I have changed my mind about the coaching search.

Good point Dr.... Throw in a big buyout and Buzz may cost nearly as much as a bigger name. At that point 300k extra may get us a name and a instant upgrade in the late recruiting.

Mizzou won't be able to hire a coach of Buzz's level. They will have to get a mid-major coach like Cuonzo Martin. They got very fortunate with Anderson that they were the only ones going after him that year. I think if Sampson had left earlier, Anderson would have chosen OU over MU.

Mizzou has problems in their athletic department and I think it takes a certain coach to fit in the Columbia scene.

You have no idea what you're talking about with this one.

I don't know if Mizzou will hire a major conference coach or dip down to the mid-majors, but I'd put money on us not going after Buzz.

There's nothing wrong with our athletic department or Columbia that would keep coaches away.

You're crazy if you think OU is a more desirable job at this point.

I would have to agree with a lot of this. Missouri is certainly a good enough job to pull in a coach for whom most people might consider the move to be lateral. Whether or not they would pay the money, I have no point of reference. But I could see how there might be an SEC, Big East or Big 10 coach who might think that Missouri would better suit his personal goals and lifestyle.
 
For what it's worth, I believe Mike Alden has stated that he will be looking at major conference programs. We may end up with a mid-major, but not until we're turned down by others.

Matt Painter is the name mentioned most. On the surface, there's no reason why a guy who's having success at his alma mater in a major conference would ever consider moving, but there are a lot of people independently suggesting there's really something to it. There have been several comments of a specific reason Painter would come to Mizzou (something that apparently cannot be actually stated publicly, but it's coming from legit media people). He may just be trying to leverage a raise, but he just got one last year so I don't think it's just that.
 
if mizzou somehow winds up with chris mooney and we don't get buzz, someone will need to rid me of my shoelaces and belts.
 
I don't know how our AD views him, but I have other guys higher on my list than Mooney. He's obviously a good coach, but not sure he's a cultural fit for the midwest.
 
If Mizzou doesn't run after Shaka Smart then they are crazy.

I am telling you guys Shaka is the shiznit.

Coolm, weren't you ragging on Shaka last week? Said something like you would rather die than have OU hire him?
 
Shaka's going up against kansas for a spot in the Final Four.

He'll either be the guy every Mizzou fan wants, or he'll confirm that he's not ready. There really is nothing in between, and we'll know on Sunday night.

Pretty sure I have been praising Shaka. He was NOT my number 1 choice, but the dude from that podcast convinced me that Pearl would get a show cause greater than 1 year so I moved on.

I like the way Shaka plays his team defense. They throw out different traps, go deep into their bench, and work their butts off in single coverage. Offensively they work their little rotation and make crisp cuts . . . and if the defense is good they go FASTER and find open players. I like'em.

The longer I look at that photo, the more I get the feeling it's your subtle way of saying, "No, Joe C. is not smarter than our fanbase."

Exactly. Couldn't find a photo of Jeff and Joe together but this one has an amazing similar effect.
