Sad story that Gary Pinkel is just an average guy who got a DWI in Columbia, Missouri.

But wait he is making $3,000,000 a year as coach of the Missouri Tigers and is mentoring young men by example.

Mike Alden should not give Pinkel a free pass on this situation as it would send the wrong message to anybody who has lost a loved one due to drunk driver. Pinkel had in the pass suspended two of his players for two games in a row for the same violation. So at best Pinkel should sit out the final two games this year suspended.

Will that happen under Mike Alden? We know that answer as everything Alden has done over the years has been a train wreck. Quin Snyder, Mike Anderson, Frank Haith, The Paige Arena among notable thinks. Anderson is the Teflon AD.

Will this cost Pinkel in the long run? I can bet he is off the Penn State and Ohio State potential coaching lists as these schools have enough baggage that they wouldn't touch him now.

Was Pinkel set up by the Boone County Police or Columbia police to keep him off the hunted list by Penn State or Ohio State?

Maybe Mike Alden figured out a way to keep his successful coach home in Columbia by setting him up for a DWI.... Naw that didn't happen unless your a conspiracy theorist.

Pinkel needs to be disciplined the same way one of his players would be disciplined or under the written guidelines of the University of Missouri code of conduct for an employee.

If ever there’s a time for a college football coach to get busted for DWI, this is it!

He'll be walking for sure now. 30 mandatory suspension of driving privileges in MO.

Never ceases to amaze me...$3 million per annum and he can't hire a driver? Hell, most any student could use the extra $$. Give a guy $100 bill to drive you around. Avoid messes like this.

Last year one of MU's coach's got busted for drinking in parking lot in a parked car. At least Pinkel was doing something...
