What is the half life on the respect that you get for winning a National Championship?
What is the half life if you are Jerrit Elliott?

Before we all get into the groove of calling out coaches for the transfers, remember that these next few years are going to be f'ed up with the transfers because of the extra year of eligibility. Some are transferring because they have graduated and are moving on to graduate school. Some are taking advantage of the extra year to move into beach volleyball. Some are transferring because of the logjam on the roster. and some transfer due to the head coach being a power abusing racist! OK, we get your point. Mine is that only looking at the number of transfers in the next few years doesn't tell the story.

I can tell you that from my experience in talking to about 10 people either in or close to the program they all have the same story about him. If people (not you) want to side with Taylor that’s on them but I won’t stop calling him out

He owns the Big 12, contends for a title nearly every year, has good kids. It’s impossible for his job to be any safer. If they fired Elliot, they’d be also firing 25 other coaches. ANY talk of his job being on the hot seat is insane.

Josh IS racist and abusive, as recounted by all his POC players who transferred out. You need to stop defending the indefensible. Have you reached out to Missouri administration? Or the Mizzou student newspaper? If you know enough to assert these things as facts, expose him. I want him fired too. So you think school administrators who are always in CYA mode and a student newspaper are more credible than the actual victims? SMDH!!!

So you think school administrators who are always in CYA mode and a student newspaper are more credible than the actual victims? SMDH!!! Absolutely not! But I think racists need to be weeded out and posting vague messages in an instagram post or on IG stories that disappear after 24 hours aren't the ways you bring attention to a situation. Newspapers can amplify their voices and administrators are ultimately the ones who need to be convinced, so I think those are the two most effective routes to take.

The only place Jerritt is in danger of losing his job is on this board.

Perhaps you’re right and the administration found no wrong doing, perhaps they’re just taking their time to build a rock solid case due to the family ties they might need to uproot. Either way, I’d imagine both seats are fairly warm unless the Mizzou coaches are above reproach. Or, alternatively, the adminstrators who put a guy with 2 years of coaching experience in charge of a Top 25 SEC program because he was the old coach's nephew-in-law really want to avoid putting extra scrutiny on that decision. That would be the AD that just got fired? (Jim Sterk)? and replaced by the second woman of color AD in the SEC? Somehow, I suspect scrunity on that decision is no longer a concern....

Cathy George, Michigan State. Elite 8 in 2017 and results slipping each year since then, down to Rutgers/Maryland level. Time to give her a push out and say she decided to retire. Eh idk, she has a way of pulling a fantastic team out of nowhere every few years. If they’re suddenly top 10, Regional Final caliber this year or next, it’ll be right on schedule.

I remember when we thought this thread was premature until Election Day.
Then we tried to get people to hold off until Columbus Day, or even the start of conference play.
I feel like only a year or two ago people were looking for scalps after Labor Day.
Now we cannot even wait until opening day?
Seriously, as of this minute, every coach in the country is undefeated in a pandemic. Nobody is on a hot seat for on court reasons yet. And if there are legitimate off court concerns that make them unfit for the job, then it shouldn't matter what they do on the court this season.
There is going to be more than enough movement after the season to fill two jobs threads with lies, gossip and innuendo. So I'll make my annual Pollyanna plea to wait a minute... So can we please hold off on firing anyone for losing until they actually lose a conference match?
