More drama!
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/colle...a4bcf6878.html Curator: Board will have 'a lot of questions' about Haith by VAHE GREGORIAN STLtoday.com | Posted: Monday, April 4, 2011 10:22 am | No Comments Posted Among the masses surprised and perhaps even perplexed by Mizzou's apparent hiring of Miami's Frank Haith late Sunday night was David Wasinger, a member of Missouri's Board of Curators who said that the first he'd heard about Haith was in the Post-Dispatch on Monday morning. As he prepared for a curators meeting to be conducted by telephone from University Hall in Columbia at 7:45 p.m. tonight, Wasinger said, "The board is going to have a lot of questions." Missouri's curators must approve a potential deal with Haith, whom a source close to the search committee acknowledged late Sunday had accepted an offer. Numerous other media outlets also reported Haith had taken the job. Wasinger added that he was aware of disappointment and disapproval being expressed about Haith, who has a reputation as a strong recruiter but took Miami to the NCAA Tournament just once in his seven seasons as a head coach. Wasinger, a St. Louis-based attorney, suggested alumni let whatever their feelings are about Haith be known to board members around the state before tonight's meeting. Wasinger added that he looked forward to hearing athletics director Mike Alden explain the rationale for Haith and hoped for a happy outcome. |

When he's doing about as well as all the other shitty guys that coached there before him, perhaps that's not a ringing endorsement of his prospects for future success. Every time someone tries to defend this hire, it comes out looking worse. "Well, maybe he's the next Rick Barnes!"...."Well look, he wasn't much different than the bad coaches that came before him!"...."He was just a good coach in a bad situation, but seriously, he doesn't know shit about offense." Just stop, fellas. You're not helping. This was a bad hire - period. And what Patteau continues to ignore is that even if he has a couple of good seasons, he's an East Coast guy and he'll be gone the season after he has even moderate success here. There is absolutely no upside to this hire - none whatsoever.

Id give this a week to let the emotions cool, give the guy some face time, and see what he is like. My bet is in a week, Alden will be back on top, public will be high on the new coach and what he brings, and expectations will be back in line.

Hell, if we're going to suck, we might as well start from scratch.

Should have hired someone who will stay there for a long time. This guy probably won't.

I hope the BOC grills Alden like hell on this hire, and then I hope they leak like a sieve so we know what his answers were.

You say there's no downside to being 'unhinged' here when I know you're not going to stand up and admit everyone was right if/when this guy turns out to be awful or when he leaves at the first sign of success. Nah, at best you'll provide some nothing of a truism like "I just thought he needed time to be evaluated" just like the spineless assholes that spent 2 years backing a lame horse in Matt Cassel.

Of course they say that. And of course Big 12 coaches praise Doc Sadler. Wanna guess why?

Do you get to get criticized if he sucks miserably then?
