How could we forget! Pelini is a good coach but carries some baggage, Miles is out of our price range, a young coach skips town at the first nibble. Maybe Gary Pinkle would come out of retirement for a couple of years if his cancer is under control.

Pinkle !!! ... I'd even take him as an 'advisor' to Haynes specifically for the offense ... frankly there has never been any issues with defense under Haynes by any means ... but the offense, my goodness. It makes the whole team look inept ...

... doubt if Pinkle wants a full plate at this stage ... but even a moderately average offense that Pinkle could help with makes this team 'MAC Competitive' at the least with the defense already in hand.

If nothing else, that is a first step.

Another thought ... Pinkle probably knows a young OC-type he could groom, which would help as well.

Yes Pinkle is about 66 - he graduated from KSU the same year as me - guess that age thing was lost on me! I heard that Bill Murray turned 67 today - yikes
