I found the schedule, so I figured that now is as good of a time as any to start a new thread. Coach Drink has done well turning around the mess that Odom left behind. Solid recruiting has our best commit class in years coming in this year. The schedule isn't bad. A bowl game should be a given. I would like to see 9 -10 wins this year, with one of the wins coming against Arkansas. I really don't like losing to Odom.
Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz called it the best recruiting class ever for the Tigers.
Sure enough, Mizzou's current class is ranked No. 11 by ESPN, No. 14 by 247 Sports and No. 17 by Rivals, the highest in program history [Reply]
The difference between Pinkel and Drink is Pinkel identified and raised great quarterbacks to go along with the athletes. If Sam Horn is that guy drink has a chance. But thus far his picked and groomed QBs have been putrid. [Reply]

Pinkel also had a little known cadre of grad students helping to "quantify" the previously "unquantifiable" and recruit players using those metrics.

People didn’t want to believe me last year but it’s true, the Mizzou coaches are not allowed to discipline anymore. Drink has to play patty cake with the players and you simply cannot compete that way. The line is soft because the coaches can’t do their job, they’re not even allowed to tell the players what they’re doing wrong. The evidence is on the field, I haven’t seen one Mizzou football team show passion and fire in 7 years. [Reply]

Not saying i don’t believe you, but why can’t he discipline them? Who cares if Bobby Lawrence or Zeke Powell gets pissed? Go play somewhere else. It can’t get much worse. [Reply]

I read the rumor on Tigerboard during Odoms tenure, they are very negative on that site but when I watch the games I can see with my own eyes that the rumor is true. These guys don’t show effort, I think Badie was the only player who showed any heart last season.
As for Drink I don’t think he is a very good coach but like Odom he didn’t really have an opportunity to dig in and do his job. I mean look at the guy during the press conferences, he’s absolutely shitting himself, he has to coach with 2 arms tied behind his back.
I just know that Mizzou got terrified after that bad national press in 2015 and went woke. The culture is destroyed and I don’t know who can fix it. [Reply]
