Anderson’s Contract at Mizzou requires that he “Downplay” losses
I wish that my work contract *required* me to make excuses for the folks that depend on me. Actually, that would probably breed mediocrity, so I don’t *really want it. But it would be nice to have in the back pocket I suppose.
Here’s a list of some of the bizarre requirements contained within Anderson’s contract with Mizzou:
_”maintain a mature and rational attitude, keep emotions in control and downplay defeats”;
_”establish and maintain a frequent and systematic program of personal communication with the university’s administration, faculty, staff and student body”;
_make a minimum of 30 public appearances at booster lunches, alumni dinners and similar community events.
Whose standards are we using to define “mature and rational?”

My favorite is the $250,000 bonus if they win the national title…why not make it a good number like $250,000,000,000,000,000?

Inside the Mizzou board meeting:
“Anything else we should include in this contract?”
“Is there something about his behavior?”
“Well, sure, there’s the usual professionalism that we expect -”
“No, no - I want something more specific.”
“Specific?”
“Remember that video of Snyder?”
“What video? Oh, wait - you mean…”
“Yes, THAT video. Put something in about he can’t sing to the players.”
“How about ‘mature and rational’? Do you think that covers it?”
“Not really, but it sounds better. Just make sure you tell him.”
“Got it - ‘don’t sing to the players.’”
“Especially that song. On videotape…”
