How much will they pay him?
I just cant see leaving the Big 12 for C-USA.

Anderson makes $800k right now and his wife is from Memphis.

I wasn't worried about the UGA or Bama jobs but I'm worried now.

Ugh.

I'd love to see Memphis get Anderson if all of these rumors are true. I was a fan of the old Arkansas teams back in the day, and I love to watch Anderson's teams play (even when they're running Memphis out of the gym).

I want Anderson to stay at Mizzou for personal reasons.

If you can't beat him, hire him.

The thought of Nolan behind the bench sickens me a little. Anderson is a good coach and so was Nolan.

PowerMizzou which is the MU Rivals site is stating that as of 3:30 ct there is been no contact between Missouri and Memphis regarding permission to speak to CMA.

So you'd be on board with this, Squid? Anderson seems like he wouldn't miss a beat recruiting-wise.

That would open up another good job at Mizzou... I don't think they were anticipating having to go through a search for another coach.

In some irony, I could see Billy G getting the Mizzou job if Anderson does leave.

I like Anderson, just wouldn't want Nolan sitting anywhere in the arena.

Re: Memphis gets permission to talk to Mike Anderson

I can see Anderson leaving Mizzou for Memphis because first and foremost MU is a football school and the university will only pay up to 2 million a year to its bball coach and the offer Anderson got from UGA is 2.4 million a year. Even though the Big 12 is a better conference for bball (as compared to the SEC and C-USA), I think Anderson would find both offers from UGA and Memphis attractive since in both cases he would get more money and in the case of Memphis, the bball program would be first priority. I can only imagine how scary Memphis would be with Anderson's style of play and the talent pool available to him down there. As a Mizzou fan I predict that by the end of the week we will hear an announcement that Anderson is leaving. Then MU will hire someone who is fundamentally sound but whose style of play doesn't fit the talent and athleticism of the returning players Anderson recruited. Say hello to another 16-16 season like last year.

$800k to $2mil, it's a no brainer even if it is CUSA.

I wouldn't care whether Nolan was there or not. I just want to see some good basketball at Memphis. I don't scan the crowd for ex-coaches during the game.

Of course, I may have to if we end up with another Tic Price era (which is where we may be headed).

Oh, and I just saw on ESPN where Georgia has officially offered MA the job there.
