At least Rhule had college experience at Temple and Baylor as a HC.

Daboll is a problem...

No NIL experience and PSU trying to modernize and catch OSU in NIL.

No portal experience

No recruiting

Couldn't develop Daniel Jones and his offense got progressively worse year after year.

1 season of CFB almost 10 years ago.

Replacing a fired coach with another fired coach.

I don't think people are turning on him. Donors actually want to give him what he needs to grab a P4 OC. I think people are pissed about the total lack of offense since SEC play but they know that's Moore.

PSU is floating a trial balloon right now to guage Booster and Fan reaction. You notice their local media is now putting a positive spin on hiring Drink whereas 2 weeks ago it was pretty negative. They don't want a Stoops/A&M situation. They also leaked that Golesh was interviewed.

What concerns me is Drink won't shut it down, take an small extension with a punishing buyout and end the speculation. Also boosters/donors can't get a plan on poaching a new OC for 2026. Do you need 2 million, 2.5, 3?

Maybe he's just focused and accidentally giving off the wrong vibe. But donors are ready to give him what he needs to fix the offense if he stays.

Plus Micah Wilson who was a QB but switched to WR. Scored a TD vs LSU when we beat them at home. Drinks first big win.

This Marriot kid is really growing on me.

Drink has raised the program expectations and profile. Taking the Missouri State coach is a letdown. Losing our coach to PSU is a big deal for Mizzou. Shows we are doing something right.

Also we've become accustomed to top 25 recruiting. Anyone want to go back to the days of 1, 4 star recruit? We need a coach who expects to land blue chips or NIL donations will dwindle.

Remember A&M trying to hire Stoops? Once the Boosters got wind of it, that offer was quickly rescinded. We aren't A&M but sentiment is still the same. People donate to be a part of something great. It's not about sport. The Cardinals and Chiefs take care of that.

OK, that explains where the boosters got it from.

The AD will have to get the OK from Sunvold and his committee. That's what happened when we got Drink. Sunvold rejected the first uninspired list.

Eli's after game press conference is a clue. He took 100% ownership of the loss. Didn't mention holding any coach accountable it was all him.

When he goes to PSU the narrative will be it was his fault for being more distracted than he was admitting. But he wanted to be there for this last Senior Night.
