Wakeup, Drink is a loser.

Losing a close game to UGA and you are saying all other SEC games will be a loss and only NM State will be the only win for the rest of the season. That is sad and you must really want Drinkwitz gone.

Sad is Drinkwitz's record. He's a rookie like Odom. It's going to end the same way. Why prolong it?

---

You think he will never change? He didn't get the quarterback he wanted. Plus, the OL and receivers were not quite ready. I will give Drinkwitz another year to get the offense going. If he still struggling, then it will be time to make a change. No reason to fire him when recruiting and the defense is doing better. I remember years ago it takes time to get all the pieces. Look at Michigan. The HC was there for like 6 years. This year he is able to keep winning and play competitive football. You don't go out and fired people without given time. I guess Odom was a good example. He wasn't! Not the same thing. Odom couldn't recruit. Plus, he lost games when he shouldn't have in his 4th year against Wyoming. He beat that team 2 years before in a blowout fashion. He was going backwards. Also lost to Vandy in his last year. Drinkwitz is nowhere near that. I guess you need to let this go and wait for next year if you still think Drinkwitz is a bad HC. He might be able to win 5 more games. It depends on how the Vandy game goes. If he gets Cook going in the right direction or have Horn playing and makes it worthwhile. I am sorry you think Missouri roster should be loaded with 4* and 5* and high 3* talents. How is he going to do that in a short time? He is doing it the right way. Some like to go all out on portal and it is not good plus he did try get a quarterback from the portal and it didn't work out. Horn is his best chance for later this year or next year. I guess you not seeing the progress so far and Cook isn't the answer. What can he do right now throw in Horn and that might backfire.
Many was very upset with the way the defense played last year. I am pretty sure Drinkwitz must've spend a lot of time with the new DC to get the defense fix. I am not upset with that. The offense was going to take a step back due to not able to find a good quarterback from the transfer portal. He must've no choice to use Cook up to this point and not use Horn. I have no knowledge of why Horn was not given an opportunity to play so far. I do not know the situation and I will never know the reason.
Next year I believe Drinkwitz will ease up spending time with the DC since the defense has been lights out better.
He probably will spend a lot more time trying to get the offense fix. I am not sure if he will make a hire or two for the offense or whatever is needed to get the fix. This will be in year 4. That shall mean a much better team overall. Defense is now respectable, and the offense may surprise other teams next year since it shall be much improved offense and possible scheme change. I think this is what I predict will happen next year. That is why you give Drinkwitz another year.

Absolutely no reason to retain him after another sub .500 season.

The "we are a QB away" is the biggest myth of Drinkwitz entire tenure here.

Brady is average nothing more, nothing less. We've won games 7+ games with a defense and running game this good with a service-able qb ala - James Franklin style.

You guys act like he's Corbin Berstresser.

Also, drink HAS to get credit for the baker hire right? That looks like one heck of a find.

I think there is a good chance Drinkwitz would stay like Gary Pinkel did. Why go elsewhere when you got pretty much everything you need right here in Columbia. Kansas is going to lose the HC at the end of the year for sure. Drinkwitz on the other hand is similar to GP and that is a good thing and should get the team to be good next year or two. I mean a really good team.

This is retarded. Drink isn’t getting fired this year. And he shouldn’t be.

---

I agree. Though, I wish they would force his hand and push him to get an OC. I think he is much better at the management/recruiting side than he is calling offensive plays.

I’m not sure it’s to the point that force is required.

I’m sure the AD is going to (and is) making suggestions.

In the end, his record and fan engagement will drive his future at Mizzou.

Are you agreeing if Drinkwitz goes 6-6, 5-7, or 4-8 he should be fired? I do not. He is making some adjustments but didn't get everything set due to lack of experienced and only a short leach since the first year was a washup. That means he had only 2 years and the first year without Spring game and normal season without any restrictions. Got to give him another year and had to replace two DCs. It is now coming together on offense. No way you fired him when the defense is much improved and then now, he will need to focus a lot more on the offense and there is one quarterback that should be the starter next year if Cook isn't getting it done all the way to the end. Then there is OL that are coming in and others that aren't playing or redshirted. He is getting it moving in the right direction. If you are not seeing it. This year is the quarterback, OL, and wide receivers not getting it done. It doesn't mean it's not fixable. He has the pieces to get it done next year. That is why you will see the situation right now is play it out with what given this year on offense and wait until next year to fix those issues. I believe he is one or two years a way to having a solid team. Including depth and good backups. That is why you need to give him extra year. If the AD isn't agreeing to give him another year, then coaches will steer clear of wanting to replace Drinkwitz. It is that simple all HCs will want the time to get it fix. Drinkwitz wouldn't have had the time to get it fix. Most see it has a 4-year process.

Looking at how the game is being called today, if only we had a quarterback who could throw downfield and get all those PI calls we're leaving on the field.
