Start the statue plans: Gary Pinkel is a CFB Hall of Famer

We all knew it was coming, but it feels good to have the matter officially on the record.

Just over six years after he officially retired from his position as Missouri’s head football coach, Gary Pinkel is officially headed to the College Football Hall of Fame.

Congrats to legendary @ToledoFB & @MizzouFootball coach Gary Pinkel (@GaryPinkel) on being named to the 2022 @cfbhall Class!#cfbhall #GoRockets #MIZ

It’s not hyperbole to say this is a historic moment for the Mizzou program.
