regarding Cuonzo's coaching will be answered this season. There is no doubt he inherited a challenging situation and was working with a rather non-ideal roster situation the last three years. There is also no doubt he did a subpar at best and probably more accurately very bad job of coaching them the last three seasons.

However instead of continuing on the same path he fully reset. Either he has now accumulated the type of roster he can coach and that more ideally suits his desired style of play, or he has no real vision and this isn't going to work out. That is the big unanswered question, and the answer is forthcoming shortly. I don't rule out at all the possibility that we are surprisingly much better than almost everyone is expecting. In fact, if Cuonzo is a good coach almost any other alternative scenario would be the surprising outcome because he should know what he is doing and what he needs to be successful.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

If we get to 17 wins I’d be very highly surprised - Bump834 MU - 10/25 12:09:54

If we win games by 1 are we good? If we lose by 1 are bad?(nm) - oldtgr MU - 10/25 12:23:57

+/- should be within 2 games of .500 (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 12:15:23

Really will boil down to specials teams and managing - Fred G. Sanford USA - 10/25 11:34:58

ku & Illini take us this yr and maybe Utah, nm - MU-TULSA MU - 10/25 09:53:55

KU and Illini should.Utah win would be an upset in my opine(nm) - oldtgr MU - 10/25 11:36:16

Mizzou should beat Utah. - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 09:56:02

i thought the same for a lot of games last year, so a bit of - MU-TULSA MU - 10/25 10:08:01

We should definitely beat Utah if we are a decent team. - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 10:12:44

Not great. I count about 12 to 14 total wins. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 10/25 09:28:45

You're still drunk from the chefs loss.....nm - tigertix MU - 10/25 08:55:04

With an almost entirely new roster how can anybody - alstl MU - 10/25 07:43:28

The easiest thing to predict is that they'll struggle - HissingPrigs77 MU - 10/25 09:53:09

That's a good point. I think that we can safely predict - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 10/25 07:59:45

I agree. I think in large part many of the questions - FIJItiger MU

I tend to agree, mostly. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 10/25 09:03:18

Just the last 3 years, his first season I think he did - FIJItiger MU

CM's history is that his teams are only as good as his - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 11:12:08

So does that mean that if he is not "almost KA level," - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 10/25 11:26:44

You don't get credit for fixing a roster that you yourself - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 11:36:19

I agree about the blame for the roster reset. That - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 10/25 11:41:53

I think he is a better coach than KA and the floor for him - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 11:47:35

I can agree with that. I'm not quite as down on him as you - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 10/25 11:51:30

The main problem I have with this current roster is that CM - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 11:59:24

Wouldn't Dru Smith, Kassius Robertson, Pinson, Geist all - FIJItiger MU

Wait no history of finding players that others overlooked? - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 12:16:40

Not for me. .500 in your 5th year at a program is terrible - FIJItiger MU

what about the last two years under that premise? - FIJItiger MU

- 10/25 11:25:11

In 17-18 he had Kass, Barnett, Jontay, Tilmon, Puryear and - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 11:40:34

17-18 was the most talented Mizzou team - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 11:28:33

No, that is absurdly false (nm) - FIJItiger MU

This is true for almost every coach. - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 11:21:19

Agree. I think we go 10-3 noncon, 9-9 in SEC, and - FIJItiger MU

- 10/25 07:21:18

Cuonzo will be retained after this year even if we go 10-20 - HissingPrigs77 MU - 10/25 09:27:48

Disagree. Surely he would quit if that happened, but if not - FIJItiger MU

Tilmon didn’t play against Georgia (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 09:38:36

We still lost to the worst team in the SEC. Tilmon or not - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 10:11:44

The nose dive started right when - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 10:20:17

If we were a decent team we win those games with or without - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 10:39:51

It was definitely about Tilmon - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 10:50:34

The team quit on CM. You could see it in the effort and you - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 11:13:44

Is that why several had improved stats? - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/25 11:22:06

Improved what stats?(nm) - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/25 11:42:05
