In retropsect, Pinkel's career was very similar to Snyder

in terms of overall winning %, but without the cupcake teams Snyder feasted on. Pinkel also has a better bowl winning %, and his best teams finished higher than Snyder's in the final AP polls. The only thing Pinkel doesn't have are the Conf. titles. However, Snyder's first conf. championship was actually a CCG win, even though OU still went on to the better bowl and finished ranked higher. The Conf. championship in 2012 was a dogshyt big12 where no team finished in the top 10 of the AP and kstate was the first #1 ranked team to lose to a sub.-500 team and that team, Baylor, blew their a$$es out.
But yet and even Mizzou fans slobber Snyder, no one would really admit that Pinkel did just as good a job as Snyder in rebuilding a program. Snyder just owned Pinkel on the field, unfortunately and that's one thing Gary can't overcome in this argument.
