Surely you aren't confused about the location of the Kansas City Chiefs, are you?

Maybe Tad Boyle would be a possible choice?

The likelihood of hiring a KU grad or someone from the KU tree is lower than the likelihood of hiring Kim Anderson (in case you haven't seen my thoughts on that: Less than zero).

Who knows where the coaching search lands, but it should land in a much better place than Frank Haith.

Of course MU wouldn't, it's a blow to self esteem. I don't see why though since KU hired a KSU grad as AD and Mangino from OU by way of once coaching for Snyder (as the AD did too). Then hired a Nebraska guy. Won't alway work out but putting pettiness aside to hire from the best programs seems like a smart plan.

I'd bet anything KU would hire Pinkel in a heartbeat.

So last night, Harry and Boal were listing the Mizzou coaching candidates. Jay Wright, Greg Marshall, Shaka Smart. It was incredible to witness. Delusions of grandeur much?

Which school wouldn't have Gregg Marshall as a top candidate? Shaka Smart is always offered jobs. Jay Wright is at Villanova and Frank Boal went too.... you guessed it.. Villanova!

You don't make any money at 1:1 odds though, right?

MU just needs to decide if they want to be an ok Basketball team Like a GA or if they want to compete with the Big boys. If they want to go all in, they need to determine who their guy is and back up the brinks truck and pay they Guy. I’m guessing they are just going to hire a “character” guy and if they make the tournament every few years that will be fine.

They might want to take a look at Larry Eustachy he always liked Columbia

Bambi and him can't help it. They are sad little trolls who dwell on Missouri more than their own program.

No good coach is going to go to a career-killer like that job. Look at where the last three guys ended up: Austin of the NBDL, Arky, and Tulsa. Sad and pathetic.

Jay Wright is great coach, really locked in with NYC talent and now philly. don't know how he would play in the plains.

Gabe DeArmound was trying to push the idea of Gregg Marshall last Friday afternoon.

I don't see it but I suppose you have to try if you're MU.

JMU's board of visitors voted not to join the Sun Belt a couple of weeks ago, and Missouri State President Clif Smart said in an interview with Jock 98.7 in Springfield that the university never had any contact with the conference, emphasizing several times that MSU was "a basketball school happy in the MVC" and referencing Wichita State's recent success as a benchmark.

It's unclear whether the Sun Belt will even add a 12th member because the NCAA may decide to deregulate football championship games, allowing conferences with less than 12 members (hello, Big 12) to have one. Adding a 12th would mean the auto payments the Sun Belt members receive would be split another way, and it's doubtful that the conference could find a member to help with TV negotiations - they make next to nothing as it is, and options that would move the needle would get better offers.

They are going for the national championship wining coach:

Hope not

Dude has been running shit for the mules and I hope it stays that way

Might as well go with the old bird dog and pay him 1m, or some prospect who is young and hungry. You don't want to pull a KU and throw out dumb money to attract a big name like we did with Chunky Charlie. You don't want to be target practice for a retread bum looking for one last score. Nobody is winning with that garbage roster next year anyway so bite the bullett and don't get robbed blind

Paul Suellentrop ‏@PaulSuellentrop Apr 22
Around Koch Arena the past two days, got no sense anybody is concerned about losing a basketball coach. I've been in that building when

Paul Suellentrop ‏@PaulSuellentrop Apr 22
people are on edge and doors are closed. That's not the mood. Somebody laughed at me when I brought up Missouri.

This is the typical reaction.

Everybody should get a chance to prove himself. That said, I just read that Anderson is getting $1.8/per. That seems really high to me. If Gregg Marshall was really an option (and I doubt he was) for $3.0/per why not just pay it? Just the increase in ticket sales etc would cut into that difference. Guy would be nearly guaranteed to win wherever he goes. What is Mizzou doing with all their money?

Because Mizzou. :doh!: Nothing else needs to be said . . . .

Stadium expansion and the most reeruned search firm in existence, apparently.

Alden spent $50K on a search firm to hire Kim Anderson, when all it would have taken is 1/2 tank of gas and a BIC pen.

Duncan, I like you man, but .... Ouch.

I made the mistake of underestimating the idiocy of Mike Alden. Never again!

Iowa State fans aren't nervous about Fred leaving anytime soon. He's a bigger Cyclone fan than I am.

That's hard to fathom.

There's no excuse. There is an explanation - the AD is a moron.

I don't even like basketball really, but the fact that they seem content with a true fan, Gunther, Romeo type of hire drives me up a wall.

So it's 1.1m guaranteed, 2.0m if he reaches incentives. That's a lot of cash. I wonder what the incentives are.

Hiring Marshall would've been a gigantic splash and would've made Mizzou the talk of college basketball. The press (and ticket sales) from such a hire would be easily worth 1.0m extra. If the SEC network really takes Mizzou from 21.0m/yr to 30.0m+ then why pinch pennies like that? I don't know what big donors want there but I'm sure there's a bored old rich guy who could stroke that check without blinking. Mizzou doesn't even have any debt costs with their Arena so where are their hoops expenses?

The SEC Network payout isn't going to be anywhere near what the Clay Travis' of the world have been shouting about.

