Though I'm not sure Grinch had much to do with that.
I don't know that Alden will sign off on an internal promotion, but we'll see. You also wonder if Pinkel being on the hot seat might make the job harder.
I wouldn't mind seeing a coach in waiting type deal. You MIGHT be able to pry Kliff Kingsbury away from aTm with that...

Really?
I saw our corners being asked to do way too much (and often unable to do it) because they weren't getting adequate support from the safeties. EJ Gaines and Kip Edwards are athletic, experience starting corners that were just getting abandoned out there and often getting picked apart because they were being left on islands.
I don't think the CBs got worse, I think they were being asked to do more than they were capable of because the safety support wasn't there.
On occasion Walker would make a nice play, but apart from those, the Mizzou safeties seemed a step behind in coverage all season long.
