QUOTES:
Again, this isn’t even close to the majority of fans speaking. Most Tiger fans are trusting of Martin, especially after the job he did in his first year. However, we’d all be lying if we said it wasn’t frustrating to see Missouri start 2-6 in conference.
However, context suggests that Missouri is right where it needs to be. Year two of most SEC rebuilds results in mediocrity, while year three represents the leap forward. Even then, Martin took over a program in more disarray than any of his peers. Would you blame him if the ship took four years to completely right?
This isn’t a judgment on Cuonzo Martin’s long-term future with the Tigers. No one is qualified to be doing that yet, even if there are reasons to hope. It is, however, a call to perspective; a call to consider the context.
