Ok then lol

I saw that; I would be stoked if true.

Berry best not be ****ting us.

Yep. If this is his idea of an April fools joke, it wouldn't be funny. I think Kruger would be a great hire given the circumstances.

 

[ouboomer]

this would be a very cruel April fool's joke

 

[WTSooner]

I'm okay with this. I don't think he'll get to the level that Billy or Kelvin had us at during their glory years, but I think he can get us to the Dance consistently, and at this point, that is all I'm asking.

He's my favorite of all the guys who have recently been linked to the job. Hope it's true.

Same here.

I actually think he will be a very kelvin-esque hire. Remember, it took Kelvin something like 6 years to win an NCAA tournament game here. I think he can re-establish us as a consistent winner before he retires.

Rebel fans will be happy if true

This would be a fantastic hire. Tons of experience, can recruit.

Big time stability to the program.

 

[Sooner04]

If true, that would be a fine hire.

 

[jerry]

Great news if true. Solid guy and a very good coach and Big 8 guy too.

 

[TEvans4Three]

I just want a coach, if this is April Fool's I will be pissed.

 

[bocabull]

Don't be mizzou losers fellas. Wait for something official.

If you're going to pay somebody $2mil Kruger is sure a proven guy to pay though.

 

[NickZepp]

That's about as perfect a hire as you can get right now.

Rebel fans are also idiots. He seems like a good hire - maybe not the greatest hire in the world, but he will do a solid job. I doubt he has ever fielded a team as bad as we had last year.

better not be an april fools joke... i would approve of this hire...

Great day in the morning. If true, this is absolutely great. Jut not quite ready to believe the media is finally getting right, though. I'll keep my fingers crossed; Kruger would truly be a great hire.
