Anybody still think Florida would interested in Drink?
ESPN just flashed a stat Mizzou now has 6 straight loss in AP ranked matchups.
Personally I hope Florida or ANYBODY comes after Drink and his $9 million per year salary, top #10 paid coach in the country, but has never deliver top #10 results.
The apologist will blame this loss on Mizzou having to start a #3 QB true freshman, but you have to ask yourself why wasn't the #2 QB available?
Every single time Drinkwitz has a chance to step up, he steps in it. And some of his decisions have lasting repercussions. Like having Craig kick off when most teams have specialists who do that. Like having Horn, a pocket passer mainly, run his only play of the season as a wildcat runner up the middle. Two seasons by 2 key players ended in game one because of stupidity by the coaching staff. And the buck stops with the head coach.
I've been a supporter of his, but sooner or later, a head coach has to produce signature wins in the SEC. Time is running out on him at Missouri. Plateauing is for losers.

The Horn play/injury was by design. It settled any brewing QB controversy. Pretty genius move.

Florida beats a top #10 Texas team and a couple weeks later fires the coach, if Drink beats a top #10 Texas team in Columbia, it would be pandemonium in the streets, the fans would storm the field and tear down the goal post, and the admin would rush to give him another raise and extension.
In Florida beating top #10 Texas gets you a couple weeks, then you get fired.
Drink would never survive at Florida, Penn State, LSU, etc.
Drink is making $9 million per year, tied for top #10 highest paid coach in the country, but Mizzou doesn't expect top #10 results, those other schools do.
Drink is a big fish in a small pond, just keep beating the unranked teams, go to a cupcake bowl, and you make top #10 money.
Agreed — we’re top 10 in money, not top 10 in results. Drink’s done an ok job, and if we could keep him around $6 million with no stadium upgrades and stop cutting capacity to 60,000, that’d be ideal. With all the coaching openings, has he been given an extension yet?

Blaming the coaches for Horn is hilarious. The guy plays two sports in the SEC and has missed time every year. But yea it was the run call that cost him. Surely he would’ve held up for a full seasons worth of SEC wear and tear had he just not run that one play. I’m sure a scramble never would’ve come up this year with the offense humming as it is.
The backup QB cliche is all that is people. Horn has shown absolutely nothing while losing QB battles to Brady Cook and Beau Pribula.

I just watched a video with CBS' Tom Fornelli talking about filling open coaching slots. He expects Kiffin will stay at Ole Miss. No mention of Drinkwitz. His other guesses/wishes are:
LSU--Tulane's HC Jon Sumrall
Florida--Georgia's DC Glenn Schumann
Penn State--Nebraska's HC Matt Ruhle
Virginia Tech--South Carolina's Shane Beamer
Arkansas--South Florida's HC Alex Golesh
OK State--North Texas' HC Eric Morris
UCLA--Washington's HC Jedd Fisch
Stanford--TV and former HC Dallas Cowboys

Barksdale and his People are correct. Injuries happen, you can't blame the coaches.
