Pinkel's also a phenomenal administrator and generally a good leader. He's also a very good representative of the University.
**** demoting him - make him the AD.
We can find a better tactical coach (hell, I think Christensen is that guy) and we'd still get the benefit of all the things he does very well.
Love him or hate him - this is Gary Pinkel's program and without his efforts we are not getting this interest from the SEC. He's stubborn and occasionally he just doesn't seem to have his guys ready to play, but he's still no worse than an average game-coach (there are legitimately awful ones out there) and he adds a hell of a lot to the program outside of that.
