Like I was telling a buddy of mine, the worst thing we ever did with Yost was promote him. It would've been great to keep him on board as the QB coach, where he could turn up the charm and recruit his ass off. But he was the QB coach during the best QB era in Mizzou history, so you owe him the chance to fail, I suppose.
Oh well. This has surely been a lousy month for Mizzou. Here's hoping they're able to get the bleeding stopped, bring in a premier OC and get the thing heading in the right direction again.

I'm a big coach Kul fan, and that probably colors my opinions a little bit.
He's the primary decision maker on whether they offer a DLman or not, and I think his track record is pretty peerless. He's found a TON of high-end guys that were not rated as high-end guys. And he has had nice success in Texas in the past.
I think Ford's a good recruiter, but the separation for me comes from a few areas:
1) Mizzou is TRYING in St. Louis now
2) Mizzou is much better
3) Ford is black
I think those factors - outside of Ford's control -have a lot to do with his success in St. Louis.
