Mizzou basketball dead. D-E-A-D...dead

How is Kim better? Honest question, because I don’t know much about coaching capabilities of either.

Yep. I’d rather have Kim. And I can’t believe I’m saying I’d be ok with English. But this?!

I’m sorry but your take is total dog shite.

This was someone hiring a friends husband. It needs to be stopped.

And you think Kim English is the answer? Wasn’t aware of personal connections, those tend to go well.

Word on the street is that the contract is a 5 year, 10 Million deal. LOL. Worst run Athletic Department in the country.

That seems like an appropriate contract, assuming we have an escape route after year 3.

4 times his current salary-a good deal?

So hiring someone you know is a bad thing? Well Gates' wife is friends with our new AD.

At least Kim has done something here as a player and has ties to boosters for NIL opportunities in recruiting. How much money is DRF forking over out of her salary to help Gates with NIL money?

I am deflated.

Being a University of Missouri Sports fan has always been this way.

I'm just kind of done. Slightly hopeful for the football program but Drink has some things he needs to prove this season.

The BB program is in shambles and there is no one to blame but the university and its admin. The one program inside the AD that should have been sustainable was gutted and wrecked and any national level equity completely gone.

We often made the drive quite a bit to Columbia to watch the Men's BB team or my sons or relatives used the tickets. Haven't been in a couple of years. Let go of our TSF holds four years ago and haven't regretted it since. It's a shame, our Arena is amazing and one of the best in the country.

There is an aura or vibe from the University that the fans/donors have been the main problem as the AD transitions into a "new era".

Sad times.

Gates does not seem bad at all

It’s a complete shot in the dark. There’s almost no reason to think it will work. But it kinda looks like what we’re doing. Maybe not though. I suspect his agent leaked it last night to try to get traction somewhere.

Pardon me for trying to inject just an ounce of optimism in to your D-E-A-D thread. You literally title the thread DEAD and want to lecture about “uneducated” sports fans being the problem. I’m educated enough to know the administration isn’t going to give two shites about your opinion. I actually think people like you are the problem, endlessly pessimistic. I know we’re all a pessimistic bunch, but damn try to see the glass half full sometimes.
