Press Conference?

[Pharve]

So we paid (know idea if this is all true) 9 million for Wojo to leave and a 7 million buyout to UT plus a 3 million contract salary to hire Smart that is 19 million in total that MU shelled out for a new coach.

Hope its worth it.

You're also double counting the $3M salary, that was being paid to someone, either Wojo, Smart, or someone else.  Assuming the UT buyout was $0 the incremental costs are only whatever settlement was reached w/ Wojo, likely lower-but-no-higher than $9M.

He's had it since at least yesterday

No. Your numbers are off.

9 million was paid but not by the university. That was mostly covered by donors.
Shaka's buyout to be fired was 7 million. That doesn't necessarily mean that his buyout to be hired away was 7 million. Given donor pressure to fire Smart, the buyout was negligible
I wouldn't assume that Shaka is getting 3 million a year. We won't have the tangible proof for a few years, but I would guess that it is significantly lower than that

Overall... it's likely a ( very ?) good
hire, but he was obviously being
run out of TEXAS

They wanted him gone.  They got their wish ... I hope he can get MU back to the NCAAT and winning games (!?)
ASAP

GO WARRIORS!

So does Shaka go on CBS/TBS at half time with his MU gear telling us what Moser has to do to win the tournament next weekend?

Hopefully he wears the MU pin.

[naginiF]

Shaka needs to shave the head again.

IMO, and I know I'm in the minority here, Shaka w/hair >>>> Shaka bald

[4everwarriors]

+1.  Love the build out.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Agreed.

As someone who has rocked some interesting COVID hairstyles I fully support Shaka growing out the flow.

Given the grown-out Shaka-Lock(a)s, coupled with his on-air gig,
would he use NewsAnchor Hair Wash?

Funny marketing on the bottle:

1."A man with a thick head of hair does not need a motivational quote to start the day."

2."Your hair is a weapon."

3."Not for clowns."

4."Directions: pretty sure you can figure this out."

As to quote 1, herein lies the Wojo mystery

Shaka should just grow out a fro that pays homage to the 70's.  He instantaneously becomes a conversation subject with it and his national presence grows.  That's untapped recruiting power right there.

He also needs to add the '70s terrycloth headband as well.
