He was given an extension and big raise 3 months ago!
The extension was for one year, 2029, with no additonal money for Drink but for his assistants and staff.

If Mizzou keeps playing at a high level in the SEC. Drinkwitz and many of his key assistants will be well taken care of at Mizzou.

He is the 10th highest paid HC and 3rd highest never to be in playoffs or a BC championship.

The other 2 include someone who has 8 super bowl rings and one who has 3 National Championships as an assistant and was a HC in NFL.

I would say he has already been taken care as all of the peers in his pay range are walking around with hardware.

If any NCAA football coach “wins out” they deserve a contract extension.

Why do you think Drinkwitz is so valued then as the leader of the Mizzou football program?

Winning out isn't happening. I just hope they don't lose this weekend, A&M, and OU as are and will be underdogs in each game. A&M might be a pick

He is a good coach and an even better recruiter. To use a Butch Jones quote, he is building something brick by brick, but he is still building and is not an accomplished championship caliber HC. I am not saying we don’t need him, I just think it is ludicrous to be saying he is of the same caliber as some of the legendary level coaches in the league and should be compensated on their level. Someone on here yesterday was saying he should be compensated the same as coaches like Smart, Dabo, Day, etc… which is just foolish.

He's not on the same level as DeBoer or Smart or Kiffin yet.

Another example of someone reading what they wanted to read, just so he can badger the program.

Now, rezero stated Drink got a "big raise" three months ago, but that wasn't true either.
