Drink prediction

He hired an OC and is improving the QB talent. 6 wins keeps him safe the seat gets hot if it's only 6 wins next year. Patience is needed here. Just copy UK and we will be fine.

Need to get to 7 wins this year. Anything less than that and I'd be okay with parting ways. I believe we will get there. OL is the only thing I could see keeping us from having a breakout year, all the other pieces are in place

I agree with. 7 wins has to be the line. 4 years of 6 wins is a trend that is showing what he is.

Luckily I see 7 wins.

south Dakota, Memphis, MTSU, KSU, Vandy, USCe, Florida.

his SEC record has to improve. If not, he gone. this many years w/out improvement would be unacceptable.

His record is clear and those close unexplainable losses have happened since his first year.

there has been no improvement in SEC record.

You're both right. He has not improved him SEC record. But he has improved in SEC play by putting us in position to win games. I'm not saying that deserves credit, but its worth noting and keeping an eye on. Its time to flip some of those now.

He's 7-7 at Mizzou in games decided by a TD or less. Would be 8-6 if Mevis could connect on a 30 yarder in the middle of the field, or if Peat could simply hold onto the football.

In comparison, in close games at Mizzou:

Odom: 4-9
Pinkel: 27-25

Mizzou hired a very young, green coach and he's shown that inexperience in his first three years in the SEC, the best conference in the country. You don't fire someone like that for going 3-5 in this league a few times. He will most certainly improve with time. He's shown that he can make a great coordinator hire and hopefully Moore will be the next one. He was recruiting really well before NIL undercut that a bit. His response, loading up on high-quality transfers has shown good adaptability.

Last year, Mizzou's point differential improved by 58 points and, as mentioned, he was very unlucky not to go 4-4 in the SEC. And, all of that with no QB being handed to him, unlike his predecessor.

I think Coach Drink is going to be just fine at Mizzou.

Isn't that a good reason to give him more time? The OL coach is now gone! I guess you don't want to give him the time needed to be successful. He is making progress. I am happy those things are falling in place now. If not this year it will be next year, he shall have the team winning more than 7 games.

Just need a decent QB. Hard to judge him until we land one.

Of course that is also on him.

Let's put some perspective on last year. Drink had his team ready to face 2, 1st round draft pick QBs and 1, 2nd rounder and a QB that ended with 2 Nattys, and a 5 star blue chip QB. Drink had Cook.
