FAYETTEVILLE — Gary Pinkel gave a glimpse of Nick Saban – and the coaching tree shared by both – during his time with the Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club on Wednesday.
He also pointed to his presence at the event as evidence that Arkansas-Missouri has yet to become a rivalry.
Pinkel coached Missouri to five division championships in 15 seasons as head coach at Missouri - three in the Big 12 North and two in the SEC East. He stepped down because of cancer after the 2015 season as the winningest coach in program history.
He said he wouldn't be invited to speak at a Kansas club.
