KA as head coach may not be as bad as people think

It depends on the coaching staff and the ability to keep Gant & Wright. If there was a staff that includes Fuller & Peeler among others, we might be alright. I saw an interesting tweet from Jeff Goodman saying that KA should try to get Kim English on the staff in some capacity. Thoughts? I think that would be a good move personally and might help with recruiting.

No. You cannot tell me this shite anymore. That's what the shills for the university told us when Haith was hired.
This is worse than Haith.

Would you be ok with the next football coach being Adam Dorrel?

A lot of ifs there. If we would have had a better hire, I dont think there would be as many ifs. It is pathetic that we hire a coach based on that he went to Mizzou. Sure it is something that can push a coach over the edge. But not when his resume can't really compare. Then again maybe this was Aldens only option.

I actually agree. This might not be too terrible. I'm willing to see what he can do. He HAS to be a better coach than Haith. I give more credit to Nestor in Haith's first year here cause it all went to shite after he left. I'm willing to see what Anderson can do.

Now that I have had some time to let it sink in, I agree with the OP. Am I ecstatic about the hire, no, but I do believe he is a better coach than Haith, yes. And yes I am a Norm guy, class of '93.
In trying to determine if moving from D-II to D-I would work, I kept thinking about Bo Ryan at Wisconsin, His past:
1972-1976 HS Coach
1976-1984 Wisconsin assistant Coach
1984-1999 Wisconsin-Platteville Head Coach (D-III)
352-76 (4 National Titles)
1999-2001 Wisconsin-Milwaukee (D-I) Age 52
30-27
2001-Current Wisconsin Head Coach. Age 54
13 straight NCAA tournaments
In looking at the Wisconsin Recruiting classes, they have not finished in the top 25 in recruiting going back to 2003. In the last two years they have 1 recruit that finished in the top 150. That recruit was #123. In that same time, Missouri has 5 guys in the top 150 ( Williams #42, Clark #72, T Jones #123, Gant #42 and Wright #73).
Yes it would be nice to recruit the best players year in/year out, but as Pinkel has shown, recruit the players that fit your system and coach them up. Haith couldn't do that, nor did he have a system.
I believe Kim has the ability to do this.
Would it have been nice to get the sexy hire and rub it everyone's face...absolutely. But I for one am excited to see what Kim can do.
This is his Blue Blood program, he has no other aspirations. He wants what is best for Mizzou. We haven't had that in while, so I welcome it.
A lot of you may disagree, and that is fine. To that I respectively say....GFY!
