this is in the MU Coaching Search thread.

It's a grand slam

he has backed off this now... I won't believe Painter is at MU till he walks out during midnight madness.

He went 9-19 his first season after Keady destroyed the program and then rebuilt it to a perennial 25 win program with tough entrance requirements in an area that really doesn't have much to draw players there.

It would be much easier for him to build a team at Mizzou than Purdue. Better recruiting grounds and it's an easier school to qualify for.

[DeezNutz]

Consistently locking down the state of Missouri = national title contending team at some point.

Can anyone do it?

He also was coach of the year in the Big Ten three of the past four years. No small feat.

Random question....Is this Painter related to Curtis Painter? Or just a coincidence, same school and all.

Norm and Quin both fucked up.

Norm in the late 90's let Loren Woods, Jadhi White, Chris Carrawell, Derek Hood all escape Missouri.

Quin then screwed up and made it where Hansbrough and Rush didn't want to come to Mizzou.

Don't forget David Lee and Larry Hughes.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

FWIW, there is no coach more overrated by his fanbase in perhaps any sport than Norm Stewart by Mizzou fans.

He out-Martyed Marty. Guy often had tremendous talent and couldn't beat inferior teams, let alone nearly equal ones.

[ChiefsCountry]

Don't forget David Lee and Larry Hughes.

Hughes wasn't going to leave St. Louis. He stayed in-state at least.

Actually this could have been Mizzou's lineup in 1998/1999:

C - Loren Woods
F - Jahdi White
F - Derek Hood (98)/JaRon Rush (99)
G - Chris Carrawell
G - Ryan Robertson

You can't tell me that wasn't a Final Four/National Championship team. All from the state of Missouri.

Did any of you Tiggers seriously think Painter would move from the college he went to school at ? He used you to get more money, plain and simple. Alden wasn't smart enough to know this.

MU is not an elite program to jump up and leave for unless you are a coach from a bottom feeder program that caught lighting in a bottle for a good run one year. Lateral moves are just hard to make, but accepting offers to better yourself is always the norm.

MU's best chance to hit pay dirt is to find a top assistant of an upper tier program or a head coach doing well in the mid majors somewhere.

It's rare to find a coach that can get top talent without having the school be the selling point.

I would say MU is better than NU in basketball, should be a little easier.

Not until major news outlets started reporting it.

And sorry, Roy, but Mizzou really is an elite program, even if you want to look down from your Jayhawk perch and say it's not. The problem with Mizzou is that they haven't had a coach that's been able to get them over the hump. As has been described in this thread, any major D1 school that is the primary school for its state that has at least two major metro areas should have no problem being a top 20 school in athletics. THERE is where Mizzou's problem lies with basketball - they can't seem to exploit it.

Your KU arrogance is showing. If it will make you feel better, I'll put it like this - Mizzou has the POTENTIAL to be elite. And I'll be the first to say that Mizzou isn't elite in basketball right now. How does that sound to you?

Mizzou is an elite school with an underachieving basketball program. Bottom line.

That's more like it. The name Missouri does not get many recruits by itself. This is what I call Elite, even teams in the top 10 all time wins are not considered elite anymore. This is why finding the right guy is so important, all MU fans wanted Anderson to be that guy.

I agree, if MU can ever find the right guy to build it up, it could reach that level someday,but it will take time. That's why I knew Painter wasn't coming to MU, he has a good gig in Purdue already.

Arrogance ? Hardly. Your just butthurt cause Anderson left and a Jayhawk disagreed with you. We have our share of problems as well, so get over it.

[Bowser]

IMO, "elite" isn't just a reflection of how a sports team does. Agree? If Roy or you or anyone wants to say Mizzou isn't elite because our basketball team sucks, well, that's just retarded.

I didn't say your basketball team sucks. Your basketball and football programs are mediocre to good while KU's basketball program is elite and the football program is garbage.

Classifying a school as 'elite' as a whole is something I'm not sure I can do. What are the criteria?

No, I said our basketball team sucks. I'm not trying to act otherwise.

And criteria? I'll admit I don't have a list of what makes a school elite. I guess it depends what field you get your degree in? Prestige? Knowledge of the school? If you want to throw the label of elite down based on achievements by the various sports teams there, that's a whole other debate.

[Bowser]

Fair enough. I will rephrase it as to not hurt the sensitivities of KU fan being lumped in with the likes of a Missouri in terms of respective basketball programs -

Missouri has the potential to become an elite basketball program if the right future coach can recruit correctly and breathe life into the program.

That work for you, counselor?

What top tier coach has ever came to Missouri ? I can't think of any at all.

FTM, KU has only grabbed a top tier coach only once, Larry Brown which didn't work out that well, OK, but not great. All of KU's coaches were chances or someone with some background record.

You are kidding yourself if you think a top tier coach, K, Cal, Self,Williams, Matta, etc. will leave to come to MU unless they paid him 5 mill a year plus.

MU better stick with trying to find a guy that wants to make a name for himself and pay him what he's worth.

Come on pat, Matt grows up in Indiana, goes to Purdue, plays & coaches at Purdue and you can honestly tell me he didn't have a strong desire to stay there. MU would have had to opened up the check book deeper to get him. Sometimes money isn't enough to draw a person away from their home. But since Purdue upped the ante, it was a no brainer.

Where your wrong is your last sentence. No one, no one, thought that Purdue would match Mizzou's offer. Purdue is a notoriously stingy athletic department, and they stepped up beyond anyone's reasonable imagination to keep their coach. Good for that athletic department for finding the resources to do that.

[ROYC75]

Look MU fans, I know you are upset about this, but common logic just adds up. Purdue was having success again after Gene Keady left. Matt had a tough 1st year but finally got it turned around. I just never saw him as a viable candidate for MU when he had such deep roots with Purdue. Yes, Purdue is a cheap paying university, But they paid up and MU didn't put the price tag high enough for him.

Sure he deserved it, coach of the year 3 times in the B10, but it took another schools offer to force theirs. If they didn't want him for the higher price they wouldn't have paid it. The old farmer said, why buy the cow when you get the milk for free, same principal here.
