He's had enough success to drag Baylol off the mat in the cow10 lately and become someone that cant be overlooked. I'll give him credit for that. He's also sparked enough interest for them to make huge upgrades to the stadium. Maybe some of that is piggy backed off of having a Heisman qb recently. I've heard having a Heisman is worth about $35 mil to a program.
Would love to see a study breakdown of that.
Anyhow, like I said, if could get talent, he can coach them I think. And lets face it, if you can win in Waco, theres a lot to be said about that.
Art Briles will coach the Mizzou Tigers.
That will be his quickest opportunity to get out of Waco.
Just read an article with some recent comments from him and he sounds like he is already carrying the SEC flag.
"I learned a long time ago that the only guy who remembers who was in second place is the one that got it. They've done a great job. They've put their brand on the table and they've walked away with all the chips. "What can you say? Until somebody beats them, that's what it's going to be."
He's a bit of an ass, but I'd venture to say most coaches have that trait in them.
I really think Mizzou sticks with Pinkel two more seasons. He has done a lot for that program. There is no talk of running him off here in Missouri.
Not sure about 2 more seasons, but it seems likely he'd at least get 1 more season after 2013, unless they just go winless to 2-3 wins or something.
Isn't he like their 2nd-winningest coach all-time or something?
I admit, I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, but I don't believe Sumlin is even remotely close to Briles in that category.
