Can someone show me the actual Drink is leaving...

He's not. I'll self ban for a month if he does.

PSU is floating a trial balloon right now to guage Booster and Fan reaction. You notice their local media is now putting a positive spin on hiring Drink whereas 2 weeks ago it was pretty negative. They don't want a Stoops/A&M situation. They also leaked that Golesh was interviewed.

What concerns me is Drink won't shut it down, take an small extension with a punishing buyout and end the speculation. Also boosters/donors can't get a plan on poaching a new OC for 2026. Do you need 2 million, 2.5, 3?

Maybe he's just focused and accidentally giving off the wrong vibe. But donors are ready to give him what he needs to fix the offense if he stays.

This is the first time he’s had some heat from Mizzou fans while having big time options. The fact he hasn’t shutdown rumors says he’s considering all options. Possibly working for leverage at Mizzou but more likely looking at how he can reset the clock somewhere else. If he stays at Mizzou, that’s a bold statement and believes he can correct some of his shortcomings.

Drink needs to seriously consider other opportunities. If things don't turn around next year, with the fanbase already turning against him, next year we will be demanding his head. He can go sign a long term deal at PSU for same or more guaranteed $$ and get a few more years in the 8 figure club.

IMO he is thinking ahead and gone.

I have followed the Florida coach search and they were all up in arms at the thought of hiring Drink. They were afraid his offense would be mediocre like it has been here at Missouri for 4 out of 5 years since 2021.

Penn State fans may look at him like Florida fans after they think on it a bit.

Personally I'll be a bit jealous if his offense suddenly starts tearing up the Big10
