Drink is the right man for the job

Yeah, I'm disappointed. This season has kinda sucked TBH. But I still think he's the dude to get it done here. He has flaws, needs to figure out the offense. But he's in his early 40's learning on the fly as a (almost) first time HC in literally the toughest conference you can imagine.
I'm frustrated, I'm sure y'all are too. But losing Drink would be a massive step back for this program. Reading a lot of doom and gloom right now across all the Mizzou websites right now, and I get it. But feel like we need to keep perspective as a fanbase.
Drink isn't taking another job, nor do we want him to. We keep on grinding forward.

No, he isn’t. His record vs competent teams is pathetic.

What was Pinkel's?

Pinkel is not the measuring stick. He was measurably better than drink though.

I agree we should keep Drink as long as we can. Florida and LSU have shown how risky coaching changes are. Another example is Nebraska firing Bo Pelini because he only won 9 games every year. How did that work out?
Gary Pinkel changed his offense to the spread when he realized that was what he had to do to compete in the Big 12.
That was a different time so who knows if Drink needs to change anything on offense.
SEC teams are shutting the offense down though. There should be alarms and bells and whistles sounding in the coaches offices.

Mizzou is like Ole Miss. Both programs are only good because of an influx of money. But neither has won a damn thing. Looks like Ole Miss may break through.
Drink is at a crossroads which is why he may seriously consider PSU. He gets donors to donate. He gets his bags for the portal. But he's excited donors who now want to see results. The Bama game was supposed to be the beginning of a breakthrough year, but he's produced the same lackluster result vs good teams.
So now the Mizzou job gets tough. Results matter. He can go to PSU, build their NIL. Donors will get excited, and it will be 5 years before the results start to matter.

Ole Miss is definitely steps ahead of us. They have wins over teams like Georgia and Alabama. Their record vs good teams is markedly better. They have done it with less nil than drink gets.

I agree on Drink, but Moore has to go. We need an experienced (Power 4) OC in that position.
Drink has been a decent QB away from “name brand” wins. If he can’t figure that out, he won’t win anywhere. That’s the only question mark I have about him now- unless he keeps Moore.

When did Ole Miss beat Bama?
Posted on 11/8/25 at 9:56 pm to MizzouTrue
They beat uga last year.
Posted on 11/8/25 at 9:56 pm to MizzouTrue
Freeze did when boosters bought him the #1 recruiting class. The Robert Nkemdiche years. We actually went to Oxford for a night game and beat that team.

Kiffin never beat Bama
Ole Miss should’ve made the playoffs last year but choked against Kentucky and LSU
This year they’ve avoided the inexplicable loss

He beat uga. Regular season wins over either Georgia or Alabama are equivalent over the last 10 years. We don’t have a single one to our name since pinkel did it with a backup true freshman qb. Hell, I am not sure drink has played either as close as Odom did but I am not certain on that.

Drink had a 4th quarter lead over 15-0 Georgia back in 2022. Lost 26-22
And 27-24 was our closest result vs Alabama this century
I don’t remember Odom ever playing either of those teams close. Odom had Drew Lock for 3 years and his best team went 8-5 (should’ve been 10-2)

Lane Kiffin has been a HC for a long time. You can't compared Drinkwitz to Kiffin.

I think this is the wrong perspective.
Drink might or might not be the guy who gets us to the playoffs. But he’s our coach now and there’s no reason to change that.

Pinkel went 14-2 in 2013 and 2014 respectively in the SEC i don't see Drink accomplishing that .. also I don't know what they've been doing for last two weeks but Zollars was not prepared properly.. when you coach elite athletes (which I have) you don't have to do much except pay attention to the details and they did not the last 2 weeks ..very very disappointing

Pinkel has been a HC longer than Drinkwitz's.

And Drink recruits better but still has done nothing with it

I'll put up a grand that Drink doesn't get half of what Pinkel did.
All Drink has to do is half of Pinkel's accomplishments:
1 SEC Championship appearance.
1 Most wins at one of his schools he coaches at.
Who takes this bet?
