And he was a recruiting coordinator at
Wyoming. Not exactly a guy that's going to have ties through the south.
Would he have been hired at Mizzou but/for being Pinkel's nephew? C'mon - be honest here. You know he wouldn't have. And while he may well have strong coaching chops, we needed someone that could help us transition into the SEC and build a recruiting pipeline - Grinch wasn't that. And he was largely an ineffective recruiter here.
Which is why our defensive backfield was looking pretty damn ragged in the years immediately after he left.
When you do this 'Mizzoufan' shit you're so fond of, you generally paint with way too broad a brush and simply ignore the real frustrations of the folks you're looking to castigate.
