Most Mizzou fans hate the offensive system that has consistently given Missouri its best offensive teams in the past 40 years?
I know that some people hate the spread irrationally, but it's a big part of Pinkel's success at Mizzou. It's the reason Missouri continues to attract great quarterbacks (Next one in line, IMO: 2012 kid Gunner Kiel, who probably is the guy that replaces Franklin as the starter) and helped attract the great WR class this past recruiting cycle.
It gives Missouri the best shot to be a consistent winner in the new conference, that's for sure. Going to a pro style system just isn't going to work that often for a school like Missouri (too reliant on a great QB/great OL).
I WOULD like to see an ace set incorporated (with a TE in the slot and a blocking TE attached to the line on the opposite side), but the spread is Missouri's bread and butter.
The Tigers are damn lucky to have had a "win" hire like Pinkel. Let's just hope they are similarly successful when it comes time to hire his replacement...
