Drinks buyout..

I might let him have one more go at an OC

Maybe.

But I like the idea of Missouri being aggressive and getting out in front of his potentially leaving.

Enough.. bye Eli

I've been over him for at least half the season. He is being given top 15 salary and NIL and producing top 25-35 results.

And then he has the gall to act like he needs to be given more, or he'll go somewhere that will provide him top 5 resources. What a clown.

Back to back 10 win seasons padded by easy teams. Recruiting improved as NIL donations improved. Is that anything another decent coach couldn't do at Mizzou?

Why is everyone pissing about "bad year to do a coaching search?" Great coaches aren't going to be on the market any year. The best you can hope is to mine a diamond. No one knew Cignetti would blow up, people doubted Elko after A&M imploded last year. It's always a roll of the dice.

People will say “but the 80s and 90s”

Frick the 90s. Entirely different program now, we actually care and are putting in resources. Tired of this “woe is us” crap. This is 2025. Texas Tech is a juggernaut. Indiana looks as dominant as anyone in the B1G

Find a way to get results, look at the players today and our guys can hang with anyone in the SEC. Find a way to actually win 50% of these “big games.” Drink isn’t doing it

For all you fans scared to lose this mediocre coach consider this.
We can be a program that demands to get to the next level with the resources to do it. OR

We can be the program that was dumped by a mediocre coach and blamed for our lack of resources.

He's another god damned Missouri turtle. Like every god damned coach we've had since Devine. Yes, that includes "we do what we do" Pinkle. Lost all respect for him after the Navy debacle. Stale, predictable offences all. Just sick of it.

Here is some perspective...

1. Drink won't sign a token extension to send the message he is committed to Mizzou.

2. Drink has been offered up to 3 million line item budget for an OC.

3. Drink got 1.5 million for a QB with 56 passes at PSU. Add Horns NIL deal and he has gotten nothing for about 2.25 Million.

4. Drink was paid top 10 coaching money.

After all that, Drink inexplicably picks a fight with donors. Which can do nothing but hurt donations when combined with another year of a terrible offense. Name me 1 top program that would let him get away with that. Mizzou didn't want this fight, Drink did to make himself more attractive to PSU despite his terrible record in big games.

I respect your opinions, Venom. They're always informed and enlightening.

A question... How is asking for major corporate involvement picking a fight with donors? It's not a matter of trying to expand on the already existing base of individual and smaller business donors? I see trying to develop more as a good thing now and moving forward.
