Yes, again, we’re shooting for the moon, we’re going to put our whole self into that, but only 12 teams make the Playoffs and we put ourselves in position in November to be there. Didn’t get it done, I got that. But if the season only counts for 12 football teams, and we got a 127 D1 football teams, that math’s not gonna math very well.
This is him telling the Florida fans to get real thinking they have any chance to make playoffs much less chip in 4 years. Even if Vince Lombardi came back…. But it’s because they are about to hire Drink…. Kiffin get the f*cj outta here

This is Eli's "champions of life" moment...

While I agree with them….theyre also the ones with the agent demanding top 12 money

I like Drink and hope he stays but won't be devastated if he leaves. Having said that I hate what he's saying in these quotes. Drink is paid top level money so it's not wrong to expect top level results which means making the playoffs.

I don't think he is going to Florida, and really believe he was talking to the Mizzou Nation on this one excerpt. For Mizzou fans, it seemed like playoffs or bust for this year, and Drink did the heavy lifting in the portal to get 4 of the best guys to fill 4 spots...yet whiffed on a left tackle, & Pribulea is a solid qb with another year, didn't really play like a "gamer" his 1st year starting. All that to say, Drink fielded a competive team, with an ideal schedule and a top 10 defense, an average SEC oline, and a couple of running backs who just need some daylight. But lost, competitive games to Bama & Vandy...& aTm spanked us. We the fans wanted the playoffs, and victories over Bama, & Georgia. While I'm happy for Vandy, if a court had ruled that Pavia eligibility was indeed gone (like it is), we'd of beat them too.
Drink was kinda being a doctor for the fan base, and walking others back from the ledge. I didn't exactly like how it sounded, but I get it.
But I disagree, after living down here for 2+ decades, there is no reasoning with Florida fans..8-4 sucks to them, 9-3 is meh, and they stop showing up after 2 losses. They burn through coaches, and have a motley crue of boosters with different agendas, and different ways and means to aquire players. Their NIL needs work too..
I think he stays at Mizzou, and does his best work in the portal this year, with 4 SEC schools with coaching vacancies, possibly more if Lane or Shane leave.

so a 4-team playoff created more opportunities than a 12-team playoff?
Drinkwitz is an idiot, and apparently a socialist

"that math's not going to math". Someone needs to teach him English.

We better not end up hiring that clown. He is Mark Stoops 2.0 - benefitted from relatively easy SEC schedules these past few years.

Top tier money at a 4th tier school. The second half of that equation is why hes leaving....not the first half.

I can talk myself into just about any of the names floated. That being said Drink is the one exception.

I hope he does, I think he was talking to current squad as well. Just trying to give it to some of the UF fans that have been unbearable the last few weeks

This is a shite take on UF fans overall but thanks for stereotyping all of us. Hope Drink stays your coach for a long, long time.
We’ve packed all the home games this year regardless of record but you knew that already.

It hasn’t been all of you but buddy Martin & Chris Mathew’s haven’t represented well. I’m in Florida man so probably hear more that most. Been to Jacksonville for decades, went to the swamp for the first time last year and was incredible. Historic

It’s been something like 17 sold out home games, so what are you talking about? If you don’t know anything, you could have just led with that disclosure or not post at all.
