You lower them so your team has a chance to realistically obtain what they set out to do at the beginning of the season.

It doesn't surprise me that you haven't changed your expectations for year 3 based on years 1 and 2 because you don't want Anderson retained.

Not a single coach, or athletic department, in the country makes season expectations based on where they thought you should be 2 years ago...

Especially considering there is not a single player on this roster that was a part of the team you originally had the expectations for.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Yeah they forget Stewart happened to have Doug Smith, Peeler - MakeShift MU - 10/12 11:56:05

More important is how the team fares in the SEC. That is - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:12:18

I'm sure that's why Kelly brought it up - MakeShift MU - 10/12 09:33:31

Yea I have been saying that for a while now - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/12 09:16:08

If he can go .500 in SEC play or better, I think he'll - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:18:39

You're talking about two different things. An AD has to - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 10:06:46

Part of the problem with the SEC is several schools fired - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/12 10:14:29

especially in the SEC which is a very weak BB league...... - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:29:20

Maybe 8, but less than that, in year 3, is unacceptable if - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:22:35

get 6-8 wins, add some players, develop the current - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/12 09:33:15

We have what is basically a Division II non-con schedule.... - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:05:19

A lot of schools do that, but our non-con is solid - nerdmachine KC - 10/12 11:17:06
