There’s not much sadness that Mack Rhoades is leaving Mizzou
It’s never a dull day in Columbia, Mo.
After less than 18 months as Missouri’s athletic director, Mack Rhoades is leaving the school to become Baylor’s AD. Rhoades’ time at Mizzou has seen trouble and/or turnover with many of the Tigers’ sports teams.
While there were a few people sad to see Rhoades leaving, there were many, many more who were happy or stunned that he would go to Baylor, which was rocked by a sexual-assault scandal. Some of those people who sounded off are current or former Mizzou athletes.

Good riddance, Mack Rhoades. Heading to the only school in a worse position publicly than Mizzou. How about that.

That Mack Rhoades era at Mizzou will not be remembered as a time of excellence.

Mack Rhoades left Missouri for BAYLOR in the middle of a rape scandal. The University of Missouri is an absolute mess right now.

Mack Rhoades thought that the situation at Baylor was better than the one at Mizzou. Let that sink in.

So how bad are things at Missouri that Mack Rhoades is going to bail for Baylor just a few months after hiring a new head coach?
