It was how it went down. He went out of his way to announce he was staying on twitter. He also had a Cotton Bowl interview where he expressed how happy he was at Mizzou and working for Drink. Stated he wasn’t really interested in other jobs. I think many felt stabbed in the back. The conversation is slowly changing to the coaching search.

The guy took another job because he felt it was best for his family. Bump in salary, closer to family etc. Good for him.

Yes I would have liked if he stayed for continuity. He did a nice job with some very good talent. I’m cautiously optimistic that this could be a win win for both LSU and Mizzou.

Bingo - the guys last post was the sacred “I’m not f*%#ing leacing!” Gif and then literally leaves.

Additionally there’s already serious speculation that he has pre-recruited several of our players to jump with him in April.

And let's be honest, this season coupled with Drink's impressive recruiting and portal work, has for the first time since Pinkel given Mizzou fans the sense that it could be sustainable. It's nothing personal against Baker, it's just the last thing anyone wanted was a defection from the formula of what worked.

Who knows? Drink may find a DC better than Baker. He proved with his 2023 staff he's good at recruiting coaches too.

I mean the situation changed once LSU fired their staff.

I would assume this was a situation like Denbrock with Notre Dame where it was one of the few jobs he would've left for.

Welcome to professional football Mizzou. shite happens. If your coaches are getting other offers you know you have arrived. We just lost Denbrock to ND. You move on and hire the next guy.
