His 1939 team loss to a lower ranked Georgia Tech team. He also loss to a lower ranked Fordam team. Both of those Missouri teams were great but had disappointing bowl results. Gary Pinkel's teams smashed Arkansas 38-7 in a New Year's Day bowl game and beat a very good Oklahoma State team and both teams were ranked higher. Don Faurot had a .558 winning percentage and Pinkel had a .618 winning percentage. Pinkel's win total was 118 and Faurot was 101. Faurot inherited a program that 8 years prior won the Conference in 1924,1925, and 1927. Gary inherited a football program that hadn't won the conference since 1969.
