Wasn't a flashy hire at the time (kinda disappointing, honestly) but he greatly improved the state of the program.

This is why Missouri is a top 20-25 job... - zounami MU - 2/23 13:07:58
     It's a simple as this. Mizzou is one of only - alwaysright MU - 2/23 16:37:22
          True. Good point. (nm) - zounami MU - 2/23 17:10:37
     You left off the regional talent to recruit - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/23 14:42:42
          I thought about mentioning that but the post was already - zounami MU - 2/23 15:18:27
     your 'it's easy to win at MU' I think is the most - FIJItiger MU - 2/23 14:14:33
          If by win you mean at least one more win than loses - Phlalum MU - 2/23 15:50:09
               Our program is not top 20, more like top 35, but the job is - zounami MU - 2/23 16:07:00
          Then why hasn't it happened? - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:25:21
               MU is 0-5 in the Elite 8. There have been many MU teams - zounami MU - 2/23 14:50:08
               I said nothing of making Final Fours, that is a completely - FIJItiger MU - 2/23 14:30:37
                    It depends on how you define "nationally relevant program" - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:33:31

                              I'm not talking about a one year anomaly. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:36:58
                                   You are talking final rankings exclusively. I am talking - FIJItiger MU - 2/23 14:38:48
                                        So let's go with final rankings. The answer is 1/18 - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:52:58
                                             I think you're a little off on these but the point - sprintcar STL - 2/23 15:25:22
                                                  He's missing at least a couple top 10 rankings. Facts are - zounami MU - 2/23 15:31:54
                                                       They were final rankings on the season.(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/24 08:59:28
                                                       His point is valid though. Mizzou has ended the year - sprintcar STL - 2/23 15:50:06
                                                            He only went back 18 years, and left out multiple top 10 - zounami MU - 2/23 16:04:19
                                                                 I went back to Norm's retirement. I gave the final rankings - tjwheeler UI - 2/24 09:01:09
                                             What does "11/12-Nope" mean? Is that supposed to mean - zounami MU - 2/23 15:07:39
                                                  I used final AP rankings.(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 18:50:37
                                             Exactly...it's clinging to the past - Mormad MU - 2/23 15:03:53

                         RE: I'm talking about more than the last 4 years. - MUTGR MU - 2/23 14:43:13
                              I very much agree with that. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:54:07
          top 1/3rd of SEC every year should be the standard. - phrejd MU - 2/23 14:16:45
               Agree with this. When MU went to SEC, I thought top 3 - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:26:00
                    none of us did. until KA was hired and then most of us did.(nm) - phrejd MU - 2/23 14:27:41
                         lol, true (nm) - zounami MU - 2/23 15:22:43
                         I just don't get it. MU BB was better off in B12. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:30:59
                              No, it wasn't. Our problems have nothing to do with the - zounami MU - 2/23 14:41:17
                                   SEC fans (UK and maybe UF aside) don't care about BB. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:55:12
                                        Add Arkansas in there, and I disagree on the elite - TigerUppercut MU - 2/23 14:58:40
                                             That's the question, I guess. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 15:02:20

                              The conference move isn't the issue - TigerUppercut MU - 2/23 14:32:36
                                   Probably true. But, few SEC fans care about BB and I - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:34:28
                                        Have to think the negative effect on fan support - TigerUppercut MU - 2/23 14:35:59
                                             Good point. And, I don't see the SEC as having - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:38:28
                                                  There's a few interesting guys - TigerUppercut MU - 2/23 14:45:23
                                                       Yeah, and I'm a big fan of Frank Martin. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:57:41
                                                            Frank strikes me as a guy that needs the right spot - TigerUppercut MU - 2/23 14:59:46
                                                                 Yeah, he's old school from the Bob Knight tree of coaching. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 15:01:10
                                                  coaches in SEC might be better than most think - phrejd MU - 2/23 14:41:27
                              MU had actual coaches back then, its really not - FIJItiger MU - 2/23 14:31:53
                                   I think the hiring of FH and KA reflected the - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:35:38
                                        Yeah. Just a bad thought process - TigerUppercut MU - 2/23 14:37:10
                                             I submit Mike Thomas as worse than any MU AD. - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 14:41:12
                                                  Yeah, he was a joke - TigerUppercut MU - 2/23 14:47:14
                                                       And if we compare both situations... - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 15:00:34
                                        Not really. It reflected MU giving up on the sport and - FIJItiger MU - 2/23 14:37:08

                         Yeah, I think differentinating between the job/program is - tjwheeler UI - 2/23 15:03:16
