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).

Thank you. There was more problems going on other than the race stuff. That's probably why the conservatives in this state aren't really talking about it or bashing MU for how they handled it. Maybe the guy was a Democrat
