4 years is enough time to show growth in the program. Skidding sideways through all of it doesn't equal to growth. We're not going to get Arky delusional here, but I think it's realistic to expect competent QB play and 7-8 wins by now. Not too much. Still not going to rule it out. Maybe the new OC will save Drinkwitz from himself by the KState game. You can qualify for a bowl while still nearly being dead ass last in the SEC East. Barely qualifying to lose on a Tuesday bowl isn't a giant barometer of success. Being in the bottom of the standings year in year out is enough justification, and it's only going to get even harder starting next year. Sonny Dykes wanted the job the last go around (oof that one stings rn) and well he didn't do too bad last year. Finding a decent candidate isn't impossible and they have an AD that just revived a BB that was comatose. I think we'll be fine. |

Our state legislature just passed the most friendly NIL bill in the nation. That should be incredibly helpful. School officials and coaches can now discuss NIL with prospects. In state high school kids can now immediately start getting paid once they sign with an in state school. That means in February if a MO high school student signs with Mizzou, then they can start getting paid while in high school. That's pretty huge for families and kids that are barely making ends meet. This has gotta increase the amount of in state kids that we pull in.

While I am anti-Drinkwitz at this point, I'd prefer to be wrong and Garcia or Horn are starting and they do move forward. The program needs the stability, I just don't think cutting the programs future in the knees is worth that stability. |

Hey BryanBusby - do you think the NIL money will flow soon and flow heavy when the program has a real pulse again?

It's my thing lol. I've been calling him Drinkspiss since last season and I'm far from the only person that has given coaches nicknames. Hell, Duncan gave Cuonzo a "clever nickname". You clearly have more faith in Eli, than I do.

We'd have all called Harsin a HR hire yet you put no stock in the fact that Harsin trusted Drink enough to bring him from stop to stop and promote him? I know he ran a heck of an offense at NC State with little more than Ryan Finley at QB - you think he can't get a Ryan Finley in here? Bottoming out doesn't get you good draft picks in college football, folks. It puts you in the beginnings of a death spiral that can take DECADES to recover from - ask Kansas. You're more accepting of that possibility because you think we should be competing for championships in the SEC. Frankly I'm just not sure why. This program doesn't have NEAR the resources that the UGAs, TNs and FLs of the conference do, let alone Alabama, LSU or A&M. But an area you're seeming to not want to acknowledge, where Drink is making significant roads, is securing those resources. He's very popular among boosters and folks that can bankroll some of these steps into the higher levels of the SEC. But I'm not going to pretend like Mizzou is college football royalty where 8-9 wins should be considered a disappointment. It just isn't that program. And you can put your bets on the next hire being the guy that annually puts us in the hunt for the SEC championship if you'd like, but if you want to stack odds, the odds OVERWHELMINGLY favor the next guy being someone who puts us in the basement of the SEC vs. puts us in the driver's seat. The risk/reward ratio just isn't there at all. "I guess I just have higher standards" - no, you simply lack a fundamental grasp of the reality on the ground. And a serious impulse control issue. |
