or Florida would be a great recruiter.

He usually does a great job of getting the in state kids he targets.

Elite freshmen have played for GP, he just hasn't had many of them.

Also if he goes anywhere does Dr. Ivy go with him? He is a big big part of the success that Mizzou has had.
