Anderson was good at UAB. He was food at Missouri. What's holding him back at Arkansas.

Is this a trick question?

I said he is a good coach. I don't think he's as as good as Nolan. And I don't think he's taking anyone to a final four or championship. Just my opinion.

The AD has held the basketball program back.

It was on shaky ground after Nolan went out, it was looking to rebound after receiving sanctions for incidents that the football and track program participated.

Frank then fricked up the next two coaching hires, while putting funding behind football and behind baseball in the pecking order.

It took over a decade to let the program disintegrate, it was going to take more than a year or two for it to bounce back, especially being last in the sec arms race in basketball at the time, as well as facing sanctions via the apr thanks to the thugs pel brought to the hill.

The practice facility was completed two years after it was promised to be done when CMA took the job, it has to come after the ipf for baseball or vanhorn was going to continue to not win championships. He through a bitch fit and got the backing of certain boosters to get his done first so his players would be warm in February.

As of now, the program is again on firm ground with the apr, is towards the top of the sec in the arms race while recruiting is looking better than it has in 20 years with the next two classes coming up. This was a large part of the job Long hired Mike to do, just as he had done at UAB and cleaned up mizzou post Snyder. If he is replaced he will leave the program in much better shape for the next guy, just as he done at his prior two stops. Again this was a large part of the job he was hired to do, just as Bert was hired to clean up Petrino's mess within he program and with the APR. unfortunately most coaches who do his for schools are fired before they can reap the benefits of their work, but the next guy it's the ground running if the right guy is hired, wrong guy and often programs find themselves in a perpetual cycle of change and "rebuilding".
