And I hope he's feeling a deep connection with Mizzou. I've always been a believer in Drink. He has some serious skills as a HFC and I think he's got the desire to take the next step.
I'm thankful for Drink and the stability today has brought for our team...well for at least another year, anyway.

I don't even care, he could have left and I would have been good with it. I absolutely hate when coaches try to leverage the university for more money.

Hopefully he's discovered that no one else wants his stagnant offense, and that the only way he gets more in the future is to make changes.

I hate when coaches get paid way more than their results.

The true madness is just getting started. By the time this cycle ends Drink might be at the bottom of the pay scale.
Insanity.

PSU dumped him as a candidate because he kept losing and his offense is inept. He needs Mizzou and Mizzou needs him. So for me the question is how does he respond.
Does he become a true SEC HC and get an aggressive, innovative OC for the 2026 schedule?
Does he take his 11 million a year and think he must be doing things right. Buy a new Maybach and live like he is the next Saban.
The OC hire will tell me if im happy he stayed.

This last month has pissed me off and made me doubt him a bit, but the alternative was a road my old arse doesn't want to go down. A total regime change is not what we need right now. This program is still ascending.

I'm with you on all that.

I pray for a new offensive system and for him to just truly take on being a CEO HC that defers to his betters on defense and offense and ST.

Amen, let's eat.

Yes please.

When will the record start ascending? It is in a downward direction the last couple seasons.

I tend to compare things to when I was in college in the first half of the 90s. There have been mountains and valleys since then and it doesn't feel like we're headed into a valley. I feel like Drink has the ability to keep this thing going in the right direction, upward. I'd rather stay on this course right now as opposed to starting all over.

I hope so too. But considering he just got a raise that puts him near top 5 status, it seems more likely he'd mentally respond as if he's doing everything right and they wanted more of the same.
The OC next year is more important than retaining Drink for me.

This is where I've been for weeks.
Hire an OC with fresh ideas, work the portal hard, and keep turning every stone for a top flight quaterback.
Hopefully we catch a break and Trotter stays and they reload the D around him.

I hope so. Considering everything that's happened donor, fan, NIL and facility wise over the last 6 years that would have never happened under Barry Odom (or an Odom type), Mizzou has taken massive steps forward to seriously compete in the SEC.
Even if he eventually leaves or gets fired, the energy and buy-in generated during his tenure will be a lasting positive.

Odom inherited a really bad time to take over the team. Between Pinkel leaving and the protests, his job was to take the program back out from the dark ages. I'm just saying 9 wins, maybe even 10 would have been possible with him. Our program is more sustainable than you guys give it credit for.

Not a chance. The QB and WR recruiting was bottom of the SEC.

Yeah, well we stained our shorts through the 80s and 90s, but I'm not sure we su-stained much else. I know the history of our program going back to the late 50s. We can definitely do a LOT worse than the last 2 seasons.

While I think poor play calls and special teams cost us at least 2 games, the fact is we are were we were predicted to be preseason. And the biggest question now was the biggest question then: QB.
Fix the offense, Drink, and you're worth the money. If you don't, you're not.
