I don't think he gets a third year if they don't improve some. I don't think the fanbase could take a second year of 8-24 or something like that. He's going to have to get to double digit wins and probably 4 wins in conference.
Some of this is true, but there are other things one can point out that go against this:
No. Cow thinks they should be 20-10. He doesn't believe their talent level, size, and athleticism is awful compared to their opponents almost nightly. He doesn't believe FFH left a dumpster fire. He also believes that the team shouldn't suffer through injuries or suspensions. And to answer his inevitable question...Post has gotten better. Wright has gotten better. Shamburger has gotten better. Some players still refuse to buy in. They will be gone. Roster will see some major turnover. And guys like Cow will pi$$ and moan because the record won't be pretty next year either. MU "fans" that already want KA gone should realize this...For as big of a joke as he was (and continues to be), FFH was going to get a fourth year as MU HC. No matter the team progressively got worse under him, and players continually made the same boneheaded mistakes game after game after game. Three years into his tenure, not one person could identify what FFH's teams were about. No identity at all. In fact, that was their identity. He knew what he'd "built" was so bad it was going to get him fired after year four, so he left on his own. THAT GUY was going to get four years. Chill, and watch somebody build it the right way. And in three or four years, if it's still bad you get to move on. And save me the "it'll be so bad" no coach would want it crap. MU will have to do something they've not been willing to do...PAY. $3.5M would've gotten just about whomever they wanted the last time. But, as per usual, they went cheap.
Btw, that bad Mississipi State team had the two best players on the court. And you're right, they are bad. But that's how bad the talent level is at MU. I get you don't agree with me on that, but that fact alone should clue you in a bit. But, it won't. One thing I like about you, you're hard headed. A trait I can admire.
Then bump Pinkie when you hire a big-time bball coach. Or keep getting who they've been getting. The money is there. But for whatever reason, they decide to be small time. If Pinkie was about the success of the university athletic department, and not just the football program, you'd think he wouldn't get his panties in a bunch if a bball coach got paid like he did. Fact is, one of two things will have to happen to clean the mess up. CMA sort of did that, but left his own new mess (no recruits) when he went to Arky. FFH put a band aide over it for a short period, but left his own mess as well. MU faithful are either going to have to be patient for the next couple of years and see if KA can fix it long term and actually leave it in a good place for the next guy, or they're going to have to open up their pocketbooks for a home run hire to fix it immediately. And by immediately, I mean hiring someone that's a splash and an immediate hit with recruits. Truthfully, I don't see them doing either. But a new AD could change that. Hell, he did hire Kelvin Sampson.
Don't mention during that span that they lost many games to suspension, Gill-Ceaser has played hurt all year, and Clark was lost for the remainder of the season. I get it, it doesn't fit your agenda. You should go to Tigerboard and talk to Fiji. Or maybe you are Fiji...Fact remains, you're butt hurt they didn't get a name and that no-name ran off a player or two you thought could help. And you, and the rest of the world that demands instant results, use anything you can to fit your agenda. Your opinion and mine differ. I think, given the same amount of time FFH was given, KA will have the program in a spot that can sustain success. You disagree. And you bitch and moan about it. And you're an MU fan. And I'm not. Weird.
You could also have shared this one again, the story hasn't changed that this team has shown zero improvement and is going to finish last or almost last in the SEC
Anyone who wants to defend KA at this point is a joke. He's not delivered on any of the promises that the KA defenders promised hed bring. Defense? It's worse than ever. Toughness? This team is weaker than tissue paper. Competitiveness? Not a single top 150 win and blowout losses to any team with a pulse. Recruiting? Heck, he can't even keep the half-decent players he inherited here. Fundamentals? This team is 98th in the country in turnovers and 273rd in rebounding.
