I'll certainly blame Alden to an extent, but Suitcase really put us over a barrel, too. Ultimately, he always picks the wrong coach. He chose Quin over Self and Haith over anyone else.
Gregg Marshall wasn't Gregg Marshall yet, but it's Alden's job to see that progress. He needs to be able to identify guys like Cuonzo, who, incidentally, has recruited better than the all-hat-no-cattle Haith.
When this team goes 14-18 next year, a bunch of dipshits are still going to say you can't fire a guy after four years when he's won over 80 games. Truth is, every situation is unique, and anyone who says "You'll never get anyone else in here" is completely full of shit. If you pay good money they'll come here.
If we fired Haith today, all we'd have to do is show a candidate the tape of the last two Missouri teams. Firing Haith has nothing to do with impatience and everything to do with incompetence. He's Herm Edwards without charisma. He has the ethics of Jerry Tarkanian and the coaching ability of Gerry Faust.
