Wasting is the right word.
Eli deserves credit for getting kids here with big potential that you really pull for on offense and defense.
He has had a couple of superior defenses with those kids. But he can not field an offense that works against a Top 25 defense without a 2,000-yard-level running back with a good line in front of him.
And even then, his offensive staffs can not come up with enough imagination to develop a game plan/play calling to beat a Top 10-level defense.
Miss State was not the superior team on the field. MU got outcoached on both sides of the ball and the players deserved better.
The offense did what Drinkwitz offenses do, and Batoon had no answers for State's tweaks at the end of the game when we needed to shut them down.
And the refs were sad. State's offensive tackles were tackling our defensive ends better than MU's defense was tackling Bothwell.

This is just not a very smart team. Dumb in many respects. Long season ahead.

Im out.
The key player got shot and that was a bad omen for Missouri and Drinkwitz. If Mizzou had Hardy playing right now we would probably be undefeated.

And just as an example, Simmons, who is supposed to be smart, did one of the dumbest things a QB could do Saturday -- go down with the ball well short of the sticks on 4th down! You never do that, take a sack or throw it away on 4th down. You either put your head down and go for it on the ground if reasonable or throw it downfield past the sticks.
And the coaching staff should have drilled that into his head before the play. Stupidity on top of stupidity.

Another piss poor offensive showing on the road vs a team with a pulse.

Drink has done less with more. Pinkel would have loved to have this talent. Drink needs to figure out his in game adjustments. Usually know outcome of his games before half.

Pinkel wasn't great with the adjustments either. On fact Drink and Pinkel are very similar in their actual as long football acumen. Both were outclassed often, and though likeable men, neither were known for top level coaching skills.

It’s been a minute, but I don’t recall many Pinkel teams leaving red zone with zero points often. That should have been a one score game at half time. Different dynamic starting 2nd half.
Posted on 10/17/26 at 8:16 pm to Arktigers
Pinkel was just good enough to keep a mediocre fan base happy and not bad enough for that same fan base from wanting change. He never won anything, he didn't make coaching changes in order to improve the program or recruiting, he only gets better in hindsight. Drink has jokes, he recruits better but on Saturdays he manages to underperformed. Problem is there is no crystal ball to show the AD which replacement is better than mediocre and which is worse. Would we be Indiana or Arkansas?

Pinkel took over a program that getting an Independence bowl invite and among those receiving votes was a good season. Drink took over a program that had been to SEC championship game. Pinkel did it without NIL. Drink is a good evaluator of talent and recruiter but not same level as a coach.

Nailed it. And that’s why Drink isn’t going anywhere for a long time. He beats the teams he should beat.
He had a chance to really hire an OC to take us to the next level. Definitely blew that. I hope Chip gets shown the door asap (assuming Drink is not still meddling with the offense). He needs to be a CEO and let competent coordinators do their jobs.

Funny
I say these things and am not a real Mizzou fan to the other people who make the same complaints

My frustration is the few completely uncompetitive games each season. I don’t expect Mizzou to win every game but I also don’t expect losing by 3 or 4 scores. More consistency week to week.
Posted on 10/19/26 at 4:56 pm to Arktigers
FEW ?
Mizzou has done it once this year and once last year.
Florida has already done it twice this year after doing it four times last year.
Texas A&M made the playoff last year. They have already done that twice this season and trailed Kentucky by 21 at home entering the fourth quarter.

4 blow out losses in 2 1/2 seasons. Plus performances like Oklahoma last year. Just wanting a little more consistency, especially on offense. His success is result of the talent/recruiting, not coaching. Just my opinion.

That's not equal to a FEW EACH SEASON.
And trails Florida's SIX in 1 1/2 seasons by a few.

I said a few uncompetitive games a season. Not sure what florida has to do with anything. We are only guaranteed 12 a year so I hope each one is entertaining and competitive. I’m done. We can agree to disagree.
