Who. Is. That.

Women's BB > Men's BB at TN. No chance Marshall goes there.

Mizzou is more attractive than TN, but the former is still a ridiculous long-shot. He'd listen to the offer, but the offer would have to be north of 3 for it to have any merit.

I'm still pretty curious as to why we have yet to read any reports that Tenn. or Mizzou has called WSU.

Maybe they're already assuming he'd have no interest. I don't know.

Because you'd never hear that report if Marshall says no.

Gottlieb was on the radio on Friday and said that the average fan would be shocked to learn the number of times an AD hears no before a hire happens. Used the example of the Haith hire at Mizzou. Before that announcement, there were "20 people who said no." Said that's just the nature of the beast.

Its not like Haith was a good coach but its gotta be concerning that the last 2 coaches willingly left Mizzou.

I didn't even know Haith left until I saw this thread just now. And then I read on ESPN he left for Tulsa...

Yeah, very concerning. The university went out of its way to retain Haith. Many ****s were given to try to prevent a mid-major power from "stealing" our HC.

It sucks so much shit to get paid $500K to see that pile of **** walk than to pay him $500K+ to go away next year.

I heard that Alden hated Christmas in April at his house. Very concerning stuff.

It's got to be concerning that Pilleenee took a cat on the field with him.

Absolutely.

Part of that is because you always call a bunch of guys that are long shots.

Hypothetically speaking, if you're Mike Alden aren't you going to call Izzo, Calipari, and Self?

999,999 out of a million they're going to say no. But that 1 time, that's like hitting the lottery.

I know in corporate hiring, they do it all the time.

Absolutely. If Alden isn't making all of these calls, I hope that he's fired tomorrow.

There are certain candidates whom you must force to say no explicitly.

Programs without stability go far. Enjoy Matt Painter Mizzou fan.

@Dave_Matter: Missouri's coaching search will begin in earnest on Monday. Early stages at this point. Coaches have reached out to MU with interest

@Dave_Matter: Missouri concerned with finding coach who's "the right fit." Sounds like a cliche but MU has traits in mind. Midwestern appeal is important

@Dave_Matter: Winning back fans will be important in Missouri search. MU not taking attendance dip lightly.

The front office of MIZZOU needs to understand that it's going to cost HUGE bucks to get this program back on track. They have to pay "shocking" coin to a coach who can attract/command good talent. Short of that, there's nothing this program/school has that will bring in a guy who can bring in the kids who can make this program relevant.

They need to be ready to write a check that pisses off the rest of college-nation... But if they do, a few years from now they could be awesome. In fact, it could be next year. College is, at best, a 4-year cycle, but the kids who can make a difference are there for a year, maybe two, so get the right guy and you could compete by next year and be a talked-about program (in good ways, not bad), in two.

Sounds like Haith got 1.3 mill per season not the 1.7-1.8 reported
