Please don't let it be Cheryl Burnett or any other former coach who has no experience as an A.D. Missouri State is on a level now where an experienced assistant or associate A.D. at a high level D-I school would entertain this as a great, first time A.D. job. Nietzel does seem like a guy who will go outside the Missouri State family/favorite to get the best qualified applicant (i.e. Terry Allen, Coach 'Zo; but not Nyla Mileson, local favorite). I hear Barry Hinson is available.

P.S. Bill Rowe's unwillingness to fire Barry is the reason why I think it is a positive that he is retiring. Nietzel had to pull the trigger himself, which isn't his job.
