Mizzou folks: Is Drink on the hot seat?

Three straight losing seasons, is it put up or shut up this year or does he have longer than that?

With the recruiting class he’s putting together for them, I highly doubt it

Cutcliffe was at Duke for around fifteen years with near 80 wins.
Drinkwitch will be fine at Missouri

He’s not on the hot seat. Beating their biggest rival last year bought him a couple of years

Mizzou tends to be more pragmatic most of the time. Think they’re trending up bigtime in recruiting and they’re willing to see what that yields.

Yes

Nope. Program is trending in the right direction. He has made some questionable coaching decisions - Mizzou should have won 8 games last season easily. But he is still young for a head coach - 2nd youngest in the conference, and you hope he is learning from those mistakes.
Mizzou returns almost its entire defense, which was sneaky very solid last year, so it is not a stretch to say it should be a top 10 defensive unit in the country. Offense is still a question mark, but some big transfers were brought in at OL, as well as a promising OC (Drinkwitz will give up playcalling duties for the first time as a HC), so there is reason to expect improvement there as well.
Recruiting continues to be well above the program's historic average. Bringing in local blue chip recruits here and there and in general improving talent level across the board. This year there needs to be improvement, but he gets another year barring a disaster (4 wins or less)

It may not be up to mizzou. Drink might show some promise and leave on his own for greener pastures.

You’re joking surely

I would say he needs to be over .500.
Our new AD doesn’t seem to be afraid to pull the trigger. Bieser didn’t have much support in baseball, but he gone.

Absolutely not.
He's have to have many major players transferring and coaches quitting after this season to be gone.

Mizzou fans are riding that 2-1 record against LSU. Although one of those wins were from like 1979... but it counts. jimbo will be fired before Drinks is.

If the seat is hot, it's because an OU fan farted on it after today's crootin win.

No, they don't really mind losing up there
Posted on 8/14/23 at 8:48 pm to tylerdurden24
I'll say yes. If we look at last season, we blew the game at Auburn, could have beaten Kentucky if it were not for a roughing the kicker penalty that has now been revised, played Georgia and Tennessee tough, and two pics at Florida doomed us. So last year could have been drastically different, but we lost and, that's that. However, big recruit today who complimented the coaching staff as one of the reason her chose Mizzou over Powerhouses like Gerogia, Oregon, and Tennessee, and less exciting and important people like Oklahoma. So, yes to hotseat, but a winning season likely keeps his job.

Wheels would have to come off for him to get fired.
6-6 would be very disappointing, would be going into next year on the hot seat.
Most are expecting another solid defense and jump in offense with new OC.
8 games is expected out of this group. Thats a good step forward that isnt a crazy prediction. They play 4 top 20 preason AP teams, beat the others and they are there. 7-5 is still showing improvement but will start questions if he really can make the jump.
This is the best overall roster, especially depth, Mizzou has had since SEC East Champ 2014. 2018 maybe with Lock at QB could compete as QB is so important. At the end of the gotta show it on the field.

assuming serious:
looks like he has good coords in place, and gave up playcalling.
If the OC chooses and handles the QBs, that is Drink's biggest weakness gone.
If it looks like forward progress this year, and with the recruiting, the wins won't exactly matter. Just the corner to turn being in sight.

Deserves a lifetime contract for getting Mullen fired.

absolutely. Drink needs to hit 5-3 SEC record to save his job.
