State of the program speech. Only questions you have to ask yourself is, can he right the ship and can he do it before all support abandons him?

We'll see.

That sounds like a man on the edge.

Normally, I wouldn't say it's the right move to fire a guy in year 2, but they are truly terrible right now and are worse than last year.

Not just that, if you're going to fire your DC after week 2 then I think it's unreasonable to call for patience from all your critics. You've already sent everyone the message that the ship is sinking. Everything is on him right now.

Some people just aren't cut out to be a head coach.

He arguably has one of the top, if not the best QB and RB in the SEC. No more excuses. We are getting murdered at home by everyone. I wonder how long the university leaders will endure this debacle?

They really can't afford to be patient Medic. They have to fill that stadium the rest of the season and they have to inspire people to pay for the renovations on the docket. If I were Mizzou, I'd hire Les Miles today to come in and improve the Tigers. And, I'd let Les have the authority to change assistants as he felt it was needed. He's 64 and could spend two or three years building the infrastructure of the program back up and give Mizzou plenty of time to search for the right man.

Right now the right man wouldn't take a chance on Missouri. Let Les make them fundamentally sound, and build up your recruiting infrastructure and you are Miles ahead, pun intended. Why Les? He coached at Oklahoma State and L.S.U. which are two key recruiting grounds to Mizzou. And he recruited Texas well.

True. I wonder if he would take the job. Our previous coach had a real knack for getting great results from 3 star recruits. Many coaches don't.

By Les's own words he misses coaching and being part of a team family. So....yes!

This is also year three or four of Mizzou playing bad football. Pinkel's final season was significantly worse than the season before but was covered up by the protests, him standing by the players and his retirement.

Odem might lose the locker room soon, if not already. Les would be a perfect mid season hire to right this ship
