Can't really isolate the mistake to hiring Haith

because although it was a questionable hire he then proved those doubts wrong and won NCOY for a tremendously coached season. The mistakes were incurred during his tenure by not supporting him during the Miami investigation and then eroding the support from there to the degree he saw Tulsa as a superior job to Mizzou. Even under the premise we were gifted a mulligan for his hire when he walked, not seizing that opportunity with the recently acquired wealth inflow from the SEC network and making a major hire was waving the white flag. The last few months of the Haith tenure and then the first six months of the Kim tenure is absolutely when this program died, and it didn't have to be that way and in fact took a lot of doing to make it as bad as it ended up being.
