Last week I did what I could to write a pretty convincing argument for why the Missouri job is a good one. Now comes Part Two, which is less myopic but hopefully rooted in reality. We’ll talk about the challenges any basketball coach at Missouri will face and what can and cannot be overcome.
The Missouri job is a good one, but there are a lot of good jobs in college basketball, and most of the time the difference between a great job and just a decent job is hiring success. Great jobs have a history of great coaching or hiring the right person at the right time.
