for a coach in his 3rd year.

Personally, I'd set the bar at 20 wins & an a tourney bid (including NIT) - last year should have been a .500 season.

Hey Fiji, how many wins will it take this year - Nazfan MU - 7/28 10:08:36
     Feefee reminds me of keke. The guy everyone loves - Mr. Orange SU - 7/28 15:58:58
     24 wins, top 5 in SEC, 9 seed or higher in NCAA tourney(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 10:31:43
          Thats so ridiculous - Bump834 MU - 7/28 15:29:52
               24 wins, top 5 in SEC, etc. are ridiculous standards for - 90Tiger MU - 7/28 15:37:53
                    For this year without a doubt - Bump834 MU - 7/28 20:54:29
                         That isn't the fault of the goal, bump. My goals for MU - 90Tiger MU - 7/29 09:58:45
                              Goals need to be attainable - Bump834 MU - 7/29 11:50:14
          FIJI is confusing the terms 'standard' which is based - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 13:44:25
               What the hell? I'm not confused - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 13:49:53
                    Then why substitute a standard of the past for a goal? - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 14:01:58
                         Why ask for a goal then limit it to whatever $hitty result - 90Tiger MU - 7/28 16:14:26
                              Because goals must be set in context - haeffb MU - 7/28 16:25:50
                         Who said it was a goal? - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 14:05:25
                              Original post said, 'how many wins will it take this year?' - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 14:33:40
                                   Right, this season. Again, its impossible for me to be - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 14:44:03
                                        Nevermind that no coach in any sport would ever agree that - MizzouTigerz MU - 7/28 23:54:10
                                        Okay, you may not be confused about your own opinion, - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 15:01:49
                                             Likely none, or something terrible(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 15:10:52
                                             Why don't you just ask what fiji thinks the goal should - tigerdb MU - 7/28 15:03:32
                                                  Good idea. FIJI, what is a goal for winning this year - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 15:15:23
                                                       i don't believe we have the capacity to be successful(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 15:31:52
                                                            That is so general that it says absolutely nothing. - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 21:36:02
                                                            Nor the capacity to fail (nm) - haeffb MU - 7/28 19:34:40
                                                                 No kidding! - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 22:33:23
                                                       "goal that is obtainable" lmao, why call it a goal? (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 7/28 15:26:22
                                                            Weird. Do you set personal goals - haeffb MU - 7/28 21:28:41
                                                                 No sheet! As a youngster I wanted to get a college degree. - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 22:07:40
                                                            Because a prediction of the future is not really a goal - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 15:38:18
          So you expect Mizzou to be a top 5 program nationally - hou4mu MU - 7/28 13:30:53
               If we achieved those goals year in and year out, then yes - StaleyTiger MU - 7/28 13:36:01
               Most programs nationally have a difficult time finishing - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 13:32:36
                    Top 5 in their respective conferences - hou4mu MU - 7/28 13:43:41
                         Well MU's conference is the SEC, I don't have - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 13:44:58
          So, 10, 11 or 12 seed = failure. Flawless logic as always. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 7/28 13:13:10
               There is a gap between success and failure - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 13:29:41
                    No there isn't - haeffb MU - 7/28 16:21:19
                         Exactly! If you set 24 games as your goal, and only - Doc Epps MU - 7/28 19:51:12

                    Interesting interpretation of the words.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 13:34:00
                         Asking what I consider a failure is an entirely different - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 13:35:41
                              Success and failure are pretty black and white concepts.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 14:29:47
                                   I suppose simpletons do exist who believe those are the - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 14:46:33
                                        And yet the truth is still beyond your understanding - Mr. Orange SU - 7/28 18:35:21
                                        No, just people familiar with the way words work. - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 16:30:00
               If we go 17-13 before the SEC tournament... - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 13:20:33
                    Ya, I don't think I'd consider 2001-02 a successful season - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 13:57:34
                    you added an element (final four run) to the scenario which - 90Tiger MU - 7/28 13:26:12
                         And just so you know on that Final Four... - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 13:32:55
                              That's nice, but not sure why it's relevant (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 7/28 14:00:36
                                   "made it a massive success then compared the two." - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 14:29:19
                         He chose to omit NCAA tournament results. - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 13:31:40
                              Whether it is or isn't, you including it and then stating - 90Tiger MU - 7/28 14:01:36
                                   No it isn't. - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 14:28:46
                                        only with a "run to the FF" tacked on. yeah, changes - 90Tiger MU - 7/28 15:54:52
                                             Despite all your whining, FIJI confirmed he'd call it a - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 16:58:48
                                                  No, actually I didn't (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 7/28 17:51:37

                                                                 Yes, that is the post I was referring to. - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 18:01:03
                    Exactly. - MizzouTigerz MU - 7/28 13:22:53
          I agree with the standard, but there is no way that is - DevilsAdvocate MU - 7/28 12:36:51

                    Well now, you're talking Mr. FIJI's numbers, and you - MizzouTigerz MU - 7/28 13:18:20
               I'd guess that 24 wins is based on the non-con & conference - tigerdb MU - 7/28 12:47:34
                    I'd guess the opposite. - zodiac6 JC - 7/28 12:58:13
