Winning a Championship Means Zero and Is a Waste Of Our Time

Sure is broken...it was nice to watch another Herd win, but it was hard to really enjoy knowing the head coach was counting the minutes to get out of here.

That and knowing next year we’ll probably be playing against most of the players that just won us a championship. It’s a weird feeling.

This is exactly what you all were totally okay with.
MU used as a stepping stone for a young, energetic HC to win a championship then leave.

You simply can't take the reality that MU isn't a destination job for anyone...that people actually may not like the city, program, salary, etc.

The manner in which they leave isn't important honestly, he really wanted out and got out.
I will give him credit, he left MU in a better position than he found it.
MU had played, and lost, their conference title game...he stuck around and coached and steamrolled to win a conference championship.

Then again, according to the title of this thread, championships are meaningless.

There was a time when we could go to Columbus and could, and should, beat OSU. Those days are likely gone forever for the reasons many think the game is broken.

Somehow Boise State has crashed the playoff party this year.

The previous three years Boise State had a coach with a .611 winning percentage that they fired. That was evidently unacceptable to them. They fired that coach. His replacement is 3 points against #1 Oregon from an undefeated season and has a first round bye in the Playoff.

For comparison Huff has had a .615 winning percentage and many here are acting like MU just lost Vince Lombardi... The sun will come up tomorrow. Just ask Boise State...

How are we in better shape? I would argue that we will have a far inferior roster on 1/1/26 than we had on 1/1/21. As a matter of fact I would bet any amount on that.

Porter, Neal, Abraham, Gilmore, Alston, Nazeeh Johnson and on and on. He got a ton of young talent when he got here. After the Portal this year what will we have left?

MU will still be defending champions.
They couldn't say that when he got here.

As for the rest...it doesn't seem too crazy to think the roster could be reloaded in an off-season.

Absolutely could reload or could be a massive flop. Only time will tell.

So right. Smaller schools can never achieve consistency. If a small school does well for a season, then a bigger fish swoops in and buys their coach and players. Being successful only means you have to start all over from scratch.

You really think it's limited to the smaller schools?
It's not.
