I would shift away from Andy and Cornell. I say this with a great deal of appreciation for what they have done and the work and recruiting and success we have had.
I would start fresh with energy and enthusiasm. Not sure who I would choose, but I would go with stable guys who will be around, but who resonate better with this generation. Not that Andy nor Cornell don't. But it is change time. So who to choose?
STL? They don't relate to the South. Don't use Joe Jon
Barry Odom - If I was the head coach after that class, I would personally take STL and go to every damn high school with O'Fodile and start over.
O'Fodile?
Walters?
Brad Davis?
Where are the STL people?
KC?
Walters would be my choice and the Colorado thing is at least kinda KC....
Where are the KC people?
In general as I looked at the staff and was figuring out where they would recruit?
Where are Pinkel's players? Where is the tradition? Pinkel's program breeds coaches. They are everywhere. Why do we have ZERO of them????????????????
Just look at the Staff and ask yourself who on that Staff bleeds MISSOURI and black and gold? Odom, O'Fodile, and Hill. Not sure this Staff construction is the way I would have gone.
