Gary Pinkel shoud be FIRED!

[cloverleaf]

Missouri's gutless coach has lost control of his team.

Group of players now running the football program.

Resign now Pinkie...you have lost your right to be called the head coach of Missouri football.

 

[Knightrofins]

Tough call for Pinkel. If he tells the players to piss off, then he's gonna lose recruits which would lead to his firing.

Inmates run the asylum. Free room and board just aint what it used to be

 

[cloverleaf]

If Pinkel had called a meeting and told the players "you miss practice tomorrow...you are off the team,
and your scholarship will be pulled."

How many of the 30 black players would have missed practice? My guess in none! If a few did, make a
statement and tell them goodbye.

You are right Knightrofins...Inmates are running the asylum headed by Pinkel.

This is the new America.

Btw, is it true the Mizzou president quit?

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Coach is between a rock and a hard place....back in the day these players would listen to their coach...hate to see politics mixed up with sports in college...

Yes, too bad when the Pres of a major university such as Missouri has to bow down to a small minority!! F em if they don't like it go to Grambling. See what THAT degree gets you.

 

[cloverleaf]

After just watching the Pinkel press conference...if I'm a white player, I ain't going to Missouri.

Most of the white players wanted to play the game but were put in a difficult situation by Pinkel.

He supported the blacks not playing the game. Fuck the players who wanted to...fuck the fans...
fuck BYU and their players. Maybe they shouldn't have played because they will get their ass
handed to them. Missouri won't win a game the rest of the season.

 

[Albatross]

Mizzou will be kicked out of the SEC with these cowardly acts. What a total cluster fu k.....maybe they lose their football program after this.....journalism school at its best.

Agree he was put in a difficult position. But he should have remained neutral - not commenting - until the absolute last minute. He got involved politically by supporting the players immediately.

Why would you think that? Not even remotely possible.

 

[cloverleaf]

Pinkel is all about PC shit with a gay player.

Pinkel is all about 30 black players determining if Missouri plays the next game.

Yeah, I'm
a middle class WHITE family Pinkel is recruiting.

Pinkel got his president FIRED...and someone explain for what. He's GUTLESS!!!

I have to disagree with your endorsing his decision.

How many great coaches (in any sport) would let the players do this?

Lombardi?
Parcells?


Would Tom Landry let the players back him into a corner like that?

Bellichick?
Walsh?



What do you think everyone of those coaches would have done?

Cloverleaf is right

 

[arniesarmy]

This isn't the pros. Missouri is probably one the only true universities in the SEC. Vandy also. Rest of those schools are sports factories. Students probably have to count to 10 to get admitted.

 

[Enfuego]

What's the deal with the professor getting mad at the student newspaper reporter today?

True liberal. When you can't win a debate...ATTACK others.

Missouri ain't shit without the SEC....why don't you get with Pinkel and rejoin the....hell, who want's you?

I'll ask you, how many great coaches (or leaders in general) would have handled it like that today?

He should be ashamed of himself.

 

[Enfuego]

I think the message they sent to their coaches, teammates and fans was that it's ok to quit.

When you have a job, and there is a dispute, you handle it like an adult. There is a grievance process but you keep working until the grievance is resolved. These guys acted like a bunch of bitches that didn't get their way.

Is this a joke? 78% acceptance rate, not exactly selective. To lump this institution in with Vandy academically is laughable. Fog a mirror, your in.
