Chad Morris was 0-14 in the SEC and inherited a significantly more talented roster than Drink did.

I get you’re mad, but don’t you guys ever tire of posting this ridiculous nonsense?

At some point, the excuses have to end. Can't live off 2020 forever. This guy is a fraud.

You can’t possibly know that 4 games into his 3rd year. That’s the point. You may think you know, but you don’t. There are multiple instances of coaches who didn’t start off very strong that turned out very good in the end.

People aren’t talking about the end of Pinkel’s tenure (but of course we would be better off had he stayed), we are talking about the beginning where the morons were calling for his firing in year 3 and year 4. The same people doing it now as if they never learn


This isn't comparable to year 3 of pinkel.

Did they have some level of progress on the field in those 3 years?

Eh. Pinkel’s year 4 was pretty bad.

Stoops was 5-7 in years two and three.

As a neutral party I wasn't astounded by Drink's coaching in the game against Auburn. But, before y'all get offended, our coaching staff at Arkansas basically threw feces in the air and shouted "whee" against an A&M team we should have motor boated.

I think Drinkwitz needs to take a step back and look at getting a play caller. It is hard to run a modern SEC program and still be the primary person calling the plays. He is in over his head at the moment trying to juggle too many balls at once.

Unless he goes winless and the team absolutely collapses for the rest of the season what are you going to get if you fire him? See how the season goes, see how things work out.

So this is something Gabe( Power mizzou writer) talked about last week-ish after kstate game.

He was answering what a lot of people were saying about hire a OC/play caller. Not saying I agree with Gabe, but I see the point sorta. He said Drink will not hire either a caller or OC because he was hired due to being a OC / play caller. Hiring someone to do that would be like saying, ha, tricked you guys into hiring me. Its a different AD now so that part of it is like so what. But he was partially hired because he was known to be a good Play caller and someone who could be the OC.

Without the year over year improvement Pinkel had in the first 3 years.

Year 3 was better, then took a big step back in year 4.

That’s when the fire the coach, I know he’s not going to cut it crowd really started ramping up.

Pinkel's first year was better than the year before.

Pinkel's 2nd year was better than his first year.

Pinkel's 3rd year was better than his 2nd year.

At this point, Drink isn't comparable to any of that.

And 4th year was a huge step back and the same “I know he won’t cut it!” Crowd was screaming from the rooftops.

They were wrong then. We shall see if they are wrong now.

You are talking about Kentucky that wasn't a football school. That have now changed. This isn't fair to say give Drinkwitz another year just to do the same as the year before. That is why next year he will need to make a change, or he will be fired at some point next year if things haven't changed from the year before.

I will give Drinkwitz another year with the right quarterback. If it is this current quarterback and he has made huge improvements from now to the end of the year. I do think I see a need to give it another year to fix the OL, quarterback, and receivers issues. Drinkwitz should be getting another year to fix what isn't working and might have to depend heavy on transfer portal to get key players. No need to panic yet. I am not seeing a must replace him by the end of the year. With the new DC things seems to be getting on track. Offense will need time to get players to gel when the OL is set. It isn't that simple to do all this in a short time. Drinkwitz is still has little experiences compare to others. I do not think he is that bad due to lack of key players not being ready or not good enough. Next year will make or break for him and the team.

AD will fire Drinkwitz if he goes below .500 this year.

Not as bad as Kentucky has been for so long. Did win the East twice. Kentucky? Zero.

So you know how to run a football program? I can see Drinkwitz making a huge improvement with the right quarterback and the OL gel, but this year is way off. Give him another year with Horn and we shall see with Drinkwitz getting more experienced in the SEC and figuring out what is needed to be done. If he failed to do that next year then he will be gone. But I do think he is going to get it done since he isn't able to do much with what he has right now.
