Gary Pinkel – Missouri Tigers

Stock: Steady

Gary Pinkel is just steady eddy at Mizzou. He keeps producing winning teams and the fans just keep loving him. The Tigers have exceeded expectations to a certain degree since joining the SEC, and even if they don’t make a third consecutive trip to the SEC Championship game its unlikely that Pinkel’s support will wane.

He’s one of the longest tenured coaches in the conference in terms of how long he’s been with his team, and the way things go in the SEC he could eventually end up being the longest of them all.

The Tigers are primed for another season of the press calling for them to drop, which probably means Pinkel will have them right back in the thick of the hunt.
