Quin Snyder out at Missouri

In a move that I'm sure will not upset too many Mizzouri fans, and epsecially not this guy, Quin Snyder resigned today. He was the men's basketball coach. He had a career record of 126-91.

Mizzou under Snyder once reached the Elite Eight when they were led by Kareem Rush, but since then they are only 42-42, including 3-7 in the Big 12 this year. There's been lots of speculation over whether or not Snyder would be fired, so although he said he was going to stay for the remainder of the year, this doesn't come as much of a surprise.

Assistant coach Melvin Watkins will take over as the interim head coach.


Another interesting story comes from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where Mike Vick says he is "a little lost right now." Of course, for a team that's invested over $100 million dollars in him, this probably isn't great to hear. He also said that the knee that he sprained in Week 4 was a little more severe than he let on.

Vick told the AJC that he was a little lost in the offense. Which might explain things. Like Vick's poor passer rating. Vick's a dynamic player, but he really needs to get on track, stay healthy, and become a more consistent passer if they're going to go anywhere. Because with their personnel, they're not that far off from being a legit Super Bowl contender is Mike Vick can play to his potential.
