SCAR did fine considering the circumstances and who we were competing against to fill the position.
Mizzou ... notsomuch. Everyone is still laughing at Mizzou.
I don't mind a little spin to put positivity on a situation that is unknowable, but this statement is ABSOLUTE bullshite.
At the start of their coaching search if you would have told Mizzou fans they ended up with Odom their response on the Rant would have been "welp I guess we settled" or "well he is the safe hire." I saw a few advocate that result from day one actually.
If you would have told USC fans at the start of their long search that they would have ended up with Muschamp the response would have been something like "Frick you SEC Rant in your fat frickibg face! Their is no fricking way we end up with that Florida reject!"
Point being, if we are talking APPEARANCES and fan PERCEPTION then Mizzou made a better hire given their level of expectations and fan "wisdom."
With that said I expect Muschamp to actually do better at his job than Odom because the fan wisdom is way off. Odom got the job too soon due to circumstances, and USC got a guy who can deliver what they want.
But considering the "circumstances" Mizzou ON PAPER made a better hire.

No they didn't 
Cute way of capitalizing random words for emphasis though. Nice touch.

I can actually prove they had this thought mentality with a post I bookmarked 3 or 4 months ago...

Boxer I think you and rooster are arguing two different points but are both right. you are saying that AT THE BEGINNING of the search would we have had Muschamp at the top of the board. At the beginning of the search there wasn't really anyone else looking all that hard for a head coach so yes you were right about that.
However, in the post that you quoted from rooster, he said "considering the circumstances and who we were competing against..." again at the beginning of the search there was no competition, you being right, at the end there definitely was, rooster having some valid points.
As far as the Odom hire at Mizzou, can't really comment here, didn't follow his career at all.
