More Speculation: Anderson Likely Staying At Mizzou, But…

 Send This Story To A Friend

The good folks at PowerMizzou.com — the Rivals site covering Missouri — have posted a story today claiming that “a few different people with connections around Missouri” have told the site that “(Mike) Anderson is staying and there’s not much to talk about.”

However, according to the site, Anderson’s players have not been told anything at this point.  They’ve not heard that their coach is leaving and they’ve not heard that he’s staying.  And that seems to indicate something is percolating behind closed doors between Arkansas AD Jeff Long and Anderson’s agent, Jimmy Sexton.  If Anderson plans to stay put, why wouldn’t he tell his players not to worry?

In the end, the site leaves the door open for an Anderson departure stating: “No one can say definitively at this point that Mike will coach at Missouri next year.”

It seems no one can on either side of The Ozarks can say much of anything — definitively — at this point at all.
