to start. Since then he has had three top five seeds and one rebuilding year.

Bruce Pearl took over Auburn, had two down years, one decent year and then a three year run of 25 win seasons. They had had five straight losing seasons before he took over.

Nate Oats took over a Bama team that had been finishing .500 in conference for several years and had them as a two seed in his second season.

Eric Musselman took an Arkansas team that had been a borderline top 25 team to a three seed and to ten finish in his second year.

So not only does it happen, it happens frequently in the SEC.

Getting back to where we once were is likely never going to - Jeff85 MU - 9/8 11:16:15

I'd be fine at some point returning to pre-2014 levels. - FIJItiger MU

one of the highest paid state employees tells us - cal tiger MU - 9/8 12:07:52

So only sunshine pumpers are allowed to post now? - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 07:58:09

Wait you are comparing a guy that has won 16% - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 17:05:42

So incompetence is fine as long as it is not vast - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/7 20:34:17

You may not like Cuonzo, but he’s not incompetent - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 20:44:49

let me make it easier for you - cal tiger MU - 9/8 12:11:25

Right 55% win is better that 16% wins - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 13:24:09

RE: I agree(nm) - oldtgr MU - 9/8 05:27:51

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

other than KA you have to go back almost 100 years to find - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 08:35:52

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

Sorry, I do not believe that. He has shown no ability to - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 06:18:25

I think the AD should consider themselves very fortunate if - FIJItiger MU

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

He posted two losing seasons in a row and returned with his - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 08:38:02

And changed some of his philosophies - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 08:42:36

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

How are simple facts hate? I don't not hate CM I just wish - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:24:18

RE: How are simple facts hate? I don't not hate CM I just wish - TONYTIGR MU - 9/8 11:37:02

I have distorted nothing. Yes he made the tourney twice - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 14:43:44

RE: I have distorted nothing. Yes he made the tourney twice - TONYTIGR MU - 9/8 16:47:46

We would have rightly been kicked out of the SEC if - FIJItiger MU

- 9/8 11:34:03

Your facts aren’t even correct (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 11:32:54

I have started a number of facts so far, care to tell me - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:37:41

You said Mizzou has had the worst defense in the SEC - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 11:47:03

I dont understand your love for cuonzo. You have to be a - NWMizzouFan NWMSU - 9/8 10:41:23

RE: I dont understand your love for cuonzo. You have to be a - TONYTIGR MU - 9/8 11:03:26

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

RE: His recruiting alone should get him fired - TONYTIGR MU - 9/8 11:16:11

He hasn't been avg at MU though - FIJItiger MU

Why exactly do you want to keep a coach around who is vastly - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:52:28

RE: Why exactly do you want to keep a coach around who is vastly - TONYTIGR MU - 9/8 12:01:56

Why do you or anyone want to go back the KA? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 11:56:11

I have no desire to go back to KA but if we are going to - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:57:47

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

Why should his recruiting get him fired ? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 10:56:41

Because his last four classes have averaged #79 in the - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:32:23

If class rating actually mattered that would be a valid - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 11:35:15

#79 is nowhere near top 50. His finishes have been near his - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/8 11:56:20

Team rankings largely don’t matter. - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/8 12:02:03

Because of how poor it has been, I don't think that is - FIJItiger MU

- 9/8 11:09:16

I believe Rick Ray is available. (nm) - Newcatbirdseat MU - 9/7 22:08:23

Conzo couldn't carry Edsells jock. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 9/7 21:53:42

well I for one, recommend we give CM a guarenteed - MU-TULSA MU - 9/7 21:53:32
