While this year was dreadful, I don't think there is enough evidence to justify firing Gates in light of his outstanding first year. It would set a bad precedent to where it may difficult to have any coach agree to come to the University with the knowledge that at any moment they could be replaced.

I think we'd all be ecstatic if they'd have hired Cal - TheRoyalTiger MU - 4/10 14:45:13

Cal has recruited great everywhere he’s been - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/10 14:39:26

Cuonzo Martin was the best hire in MU history - LamarFrazier MU - 4/10 14:18:32

There is not a comparison to Martin(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 4/10 14:46:36

yes and no. disappointed that gates didn't work out because - phrejd KC - 4/10 10:58:15

Here's the way I look at it - Eggs MU - 4/10 11:14:12

When he moves on he names his successor(nm) - alstl MU - 4/10 15:18:39

can't disagree with any of that (nm) - phrejd KC - 4/10 14:13:43

those are my thoughts as well(nm) - TigerA MU - 4/10 11:30:22

If KU fired Self and hired Gates would you be disappointed?(nm) - alstl MU - 4/10 10:49:57

KU doesn't make DEI hires. They care about winning. (nm) - zounami MU - 4/10 15:46:28

yes, DG has a higher ceiling than current Cal at Mizzou(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/10 09:59:28

Not sure about that. Cal immediately brings in some high - Carlos Rossi KC - 4/10 10:42:11

His ceiling has not yet been impacted. Only his - alwaysright MU - 4/10 11:59:26

It really is stunning think about it - Genco98 MU - 4/10 10:58:35

Cal is 65 - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/10 10:56:35

People on here said Kruger was over the hill. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 4/10 11:11:47

He really was good - Genco98 MU - 4/10 11:44:03

he would have been 60 if we hired him before KA - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/10 11:12:47

Lower floor as well(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 4/10 09:59:49

Absolutely. Cal would operate at about a 7 at MU. Gates - alwaysright MU - 4/10 11:58:04

He is basically a Tech Stock, Cal is a blue chip stock(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 4/10 10:00:57

at Mizzou? At age 65?(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/10 10:04:24

a couple top 4 conf finishes out of him in the next - TigerA MU - 4/10 10:07:27

why would you assume he could finish in the top 4 here? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/10 10:08:56

this whole thing is an assumption. he never finished - TigerA MU - 4/10 10:12:59

at Kentucky, yes - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/10 10:15:45

Now we are back to the same problem - DevilsAdvocate KC - 4/10 10:17:58

I am about to throw my hands up and say Mizzou will never - DevilsAdvocate KC - 4/10 10:19:14
