Everything that he brings to the table is eminently replaceable. There's no reason why Missouri can't hire an elite recruiter. If you can get a #5 class at Ole Miss, you can do it at Missouri.

While I think he's very replaceable at this point, it's not fair to ascribe a representable track record of success to luck.
He built a program, and now it's probably time to turn it over to someone else before he also tears it down.