Some of us knew this all along. Apparently Mizzou is just finding out.

No doubt that's some serious pie-in-the-sky. However, Mizzou basketball is insanely profitable due in large part to the State footing most of the bill for their debt-free arena. They have almost no expenses. In 2008 they were the 12th most valuable college hoops franchise in Forbes:
http://www.forbes.com/2007/12/27/col..._slide_13.html

Now, they are in the 21-25 range with Florida. Florida pays Donovan $3.7m. Obviously their football program makes infinitely more money than Mizzou so they can pay whatever they want but still there's no reason for Mizzou to go cheap.

Interesting to note that the Mizzou coaching search thread is right next to the 2013-4 NHL thread. It has 1,000 responses and 24,000 views while the NHL one has 1,400 and 24,000. So essentially in the matter of two weeks, nearly as many people here cared about a coaching search as does an entire season's worth of NHL.


Net: next time a Mizzou fan says college basketball doesn't matter or that "nobody cares", feel free to laugh once more at them.

Hockey in general, more so than any other sport, is a niche sport.

little preseason ranking from espn

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...eseason-top-25

meh

Preseason rankings are reeruned and these rankings are exceptionally reeruned. Try harder next time.

With the Warriors job opening up.. you should be nervous.

Try hard doing what?

With your quest for attention via troll baiting.

Your shtick, along with PrisonBitch, is olde as **** and basically just give it a rest already.

blah blah but I was just posting an article

It's a thread about college sports. It's Mark Schlabach's first ranking. It's not like he's a nobody.

But if you're not interested then that's fine. Just stay away from my posts.

Just popping in to say the twin dipshits are still dumb as ****.

... you cannot be serious.

Hey... UCF!!!! Well we are in the top 5 among students in America.

Wash U is an outstanding school. I've had some great colleagues there (who have since moved on).

Kansas is tied for second with South Dakota State with a 92% acceptance rate. Wyoming leads all acceptance rates with 96%.

Good Lord. Anything above 85% or so is just insane. You're basically admitting you have no standards.

Yep. Basically you're just begging people to come to your school at that point.

And just because this was another Bitch attempt to get a jab in at Mizzou -

Kansas — University of Kansas
Location — Lawrence, Kansas
Undergraduates — 19,169

Hopefully someone drafts him or the media storm about how he got passed over because of a caulk fetish will be unbearable. If that does occur our only hope is johnny manziel to the cowboys to overpower that story LMAO

Talking smack on football and the draft again I see. You sad boy, ironic coming from you.

I couldn't find any academic ranking where KU & Mizzou weren't identical. The only difference I found was how much they spend. I placed it in your post in bold. Data on p32 of this report:

The only thing incorrect about that pic is the word "If".

LOL why?

What is the point with you trying to find random ranking's that put KU in a positive light today???

Btw, it's pretty easy to do for other schools as well. See this one:

http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/201...s-spring-2014/

It has Columbia as the 7th best college sports town in America. And 4 of the top 10 are SEC schools. Weird :hmmm: I thought football was no more popular than basketball.

Keep arguing with yourself, PB. It's the one thing you're good at.

Missouri football receives APR award

http://www.kansascity.com/2014/05/08...eives-apr.html

Missouri is the only football program in the Southeastern Conference to receive a second consecutive NCAA Public Recognition Award for maintaining an Academic Progress Rate that ranks in the top 10 percent nationally.

The Tigers’ football team was one of four programs to achieve the NCAA’s Public Recognition Award for the 2012-13 season along with women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor track and field and women’s outdoor track and field.

Only Vanderbilt, which earned six Public Recognition Awards, had more such honors among SEC schools.

South Carolina was the only other SEC football team to crack the top 10 percent.

“Certainly we’re very pleased about the recognition, it’s the standard that we expect at Mizzou,” football coach Gary Pinkel said in a release from MU athletics. “When I talk to parents during the recruiting process, I look them in the eye and tell them that we’re going to help their son grow on and off the field, and that includes having him leave with his degree from Mizzou. We have an amazing support system here that is as good as anywhere in the country. The track record speaks for itself.”

The full APR report for all teams will be released May 14. Teams that fail to reach 930 could be penalized with scholarship reductions or postseason bans.

During the last seven years of Pinkel’s tenure, Missouri has graduated 111 of 115 players and 11 seniors next season — Christian Brinser, David Butler, Stephen Carberry, Anthony Gatti, Matt Hoch, Jimmie Hunt, Marcus Murphy, Mitch Morse, Darvin Ruise, Lucas Vincent and Darius White — already will have earned degrees.

Boise State, Boston College, Clemson, Duke, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Rutgers, Stanford, Missouri, Nebraska, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Utah State earned the Public Recognition Award this year.

I had little doubt that you'd struggle with the idea of student athletes. Missouri athletes, apparently, appreciate the opportunity to receive a world-class education.

For certain LMAO

That's a great poll. "Answers.com" says LA is a better college town than Austin.

Even when Mizzou succeeds they still fail.

From what I heard Kansas has no interest in being affiliate with rapists and players who throw women down stairs.
