CBS Sports: Missouri's Frank Haith has emerged as a serious candidate at Tulsa

 

Haith just finished his third season at Missouri by missing the NCAA Tournament with a team talented enough to make it, and Mizzou fans have undeniably turned on him because of underachieving on the court and problems off of the court -- most recently the arrest and dismissal of Louisville transfer Zach Price. Sources told CBSSports.com that Tulsa is willing to pay in excess of $1 million for Haith, and that he's seriously considering going because he knows one more bad season at Missouri could be his last.

It's possible, but he's just one more bad season away from getting fired.

Awesome news for Mizzou. Haith is terrible.

With all due respect, but, Tulsa?

I think this is more of a Trent Johnson situation, downgrading because he knew he was one bad season away from being fired.

Does Duke have nepotism laws?... I do think that's close to career suicide if that move didn't work out.

Agreed.

 

I just thought he'd take Tennessee. He played at Ole Miss...Brother played at Towson by the way.

That last hire from Louisiana Tech didn't quite work out for UTenn. I don't think that factored into his decision too much, who knows? He is probably holding out for a bigger job like you mentioned.

Why would you fire him in May?

There's probably more to this one since they just announced he was coming back last month.
