they feel they have to support the previous regime to the grave, however bad it was.
Fiji is an assclown. 19 games into Haith's tenure (which started well with all those seniors), I made a post about Green leaving the program. He called me out in response to that post (and TigerInKansas) and asked if I (we) wanted to offer an apology for not wanting Haith hired when all the Miami stuff came up before he even coached a game. Imagine that. 19 games in and he was already planning a statue for Haith, when, heaven forbid, some of us actually were cautious about him due to his past.
I publicly stated here and on my blog in 2011 in August that the University of Missouri had plenty of "show cause" to fire him before he coached a single game. There was an obvious intent by the Haith camp to mislead Missouri about his past issues with Shapiro and the Miami mess. I also gave my opinion that if they did not fire him, Mizzou would be in worse shape in 3 years because of it, and that Haith would be gone anyway because something else will have happened (history repeats itself).
I was right. And people like Fiji are still trying to defend it. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH KIM ANDERSON. If KA never becomes a successful D1 head coach, it will be because he's not a successful D1 head coach. That said, he was put into an impossible situation by the Haith camp, and people like Fiji utterly REJOICE in it to further their own petty grievances against KA that he should have never been hired (because people like Fiji have this unrealistic view of what the University of Missouri basketball program really is).
This is my annual post on the Tigerboard. People like Fiji have driven away so many of us originals that its sickening.
