We, myself included, all used that justification for Barry Odom as well.

Odom was way more dedicated to Mizzou than Drink will ever be, but who cares. If Drink takes a bigger job that will mean he’s won a bunch of games here

Some HCs might stay if he is doing very well. Earlier this week there was talked about getting a new facility for football. He said it will help attract top recruits to go to Missouri. That is good to hear. Boosters and State of Missouri got to listen or else he will leave in a few years. He wants a winning culture and program but, to make that happened long term you got to get the facilities to compete with the rest of the top football programs. I did remember some boosters backed out when Missouri got into trouble and Odom was the HC and that was for football facility. This time Drinkwitz mentioned he was glad Missouri and boosters were interesting with the idea of having a new football facility. He said will help with attracting top recruits to Missouri. If that happens get done he probably will not leave. As long Missouri listen to him and give what is best to give him a chance to compete in the SEC. That is one way to keep the HC. Paying him what others willing to pay to get him may not work because of facilities are not up to standard to compete for top recruits. That is why Missouri sucks in recruiting classes all those years!
