Rhoades sucks

He needs to go with KA.

So, you guys dog out the football team when they protested, but stick up for the softball team!

Sorry, he just does.

Now the softball team is protesting his handling of the staff.

I have no dog in this fight... but when the softball team says you are an a-hole... well you just might be an a-hole.

quote:

He's a clown. frick, give me back Alden at this point.

ikr?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Mack Rhoades makes Alden look like the Jesus of ADs.

He's handling of the football strike was shite.

Now softball is going to hell.

We suck at pretty much everything now.

Mack Rhoades has been here for a year and in that year we've become the biggest laughing stock on and off the field. Our entire athletic department is a dumpster fire right now, an absolute fricking mess. Mack Rhoades has failed miserably as our AD.

Who gives a frick if the players are protesting? It's not their decision.

Now it's apparent that a group of players are complaining about the coach and a group are protesting this thing. Jesus, you'd make a terrible AD.

quote:

---

The problem is soft players who can't handle the criticism, complain to everyone.

That would be one thing, but the players seem to be fairly united in protesting the treatment of their coach, not how their coach treats them. This does not look like pampered players whining about their coach being too much of a meanie. Maybe Rhoades is just a bad AD who is making tough times worse at Mizzou.

The team is not united in the playing protest. They have had complaints from inside and outside of the program. This has been going on for a while.

As to Rhoades, can't get rid of the guy no different than you could get rid of KA after 1 year. Having said that, I can grade him out on what he has done so far.

Retaining KA? He had no choice after year 1 but to do so. Hard to hold that against MR. After year 2 of record setting play? Wellllll, still might have been hard to fire KA and hire someone new.

Extending TJ? I guess it depends on what someone was saying the other day is true or not. If TJ was given a series of 3 one year contracts, then I get it. He wasn't ready to make coaching changes before he even had a desk in his office. If it's truly a 3 year deal, bad, bad decision. I suppose we will find out shortly once the season is over.

Hiring Odom? Safe choice I suppose that is impossible to say if MR did the right thing or not yet.

Handling team protest? Probably his 2nd biggest fail so far. He couldn't leave the door open for this to become a regular thing. I think he's done an ok job after time but was lousy at the outset.

On this softball thing? Who knows? I can't even figure out what it is exactly about. My guess is he probably made some comment about some gal being on the rag and to quit her whining, they probably took it too serious and went to the AD's office and now they're obligated to at least look into it. Given that at least someone currently on the team/staff seems to have filed a complaint, I'm not sure what else MR can do.

Bottom line is the honeymoon period is over. Much like KA, anything moving forward doesn't have the luxury of saying it was first year growing pains.

If EE gets fired for cursing I will pull my annual donation. I'm only a gold donor, but I will be dang if I'm going to give a cent to an administration that that fires one of the best coaches we have had in any sport for the past 20 years for poor language.
