That is what they did, its how your program goes from being a good one to an irrelevant one. We only have those low expectations because we made a mistake in hiring, and haven't corrected it. Those would not be acceptable expectations at MU for any regular coach. So that indicates we have the wrong guy if he can't be expected to even possibly meet normal expectations.

What you are basically saying is the team is setting out the season to not succeed, and if we set expectations so that they aren't expected to when they fail again they won't fall short of reaching those expectations. MU shouldn't be setting out at the beginning of the season to do so badly.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

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

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
