Anderson Dismisses Rumors

Mike Anderson to stay at Mizzou
by MizzMatt - 3/20/2011

Mike Anderson is 111-57 at MU.

Columbia, MO- Mike Anderson is staying at Mizzou.  He's not going to be the head coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks.  He's stated repeatedly that he isn't going anywhere.  So why all the hullabaloo over the past few days?

Jimmy Sexton, Anderson's Memphis-based agent, started the rumor that Anderson was leaving to try and get more money from the University of Missouri for his client.  According to Anderson's contract, Sexton cannot legally be in contact with Arkansas.  Missouri athletic director Mike Alden hasn't come out with any information regarding Anderson, and for good reason.  It's not true.

Anderson, who became the fastest coach at Mizzou to reach the 100 win mark in just his fifth season, told reporters earlier this week he "isn't going anywhere", just a few short weeks after he addressed the Missouri state senate stating that he would "bring a national championship to the state of Missouri."
