I LOVE GP, y’all. What a guy. What a work ethic. What a great coach, inspiring so many. And now, what a worthy addition to this year’s class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
In case you’ve forgotten, Pinkel won more games than any previous coach at Mizzou or Toledo. He led the Tigers to 10 bowls and four conference championship games in two different conferences, and twice was thisclose to leading MIzzou to a national championship game. But still, he told a group of reporters and friends/family at Shakespeare’s on Tuesday afternoon, he wasn’t sure it’d be enough to get him in.
