as a big time mizzou fan i hold a lot of respect for Mike Anderson, he took our time from the ashes to become a competitive elite basketball school. the only thing i was mad about was the way he left. he said he wanted to stay a tiger for years to come and left a week later. not to mention the fact that he didnt even bother to do a press confrence. but im over that now. good luck in arkansas and i hope to someday play u guys.
As a Mizzou fan. You felt betrayed. You felt like the unwanted step son. It was hard. He had just said that he wanted to retire here. You felt stabbed in the back.
As time has passed, you understood more. He really was "coming home." This was the one job that CMA would have Mizzou for, and I truly believe that. Whether he is a great bball coach or not, that remains to be seen, but Arkansas gained, and Mizzou lost, a great PERSON when Mike Anderson came back.
@mizzourahtigers Its good to see that not all Mizzou fans are bitter about Mike leaving, and understand that he would probably leave anywhere to coach at Arkansas.
Welcome home coach.May Razorback nation begin to heal all the wounds that were left open on your departure.The bonus will be we get to see your team on the court.
As Mizzou fan I'm thankful for what CMA did for us. I understand why he returned to Arkansas however the way in which he went about it was less than impressive for a coach I once thought to be one of the classiest in all of college basketball. If you're going to leave don't spend three weeks telling the school you're at that you are staying.
@procircuit844 He did do the same thing when he was at UAB. Said he was happy, wanted to win a national title.. then committed to mizzou 4 days later.
I'm a die hard Mizzou fan and I hold no ill will towards CMA. He left us in a better condition than when he arrived. I totally understand him wanting to be in Ark. It sucks but we will find another up and comer with a system we'll come to love.
I love this video. Thanks for posting it. I look forward to good things with Coach Mike Anderson and Razorback Basketball. I think we finally have coaches who are winners for both football and basketball.
I was thinking the same thing Daniel. They should have played this video. So awesome to see so many there just to welcome Coach Anderson home. Lathon and I were there. We had about 5,000 less than Mizzou averaged in paid attendance this year. #FanSupport
@joshuakeith8....Yea I get notified when someone comments. All Mizzou fans who get on here to tear down Coach Anderson, you will be blocked and your comment removed. Thanks for playing!
@LILJOEY201 Thanks. If the situation were reversed I would be happy for Mizzou. It's just a beautiful story that would make me smile no matter where it happened. I hope you guys find a great coach and I wish Mizzou tremendous success.
@RyWilliamsEliteEdge im so glad we got him back home at Arkansas. I dont live in Arky anymore (minnesota now), but im still a die hard Hog, and im so glad that we got Anderson back to get us back to where we were. I tell you this, he will have us back in a final 4 in under 5 years, you can bet that. Hes a winner, thats all he does. This is Nolan all over again, all the good and none of the bad lol. I miss Nolan alot, as he was the hogs coach when i was a little boy(mid 80s).
Did you hear that? I heard a collective sigh come from 11 SEC school fan base. It may not be next year, but Bud Walton will be a placed feared once again. Welcome Home Coach.
@spitball09 I'm just glad that they are doing a big welcome home for him.... I don't remember being this excited for the next football and basketball seasons in the same year.
Arkansas Basketball is a destination job. There are a rare few places in America with a better combination of fan support, facilities and tradition than Fayetteville. Coach Anderson, welcome home and we look forward to March Madness meaning something in the Natural State again.
Man that gave me chills! Can't wait for Hawg Ball to return! BWA will be rockin' and the sleeping giant of razorback basketball will be awakened once again! Wooo Piggg Soooieeeeee
good luck missouri don't be bitter, if mike didn't want to be at arkansas he wouldn't have taken the job. Dust yourselves off and go find the coach you want, cause we got the guy we want!
HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN LET GO! Anderson should have gotten the job after Nolan. He will bring the Razorbacks back! I am so glad he is our new coach. 40 minutes of HELL is Back! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome home mike.......was only a child when you were helping nolan dominate all aspects of the game Can only hope you provide that spark that our fanbase has been without for far to long....all i can say for the sec is "you tell them mikes coming.....and hell is coming with him!!!!!!!"
lmao this coach is such a retard
