Maybe i am. But if i were a coach, after seeing how all that went down, i would be more inclined to take another job at another school. Perhaps Mizzou will go the AC hire and that could turn out well, finding a diamond in the rough.

I think it was a perfect storm. If Pinkel doesn't have a career-ending diagnosis at that point (and presumably bad news from an MRI), I think the situation plays out differently from a coach/Athletic department standpoint. In other words, I don't think it's a replicable event.

And the issues between the faculty and the UM system were a driving force through the process of the firing of the President (maybe moreso than the BLMers). There's really not a lot of lingering effects on campus from what I can tell (except whitey got elected in the latest SGA election).
