Taggart can't simply out recruit everyone and get a more talented team. Missouri will never be more talented than Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, etc... They can have better positions and enough match up advantages to win some games, but they will never be head to toe better than the majority of the SEC. It's a lot easier to convince a guy to go to USF than sit on an SEC bench or go to an Iowa State than convincing a kid to play at Missouri than Alabama.Not sure if plays a factor, the race tension in Missouri will likely turn off several potential coaches. And, I believe Mizzou will be like Vandy. A few brief good years, but mostly mediocre years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we free up some money next year paying off losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leavitt is one of those guys, Willie might be as well... Edited December 3, 2015 by jg233 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously everyone is going to blame the head coach when things aren't going right. He knows that's what he signed up for. I just can't see Coach T at Mizzou. It seems like such an awkward spot for him. I'm hoping he stays for the long run like CJL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know everyone on here will say "yeah, but!" about his record, but it is what it is at this juncture. At some point, yeah he's going to get serious inquiries (hopefully, that will mean more success here) but for now, I can't see any competitive P5 schools offering him their HC gig.

Sounds like people just want him gone no matter what the circumstance.I can't imagine "better" schools would hire someone with a losing record this early in his career... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
