I really can't believe how stupid the alumni were to think this was going to be a good hire. So many red flags, mind blowing how dumb people are.
First of all he won a D2 championship at the D2 equivalent of Texas or Ohio State. UCM, other than Grand Valley State, has the most resources of any D2 school in the nation (Lindenwood could start challenging them IMO). Mainly with JUCOs and transfers.
Second as the lead recruiter in the mid to late 90s when a mass exodus of top Missouri prep talent, didn't sign with Mizzou. Why you expect during the younger years, you couldn't get the top talent - why when you are older? Just look at this list:
Larry Hughes
Chris Carrawell
Loren Woods
Ryan Robertson
Derek Hood
Tyrone Lue
JaRon Rush
Gary Buchanan
Cookie Belcher
You think Mizzou could have won something during those years with that talent?
Third, even with his pretty solid resume he never got considered for any other head coaching job. If he was really worth a damn, MVC school would have scooped him. Seriously that's the stepping stone conference for basketball coaches. Not a single one of them wanted him.
Just really, really stupid on the part of the booster trying to get some nostalgia without thinking it through.
