When Gary Pinkel took over the football program at the University of Missouri, it had lost all national prominence. Columbia, MO was not on the football map in America. Gary Pinkel was the head coach when one of his players died during a volunteer summer workout. Since that time, coach Pinkel has looked at his players as part of his family. That one death, has changed coach Pinkel's like, and how he views life, and where football fits into it.
Gary Pinkel has excelled at recruiting and has truly turned the program into one of the most prestigious in the nation. Yesterday it was announced that Gary Pinkel has renewed his contract at Mizzou, and will be staying with the university. This should be celebrated as a major victory for Missouri sports. Here is a salute to Gary Pinkel!
