happen all the time. And I believe our AD is on the board of an organization that advocates for the hiring of minority coaches and giving them racial preference.

So when she hires a drastically unqualified minority to coach one of our teams, it raises questions.

And no... I never questioned the merits of hiring Mike Anderson, Frank Haith, or Cuonzo Martin... they all had relevant experience and qualifications for a major power-conference job.

Furthermore, I did question the merits of hiring alums in 2014 and 2015 for the basketball and football jobs, respectively. Those appeared to be nepotistic hires.

You're naive if you think race had absolutely nothing to do with this particular hire. There's no way a white guy (who's not an alum) with this guy's resume would have gotten the job. No f***ing way.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Well if it's as awesome as you believe it to be - Newcatbirdseat MU - 6/4 15:55:27

Mizzou's problems are always self-inflicted, as in this - zounami MU - 6/4 18:24:13

They can't get the most qualified person. Was he the most - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 14:25:56

I hope so... I hate to think that DRF is discriminating... - zounami MU - 6/4 15:30:42

RE: "There are plenty of compelling arguments against this hire" - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 14:42:26

How is this guy qualified for an SEC head coaching job?... - zounami MU - 6/4 15:18:07

I did, 3 posts up. I guess there's not much point in - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 15:26:39

You mentioned "MU and STL connections"... that doesn't - zounami MU - 6/4 15:29:51

Those are reasons why they might have like him - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 15:40:40

Bieser was way more qualified. You're not being objective - zounami MU - 6/4 18:21:51

I'd say Bieser was more qualified, but not WAY more. - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 19:37:29

more qualified by far, without question (nm) - zounami MU - 6/5 08:17:49

With question. My question. (nm) - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/5 08:43:52

I meant objectively (nm) - zounami MU - 6/5 09:58:51

Zou, when you find yourself agreeing with Harold Jenkins - *M* KC - 6/4 14:08:02

I don't know anything about that dude, nor do I care (nm) - zounami MU - 6/4 14:17:02

Introduce yourself at the next meeting (nm) - hou4mu MU - 6/4 14:54:42

The volleyball and soccer coaches we’re both white - Hickeytime MU

- 6/4 13:58:57

I'll say this, it's interesting that she's hired 4 coaches - zounami MU - 6/4 14:23:08

Actually it’s not that interesting - hou4mu MU - 6/4 14:39:23

over half of all NCAA women's programs are coached by men... - zounami MU - 6/4 14:42:18

Most people don’t care what color or sex the coaches are - hou4mu MU - 6/4 14:53:30

I don't either. I only care that coaches are hired on merit. - zounami MU - 6/4 15:14:50

RE: Were You Saying Then When They Hired Kim Anderson (nm) - econprofaj MU - 6/4 16:16:33

hell yes I did... - zounami MU - 6/4 18:21:00

Not really. - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 15:35:37

He's woefully unqualified for an SEC head coaching job... - zounami MU - 6/4 18:15:27

"What else could it be?" - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 19:48:34

5/11 members of her senior staff in the department are - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 14:38:32

which staff are you talking about? be specific (nm) - zounami MU - 6/4 14:39:41

I was specific. Senior Staff. It's in the directory. - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 14:44:21

did she hire all of them? (nm) - zounami MU - 6/4 15:13:09

No, but she's hired some and let some go. - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 15:45:44

so, only one of them (nm) - zounami MU - 6/4 18:15:54

I didn't say that. I honestly don't know all of them. - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 19:53:33

"I honestly don't know"... that's been quite obvious (nm) - zounami MU - 6/5 08:10:19

You've brought no information to the table to back - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/5 08:47:57

jesus this is so dumb(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 6/4 13:40:57

It is indeed. But the only two people raising it are zounami - *M* KC - 6/4 13:56:42

do you feel trolled by my posts? (nm) - zounami MU - 6/4 14:33:52

How so? - Harold Jenkins - 6/4 13:51:15

RE: How so? - gaber c. MU - 6/4 14:13:28

No doubt about that my friend - Harold Jenkins - 6/4 18:15:49

I would have to do research on the AD's hirings at kU - bolivartiger MU - 6/4 13:53:29

ku’s AD has hired white male head coaches. Has Mizzou’s? - Harold Jenkins - 6/4 13:57:58

You seem to know that factoid really quickly - bolivartiger MU - 6/4 14:01:55

Answer my question bro - Harold Jenkins - 6/4 17:15:58

What are the qualifications? - bolivartiger MU - 6/4 13:22:17

Says the "I'm just asking questions" moron - MoArk MU - 6/4 13:19:31

RE: Or the most qualified - slamduncan KC - 6/4 13:39:11

Who knows if it works out - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/4 13:49:18

RE: Who knows if it works out - slamduncan KC - 6/4 13:56:07

That's a good point. No SEC school hires either Biesr - Eadsbee2 MU - 6/4 14:52:08

How many coaches turned Mizzou down - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/4 14:37:11

So we really hired a guy that went 10-14 in the AAC and - MATO MU - 6/4 13:47:42

It's definitely a job that would scare a lot of people away - bolivartiger MU - 6/4 13:26:23
