Disasterous

I will say... Quin is having a hell of an NBA coaching career. He's very highly thought of.

And Mike Anderson was a very good hire IMO. Anderson should have remained at Mizzou, where he had more success in less time, than at Arkansas.

Haith was a disaster hire, coming on the heels of the Painter fiasco.

And then the Kim Anderson hire was Mizzou not even trying, probably because Alden knew it was a terrible job that Haith had flushed down the toilet, and he needed a candidate that had zero risk of turning it down.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
