I don't agree, Dog. I don't think the D is nearly as bad as that horrible forking offense.......but my money says BYU and Arkansas both hang 30 on the Tigers.
I think the D stats are inflated because we really haven't played anyone that strong. Still, like I said, I won't argue your point....if you want to call them a great unit that's fine with me. I think they're good, but teams with great D's don't go 4-8....and that's what you are about to see.
Yes, Brothers is a stud......but even he looks better than he is because everyone around him is sub par. Really, this team SUCKS.
Keep in mind a very good D can be made lees-than-impressive when their teammates on the offense can't stay on the field long enough to let the D catch its breath. I really don't think the D is top tier either but they could be if they didn't have to be on the field so much. It also gives opposing teams so many more options against your D when they're playing with a lead.
Regarding canning Pinkel, why? Do you honestly think the next Bear Bryant or Nick Saban is out there just waiting for his chance at Mizzou? This program is firing on all cylinders and at its best when they can be in the top 20 or so. Pinkel has taken this team to levels that no realistic Mizzou fan expected. His recruiting has been very good and he has evolved into a pretty good in-game Head Coach. Now, if you tell me Saban or Urban Meyer is just itching to get the Mizzou job, I'm all for it. But I think canning Pinkel because of an off-year or two is not a great idea... Unless, of course, a top tier coach is in the wings...
