Comparing him to Edsel is stupid.

If you want to compare him to another coach that was doing a solid job but replaced for an upgrade Tubby Smith would be a good example. Texas Tech got rid of Smith coming off of a tournament appearance and hired a top 5 coach in the game.

Memphis did the same, and hired an elite recruiter.

Though for every situation like Smith I could give you 10 where a team fired a winning coach only to downgrade.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

He very likely will have his third losing season in four - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/7 22:04:15

And if he does have a losing season this year, firing him - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/8 07:59:18

Every place Cuonzo has left has downgraded - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 08:40:39

Cal and Tenn made ridiculous hires when CM left. A year - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 10:16:08

And Tennessee was lucky to get Barnes. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/8 11:37:38

I'm tired of hearing how bare the cupboard was for CM. - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 13:27:44

I didn't argue that the cupboard was bare. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/8 20:55:07

DRF gave coaches in basketball and football - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 21:35:57

coaches turn programs around in a short amount of time - cal tiger MU - 9/8 12:15:56

That’s a common statement here - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 12:25:59

Tennessee begs to differ. Barnes had two rough seasons - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 13:43:47

Johnson won 55% of his games at Alabama - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 13:53:11

Pearl was a four seed in the tourney in year four and a five - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 13:58:25

So now 18 wins is good enough? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 14:08:35

18 in year three, followed by 25 and then 30. You seem to - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 14:36:41

That’s the timeline. In years 5-8 you need to see - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 16:12:48

It's natural enough, though. Everyone on this board - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/8 12:51:43

It’s an incorrect statement - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 12:59:47

I don't know about that. If the Porters are healthy those - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/8 20:57:42

Agreed. Elite coaches can turn around a program quickly. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/8 12:24:20

There are a ton of D1 coaches that are far worse - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 22:14:51

this guy can't even recruit players from his hometown - cal tiger MU - 9/8 12:13:52

There are some, I wouldn't say a ton - FIJItiger MU

- 9/8 11:11:23

I don't think those two would either. Why take on CM when - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:36:09

Watch some of the other D1 coaches - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 07:08:07

Watch CM and then look at his recruiting classes the past - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 07:54:37

Worst defense in the SEC? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 07:58:13

No one hates him. He is a mediocre coach who has no - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 08:25:17

It’s funny that you don’t think he and his staff - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 08:28:48

Six games over .500? SIX! When is the ticker tape parade? - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 10:07:50

There you go not giving the coaches and players credit - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 10:21:35

I don’t love him. He’s a good coach - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 10:47:34

This is a sensible post. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/8 21:02:31

RE: I don’t love him. He’s a good coach - TONYTIGR MU - 9/8 12:11:15

Do 'good' coaches finish below .500 half the time? - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:26:51

His recruiting alone should get him fired - NWMizzouFan NWMSU - 9/8 10:54:43

Over .600 and making the tournament is sucking? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 11:59:49

Three years out of five below .500 which is more than likely - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 14:08:56

You state as if it’s a fact that this team will be below.500 - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 16:10:22
