I would think so. He recruited for Pitino, right?

Tough shit, skip.

We need our recruiting class and we'll find you a crusty old bastard to manage the game. Next year, you can have your backup chair back if you want it.

Haith cannot stay, he absolutely cannot stay. There's way too much at stake given the instability of the current conference structure to be seen as soft on folks that blow off the NCAA.

They have to fire him.

Nestor could be interim HC for a season, but I think he's too old to be an interim HC. He's 65 but does have HC experience.

Don't know much about Chew.

So I think if Haith was fired and they wanted an interim HC from the staff, it would be either Nestor or Fuller, with Nestor probably having the advantage since he has HC experience.

If Haith was fired, there's no one out there. Him and Nestor would be the best short term options, with Fuller possibly being the best long term option.

Jeez people, you can't trust the internet! Some will believe ANYTHING they read in an 11-month investigative and fully corroborative story..

So let Fuller learn on the job with Nestor providing the training.

They're playing with fire for a seriously mediocre coach.

If you're trying to figure out a way to keep Bill Self or Mike Krszasdljksi - fine; I get it.

If you're putting the reputation of your entire athletic department (and to a degree, your entire university) at risk to protect Frank ****ing Haith - there's a serious problem there.

There are no alternatives here - burn the asshole and move along. Figure out what to do about the coaching staff later.

I didn't know Mizzou grabbed our crappy basketball coach.

Then bow out because you're clearly an ignorant ****stain.

But then again, we knew that already.

I pretty much agree with you, but there's no point in firing Haith yet unless it turns out he was involved big time.

Hey - does anyone know what Dave Bliss is up to these days? I'll be he's available.

Larry Eustachy?

Home run ****ing hires right there, Alden. Home run hires, cocksmoke.

How 'bout you fly a private plane into Tony LaRussa's hotel room and do us all a really big favor.

How do you not find this stuff out during the hiring process?

LMAO wut?

Perception is reality.

If even the allegations that have already been made are true (and the corroborating evidence is pretty damning), that's enough to show him the door.

This is big time college athletics and Frank Haith is a shitty coach as it is. You absolutely, unquestionably, do NOT risk the reputation of your program for a guy like Frank goddamn Haith.

He needs to go.

Ignorant? You grabbed our trash. Thanks Mizzou.

Must've been handled by Lew Perkins.

Seriously - die in a fire and get the **** out of the thread. The moral high ground here resides somewhere in sweet Lou's basement or trapped between one of Jabba Mangino's chins.
