Not sure why this is in the carousel thread unless Pearl stands to lose his job or quit, but the columnist is spot on.

But he is funny (which he is, I will give that) and paints himself orange with the students.  Sigh

That assistant coaches don't do as well in major coaching jobs then already major coaches switching from one major job to another....is that the question?

yes

Yet another outstanding column by our own Nancy Armour, recipient of the 2019 MU Communicator of the Year Award.

Fox was successful at Nevada - 3 straight NCAA appearances when they were still in the WAC.  He struck while the iron was hot and took a big job where he really didn't fit and there wasn't great institutional support.

That said, Cal could have done much better. Cheaping out once again as that program is in incredible debt (the football stadium won't be paid off for another 90 years).

Yes

Yes.

Yes, which is why I think for them it is a decent hire considering the predicament they are in along with other constraints.

decent, but I think they would have been better served by hiring Russ Turner.

[Cheeks]

yes

I'll tell you what, if I burn an hour of my day tomorrow to look at the assistant coaches hired say 5 to 10 years ago that went right into a major job vs major coaches that moved from one job to another and we look at those results we can discuss...deal?

The source, is my opinion, but I'm very confident it is going have more assistant coaches falling out then major coaches (e.g Cal from Memphis to KY, Barnes from Tex to Ten, etc) switching to other major roles.

It is a really nice stadium though. The view of the bay from the concourse is as good as it gets.

Little bit of a fun fact that may help to explain Bruce's interaction with the students. Besides being a master salesman, as an undergrad at BC, Bruce was the eagle mascot while a student there.

Buzz to A&M.....

[HutchwasClutch]

A&M ready to offer Buzz reportedly at least $3.5 million.

Will be interesting to see what he does.

Looks like Houston is preparing a big offer to keep Sampson.

Buzz will have shorter honeymoon at A&M. Doubt if discussing five year plans.

If they offered him good enough money  and a long term, I suspect he would jump at the opportunity.

Of all the things going on in CBB, Nancy writes about BBQ's and recordings of rival recruits? They have a Kansas assistant on tape talking about payment issues with Zion and no one talks about it. Coach K calls it a blip.

Exactly.  Of all the transgressions to be outraged over, that's what she chooses.  Ridiculous.

Coach K tries not to coach against his guys ( Exception is Jeff Capel at Pitt) don't know how Wojo feels.

Follow the Money.

Follow the Money.

Buzz will have been making more money at MU in 2020 than we will be at A&M in 2020.

Mike Brey, hey.

[Loose Cannon]

Might be true, but how about 2021-22-23-24 are MU pockets as deep as A&M?

[MUfan12]

Until there's an extension in place, I assume we'll see Wojo mentioned for most every HM opening.

[Loose Cannon]

Mike Brey, hey.

You're right, I should have said Guys that played for him.
