It's been a cry-fest since we last to UMKC. Basically since the day we hired an old D2 coach people have been pretty bitchy and irrationally impatient

I don't care what kind of players or coaches we have....we should NEVER lose to UMKC. There is no excuse.

The team was hot garbage last year. Some was KA's fault (lack of offense, suspensions, etc), some was not (fuller situation, low talent). In my mind, there are no true "pass" years at the University of Missouri. It sucks the hand he was dealt, but you have to deal with it.

As for him being old, I think that is just a product of people being tired of the coaching carousel. Quin was supposed to be here long term, that didn't work out. Mike was here even less, Frank, less than that. Seeing us hire a old coach like KA spells out that we will be searching for a new coach in 5-6 years regardless of success. People are tired of that. They want a 15+ year coach.

People using the Gregg Marshall example...Wichita st was god awful when he got there. Way worse position than Mizzou is in. He had way less resources and support, and still got them to .500 by year 2.

I'm all for seeing what KA can do this season, but if we don't get to .500, just save ourselves a few years and cut ties.
