Talent can make it easier if they have length but there is zero effort in coaching this team defensively

He may need to change what he does next year with different players but Gates has given up on this team more than the players OR he is clueless

Maybe it's age, maybe it's a gut feeling - Eggs MU - 2/8 14:06:09

If they were to lose out that would kind of suck - playhard KC - 2/8 20:54:25

I was excited in the beginning - Tptiger MU - 2/8 19:22:08

I was hopeful but the zero coaching on defense and rebounds - TigerFan92 STL - 2/8 17:01:47

How much of the poor defense is about talent - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 17:21:04

So, having - Ohtiger MU - 2/8 17:50:38

What if he believes long term that system - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 17:59:15

RE: What if he believes long term that system - tigrito MU - 2/8 19:32:37

Then that will be shown after the recruiting - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 19:35:35

Defense is coaching and desire. - TigerFan92 STL - 2/8 17:42:33

Disagree that it’s about effort - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 17:54:09

I have seen all white teams be great at defense.. - shorty MU

Playing the same defensive scheme Mizzou uses? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/9 10:57:45

It is about coaching and effort and while it may take - TigerFan92 STL - 2/8 22:02:20

The defense was improved when Grill was available - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 22:23:22

RE: Disagree that it’s about effort - tigrito MU - 2/8 19:36:45

You could add a couple more. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 19:47:47

the poor rebounding does bother me (nm) - phrejd MU - 2/8 17:07:40

His accomplishment last year was something half the - XRob MU

- 2/8 16:07:20

None of the coaches other than Gates had a vault of NIL cash - alstl MU - 2/8 16:45:48

Meh - XRob MU

- 2/8 16:49:50

Some of you are still fooled by last year's win total... - zounami MU - 2/8 16:17:05

A lot of truth in your post. This year's team never gelled. - Ohtiger MU - 2/8 16:55:27

You're not wrong (for once) but all we can do is wait - Yosa125 TAMU - 2/8 16:55:10

We got a top 4 seed in the conference tourney - XRob MU

Nothing should have really changed. People overreacted to - alwaysright MU - 2/8 15:37:00

How can you overreact to a season like this? It's on pace to - zounami MU - 2/8 16:42:51

That is false. Even if they lose every remaining game. - alwaysright MU - 2/8 17:13:52

if we lose out, name another season that's worse (nm) - zounami MU - 2/8 17:16:06

.120 & .125 < .250 with an elite recruiting class - alwaysright MU - 2/8 17:21:51

which seasons are you referring to? (nm) - zounami MU - 2/8 20:05:33

The only way that happens is if our limited "NIL" resources - zounami MU - 2/8 15:32:40

The so simple a caveman can do it approach - tman MU - 2/8 16:05:02

exactly (nm) - zounami MU - 2/8 16:05:49

It will be easier to throw $3 million in NIL - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 15:35:38

unfortunately, I agree with that... our AD made a mistake - zounami MU - 2/8 15:37:22

That’s what consistently good teams do - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 15:40:03

he's playing chess here - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 2/8 15:43:07

And an excuse if Drink falls back to earth - hou4mu MU - 2/8 15:53:00

if money is siphoned away from FB to prop up the BB hire... - zounami MU - 2/8 15:56:37

Elite recruiter? Stretch(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

You must think DRF is really stupid - hou4mu MU - 2/8 16:03:41

Zou just thinks he is smarter than everyone(nm) - tman MU - 2/8 16:06:32

No, he doesn’t - haeffb MU - 2/8 16:13:04

meth is a helluva drug (nm) - phrejd MU - 2/8 17:05:43

She was retarded to give Gates a $25M buyout, and I bet - zounami MU - 2/8 16:05:18

As long as football is successful, she wins - hou4mu MU - 2/8 16:21:36

like I said, you're naïve if you actually believe that (nm) - zounami MU - 2/8 16:25:07

let me put it this way...if Gates has another KA-like season - zounami MU - 2/8 16:34:08

Thank goodness Drink will lead us to the playoff - hou4mu MU - 2/8 16:46:44

not hedging... I'm predicting what is most likely to happen - zounami MU - 2/8 15:46:55

I’m not mad at ya - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 2/8 15:56:32

i.e., I am expecting a "really [expensive] portal haul"... - zounami MU - 2/8 15:48:35

(1) Those teams have good coaches who can maximize - zounami MU - 2/8 15:42:54

Mizzou has a good coach as well. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/8 15:53:59

didn't Gates just set a record for longest losing streak in - zounami MU - 2/8 16:01:12

No. (nm) - haeffb MU - 2/8 16:10:26

Gates just tied the record, at 13 straight losses, and has a - zounami MU - 2/8 16:22:57

No. (nm) - haeffb MU - 2/8 16:29:04

10 straight L's & 13 of the last 14 (all except Central AR) - zounami MU - 2/8 16:41:35

good point.Dickenson was not coached up by BS he was bought(nm) - oldtgr MU - 2/8 16:11:27

You're so wrong. Coaching has a huge impact. It's hard to - zounami MU - 2/8 15:50:45

That's not really convincing. Consider me unswayed - Yosa125 TAMU - 2/8 15:54:48

Maybe it’s the track record of DG and/or CY - hou4mu MU - 2/8 15:31:49

I think I’m about 40% behind him - FIJItiger MU

- 2/8 15:28:20
