So I peruse the STLtoday forums from time to time, mainly for Blues discussion, and I'll occasionally pop into the Mizzou forum...clicked on the Gill-Caesar transfer thread and boy did I find some gems...

And when it invariably flames out (because there is no amount of time or resources that will salvage this hire), they'll double down on that argument while simultaneously blaming the players for being bad seeds that didn't want to play under a coach that demanded accountability. They'll blame everyone but the true son and say that Mack Rhodes screwed him. Being in Columbia, the Norm Acolytes are easy to find and hard to ignore. They are their very own class of delusional. The old saying applies strongly to these folks - "Frequently wrong...never in doubt". They're the worst kind of influential. The good news is that this is the last hire they'll have any influence over. This is a purifying fire. It's all over but the crying for the lot of blue hairs that have held this program in purgatory for far FAR too long. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I just hope we hired the right AD to make the call.

You can see this coming from a mile away. I give zero ****s about these folks. They're dinosaurs. With Alden's ouster, they don't have anyone's ear anymore. All they can do is throw money at the problem but even money hasn't been the issue of late. The Tigers have the athletic budget to bring in a quality coach. They simply didn't have the political will to do so.

I'd just like to know what the **** Anderson's system is supposed to be. I couldn't see anything that looked like a cohesive approach.
Those comments are ****ing hilarious and typical of the defenders on PowerMizzou, who are convinced that Kim Anderson walked into the worst situation of all time. Well, guess what... maybe he shouldn't have booted Cameron Biedschied for testing positive for pot. Maybe he shouldn't have booted Torren Jones. He ****ed his roster, himself, before a game was ever played. Maybe he shouldn't have told Danuel House "Sorry, we don't take transfers." Maybe he shouldn't have continued to force minutes to wastes of space, sperm and oxygen like Post and Rosburg, and instead just gone small and pushed tempo. This "Woe is us, he's the best we could do because that big, bad [word they're thinking but will only say at home] screwed everything up" attitude needs to die. The only limiting factors on the Missouri basketball hire were the Mikes Alden and Middleton, whose reputations pushed a lot of good coaches away, and who consistently aimed low on coaching hires.

A good outcome would be him returning a Josh Kroenke-like career.

He also could have tried to keep Kevin Punter (but we don't take transfers!) I'm just sick of the excuses.

It's ridiculous. I love the "his roster sucked" defense. His roster sucked because he made bad decisions. It's like defending someone who murdered his parents by saying "he's an orphan".

The nature of the theft was a huge problem, and there was another issue with him as well. I don't know if Anderson even found out about that one.

These titillating posts that hint at seedy information but don't deliver it outright give me online blueballs.

I think the best part about this hire are the assistants.
"Ooh, he got the guy from Huntington Prep. Ooh, the coach of the St. Louis Eagles. That will get us inroads with all the St. Louis talent." Is there any way we can kill John Wick's dog and blame it on Anderson? |
