Didn't read all that shite, but caught this.

Know who always had starters on special teams?





Saban.

So did Bill Snyder and Beamer.

That's always hard to say. Was anybody on this forum fired up when the Aggies hired Elko or Indiana hired Cignetti? I don't recall any of that.

All I know is that in nearly 6 years, Drinkwitz has yet to net a signature win in the SEC. Why should that be acceptable anywhere?



Exact same things Auburn fans said when they fired Gus.

A&M spends a lot more money than Missouri, there is nothing that really indicated Elko is a great coach to be honest. He ain't fricking up this year so far, but they've also played the easiest schedule in the SEC, maybe 2nd easiest at best if Ole Miss drops below them this week. We'll see if he lives up to the hype or if he ends up like Drink where 1 week everyone is claiming he's great, and now you are crying about him.

And Cignetti was probably on some peoples radar, he had JMU in the top25 last year in their 2nd year as an FBS team. So if you see a guy like that then that's one thing, but like I said - who are you going to hire? Is there a guy like Cignetti who has a decent history in lower divisions? I don't keep up with those leagues.

There were plenty of reasons to think Elko would be a strong hire. He worked his way up and was known as an Ivy League mind that loved football. He was a very successful DC at Notre Dame and Elko poached him. Jimbo was a rising coach until he lost Elko and our D became very suspect. Then he goes to Duke and befor you know it they are hosting Gameday and playing way above their weight class. They went from being a bottom dweller 3 win team to beating Clemson and winning 9 and then 8 with 2 bowl wins. Still he was at Duke and you can only do so much there. He was the consensus pick by most Aggies because he was a known commodity and culture fit but mainly because he is just a really, really good football coach at a fundamental level who understood how to build a culture.

There weren't a lot of boxes missing there.

Mizzou may be able to find better than Drink but the odds are they will go the other direction. They are just in a tough situation because they are never going to be in the top half of the SEC in resources or recruiting or NIL but the expectation here seems to be they should be able to perform like it. Good luck.

The bar needs to be raised to the next level at Missouri. I give him credit for raising the program to this level. I do not think he's the guy to take it to the next level. You're happy with just beating the teams Missouri is supposed to beat? I'm not. He is being paid at an elite level. It's time to get an elite coach for that kind of money.

---

People have been trying to tell you that Mizzou isn't an elite program. You've bought into this "new era" BS that isn't true.

Mizzou is a pretty good program with a solid coach that has inflated W/L records the last few years vs weak schedules.

You're a back half of the SEC program, in terms of talent acquisition. This isn't me taking shots at Mizzou, it's just the facts of the matter.

If A&M and Indiana can get to the next level, so can Missouri under the right coach

---

I attended both Mizzou and A&M. Many of the football players willing to walk onto A&M are better than your average scholarship Mizzou football player. Add to that the money A&M has and there's no excuse for A&M not to be top 5 every year going forward.

Mizzou pays top 10 HC money. You dont think anyone is interested in that?

---

I could see Mizzou going after Hartline if Drink goes elsewhere

Sorry dipshit, but the opinion of the most retarded arse to ever coon is not taken seriously here.

Hence the reason why Mizzou fans are confused as to why they can never reach "the next level".

Mizzou has the talent to go 8-4 to 9-3 most years. Drink has elevated the program to mid level status in the SEC. We are slowly catching up in facilities and have decent nil money. We are not historically great and getting to the next level is not easy. This season was a bust due to critical injuries. Let's not over react. Until the people in our state become as rabid as the southern states we will not be able to break thru. Baby steps.

Drink thinks he is too. He called his own plays for the first couple of years
he had Dooley for a bit so Napier might fit right in

I think we should convince Kiffin to go back to OC because he was pretty good at that

ETA Ok so Drink didn't have Dooley but Mizzou did!
MIZ!

Drinkwitz is making far too much money for a coach who has never scored a signature win in the SEC. $9 million could land a coach who's better than he is. And beyond his own game day coaching, his OC is not producing, and special teams have never been special under Drinkwitz. There are far too many flaws for a guy making $9 million.

And as I said, Missouri cannot afford to fire him now. But if he gets an offer elsewhere, Missouri should not stand in his way. It's high time to expect better from the football program.
