pretty generous. I'd give him a solid B. Retaining waters clearly was a poor choice and Drink's decision making cost the UT game and his playcalling was terrible vs UGA and MSU.

I give a pass until he’s able to field an entire team without Covid worries.

Players were getting worn. Mizzou was missing key players. It was not worth losing the next game due to lack of key players. Many of the players were not suited up for the next game. Good thing Drinkwitz decided to stop the bleeding and get the players to heal up. We shall be happy with 5-5 record and beat out all the newly hired HCs in the SEC this year.

The C- for Walters was extremely generous.

He won't have the Covid excuse next year.

Walters at least had a good defense overall the season before Drink came. I question keeping Haley. He hasn't produced anything. He was lucky to know Jordan Elliot and get that transfer but that's it.

I know the stats say so but his advanced stats, especially passing downs has been horrid under his watch. 3rd and long has been among worst in the country while 3rd and short is pretty stout.

Meant to say Missouri ended with the better record this year over the other SEC HCs that were hired in the same year as Drinkwitz. Mizzou went 5-5, MSU 3-7, Ole Miss went 4-5, and Arkansas went 3-7.
