Put the right staff in place, and age becomes a non-issue. Assistants do the heavy lifting, and Altman is there to close the deal. And the guy can’t flat-out coach.
NEW STORY COACHING SEARCH RUMOR MILL: DAY 1 (1:16 PM UPDATE)
- Thread starter GabeD
- Start date
My concern with him is that his recruiting success is tied directly to this. He certainly does not have a dynamic personality, but on the other hand he did have relative success at Creighton w/o Nike.....who knows.
Yep and college basketball coaches are continuing to work much later into their years than previously.
Boeheim is almost 80. Coach K is 75. Many on here were pining for Pitino and he turns 70 this year.
I'm not sure Kim English should be the choice. But since a dinner his freshman year I have been convinced that he very well may be at some time. I can't remember what the event was but it was at the Alumni Center my wife and I were at a table that got a Mizzou guest. It was Kim. Freshman BB player from Baltimore comes into a tableful of people on average at least 30 years his senior. Without overtly trying to he had everyone's attention in 5 minutes. His ability to relate to so many people in such a short time was to quote Gary Pinkel, amazing. Not a single look at me conversation from him. Humble, appreciative of being at the table and instantly relatable to people he had very little in common with, everyone there was blown away. My wife still talks about it as an unforgettable moment. I told Kim, after your Mizzou and NBA career I'm looking forward to your time as Mizzou's Head Coach. It wasn't completely in jest.
I don't know if now is the right time. But it might be.

This ain’t football. A rebuild doesn’t need to take multiple years.
I know Mizzou will have a limited amount of NIL funding, but I believe some coaches will work better with it than others. This leads me to worry about anyone over 50 with more than 10 years experience in the industry being willing to fully exploit what NIL can bring.
Gabe, do you have any insight into how the different coaches may handle NIL? Do you think older guys will be less likely to maximize the benefit?

If I was doing that I’d put their picture on the front page and say “could Mizzoubturn to Dana Altman?” I flat out said I think both are unlikely. Either your reading comprehension needs work or you don’t understand what “fishing for clicks” mean. You guys all already pay me. I get the same amount whether you click on every thread or no threads.
Again it’s day one
You are the only one that thinks Sampson is a realistic possibility. He’s not
You were a coach? 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry! Couldn't resist the temptation.

obvious improvement by Kim regardless of his record this year.
Until we hire someone else, I am going to stay on the Sean Miller train. I will try to find his phone number and ask him to reach out to DRF. Sit tight.
Mccasland and golden are as hot a rising name coaches as out there and for good reason.
To be fair that was like 7 people on PowerMizzou who probably shit themselves and cry anytime they see their own shadow
Mizzou Mule
Hall of Famer
I do not know and it's the same with you cowboy. I never said the word "realistic", so don't put words in my mouth. Shoot him down if you want. And BTW, others have liked the suggestion of Sampson. "You are the only one..." is solid bull.
Why not throw his name in with the likes of Drew, Miller, etc??? We're all spit-balling here. Did you attack Gabe for reaching on his hot board???
Shove-it little man.
As posted in another thread, I'm told by a colleague Mizzou has reached out to Baylor assistant Jerome Tang.

An intriguing possibility. Drew’s right-hand guy. Great recruiter who knows the landscape in Texas, where the talent is deep and tremendous. And look at the success Baylor has had in the transfer portal. Believe Tang was a finalist for the Texas Tech job. Great backstory too.As posted in another thread, I'm told by a colleague Mizzou has reached out to Baylor assistant Jerome Tang.

Jerome Tang Baylor interim head coach
Jerome Tang will man the sideline on Saturday as the head coach of the No. 2 team in the country, a life-defining moment made possible 17 years ago by a slab of ribs, three phone calls and Scott Drew’s unwillingness to accept “no” for an answer. Tang, who has been Drew’s wingman...

I have definite assistant coach PTSD. Would take me a while to get on board.
I’d be surprised if Tang wants to coach against Drew and his Bulldogs twice a year.
Checked with someone I know familiar with OU on the Moser stuff. He told me (paraphrasing) that he wouldn't completely dismiss it but it doesn't make much sense and he thinks Moser is pretty happy at OU. So I continue to put this in the "Doesn't pass the smell test but we never say no without at least checking into it" category.
Good luck to DRF with selling the Tang hire to the fanbase if that's the direction they go.
Like it matters who she hires, people are gonna bitch and act like they know more than they do.
Top assistant and recruiter from a program that just won a national title? I’m not saying sign me up just yet but I don’t think the sale would be as hard as you think it would be.
More of the no HC experience. Yes, that is a hard sell for a program looking to get going again.
And yet people are thrilled at the idea of a guy who coached for one year and went 14-16.
