Let's Break Down the Candidates

[Veerman_12]

In lieu of Mizzou moving on from Barry Odom, who are the possible candidates.

Some people will point to the bowl ban and scholarship reduction, but a coach with any amount of foresight should realize this is an opportunity to coach SEC football as the only D1 school in a state with two large talent rich (well at least St. Louis is) metropolitan areas to recruit from. Find the right guy and this could be a great job.

Lol why in the hell is Art Briles on any list

 

[ChaoticFanatic]

I could see Mike Leach as being a great hire and think he would fit in well, but don’t see that even being remotely possible.

I don’t see him being much of a defensive mind would be my only reservation, but I don’t know enough about him to say that for sure

 

[Veerman_12]

Lol why in the hell is Art Briles on any list

1. Should people be forgiven or if they ever screw up should they be crucified and left for dead? Everyone is more than the worst thing they ever did.

2. The man can recruit and the man can coach, he needs a job and we have an opening.

when the worst thing you ever did is cover up RAPE then yes you should not be forgiven and left for dead. He will probably never coach again.

 

[Cards1968]

Harsin at Boise St makes financial sense and would come. Bad thing is he's out of pocket for another week, and I'm not sure Mizzou can afford to wait.

 

[Veerman_12]

Did he cover it up? Thought it was just complete lack of control or something like that?

In any case, you're right it's HIGHLY unlikely he's going to be the guy. Care to comment on any of the ones who might actually get the job?

After listening to Sherk's press conference, I would say they are looking for someone with a pretty dynamic pass offense. He stressed the necessity of putting buttts in the seats. So tell me they are looking for a winner who can entertain as well.They are down $6 mil/yr. every year since Odom took over.

They claim to be the only self sufficient program around and supposedly their goal is to turn over $20 mil/year to the administration. He also stated they hope to have a replacement within 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and they already have interests. Claimed they made the decision within the last 48 hrs. That means it has been discussed for quite some time before and I would say it has been in the search firms hands on a prelim basis for some time.

So Mike Leach?

 

[BearsCountry]

Dave Steckel would be an outstanding choice for the job. Get it done Jim Sterk!!!!

 

[Missouri Kid]

So Mike Leach?

He said they would favor someone with SEC experience who has HC or coordinator experience. Lets see, Kiffin?

 

[UNCLERICO22]

I would love to see Norvell in Columbia.

 

[HomeyR]

List 1: Campbell
List 2: Norvell or Littrell
List 3: Wilson or Harrell
List 4: None !

 

[USArmyMike]

Fleck, Leach, Mendenhall and Campbell in that order. My dark horse is Steve Sarkisian.

 

[Veerman_12]

List 1: Campbell
List 2: Norvell or Littrell
List 3: Wilson or Harrell
List 4: None !

You wouldn't take Eberflus?

 

[Missouri Kid]

Pretty good dark horse pick I would say.

 

[Duck_walk]

Big Game Bob is only 59. He likes columns.

 

[HomeyR]

You wouldn't take Eberflus?

He's good no doubt... but I want an offensive mind.

 

[Missouri Kid]

I like Leach but his offense just puts too much pressure on the defense, and that would be especially so in the SEC, IMO.

You realize there's not been a lot of defense played in the SEC this year right? Bama has been in more 49-42 games than I've ever seen a Saban coached team in.

LSU's Passing Game Coordinator is on that list somewhere.

Well, that's kind of my point. Defenses have enough pressure without playing behind an offense that uses up very little clock time.

 

[HomeyR]

Q: What about some very good coaches on the hot seat at some other places?

There’s a lot of noise (unfounded or not) surrounding Brian Kelly and Jim Harbaugh, for example.

I wouldn't want either one...

 

[Kenny56]

Leach is happy where he is at. Although, money talks!

 

[Veerman_12]

Leach is humorous but he really isn’t that great of a coach. He is on his way to wearing out his welcome in Pullman.

2 losing seasons in 18 years as a head coach...yeah he would be terrible.

 

[Kenny56]

2 losing seasons in 18 years as a head coach...yeah he would be terrible.

He’s worth the money just for the sound clips

 

[TripleOne]

Give me this guy

7. Billy Napier - Louisiana HC

Done more with less, which you have to do at Mizzou. Great pedigree as well.

 

[Veerman_12]

Gotta say, the more I read about Billy Napier, the more I like him. SEC background, coached under Saban and Dabo.

Mizzou needs to jump on him.

 

[knockemofftheball]

According to footballscoop Mizzou has these guys on the list. Some decent names but also guys that won't hurt the pocket book. https://footballscoop.com/news/update-at-missouri/

Dear lord...CoMo might implode if they hire one of those guys. Not sure it was wise to fire Odom if you're going with one of those guys. And I thought Odom was below average at best.

Willie fritz wouldn't be a bad hire if he could keep the roster intact and bring in a couple transfers especially at qb i could see it working out. I don't understand why josh heupel's name hasn't been thrown around at all though

You can't be serious....he covered up rape...Art is too rapey.

It's unclear exactly what he did or didn't cover up.

If Josh Heupel leaves UCF this offseason, his buyout is $10 million. Perhaps that could be negotiated down but that makes it very unlikely. Also, he doesn't really like doing the head coach type stuff. He's a little odd and I don't know how he would be as the face of an SEC program.

Ugh I like Healy, Fritz would be a great hire, Sarkisian pass, Anderson would be a good hire.

Missouri native, Greg Williams

That man uses the F-word the way Jackson Pollack used paint, masterfully, artistically, enthusiastically, and often.

Having said that, I'd fully endorse that choice.

 

[MIZZOU71]

What is wrong with Harsin from Boise?

Ouch. Just ouch. Evidently Sterk didn't have a hire made when he fired BO. That's a bit surprising. Assuming the thought is Norvell to FSU...Joey Freshwater/Lane Train to Arky...Healy to Ole Miss or MU...McElwain to the other...Harsin just working a raise? Dude...I don't get it. If you're Sterk, this hire is going to get you fired by the end of this basketball season. He's going to strikeout, and his basketball hire is going to win about 12 games in year three. Yikes.
