yes, then see the mass exodus of players in the transfer portal. Mizzou do have lots of talent now. Another decent class coming in.

The offense was a downer this year. QB issues and a shaky o-line. QB is the biggest issue. It could be because the QB situation is why the O-line is shakey. Sam Horn hurt again.....

Lane Kiffin is going somewhere. I bet where goes will be a major headache and may not even win anything. He should stay put.

LSU, Penn State, Florida, Auburn to name a few do not realize that times have changed. Spending gobs of money on a coach does not necessarily win you championships. These schools are heading to the wayside with the likes of Nebraska. Remember Nebraska once was a national power.
The courts just ruled that LSU has to pay Kelly 54 million…

I wonder if they are recalculating their offer to Lane…
LSU has been upside down on their last 2 coaches to the tune of $71 million in buyout. And those 2 coaches won A LOT.

Tough gig down there but I guess they can afford to churn these coaches.
In a portal world…the blue bloods are not as blue as they used to be…..

Just this year, LSU, Penn St, Fla, Bama, others all down..

Teams can’t collect players they way they used to…no matter how much they pay the coach…
Bama is playoff bound!

C'mon, he has accomplished fielding a passing offense that is the most boring and feckless since Larry Smith.

Not so fast. Auburn will give them everything they want. I’m not going to be surprised to see that upset happen.

Bama is really good, but not what they were in prime Saban era. Mizzou almost beat Bama this year you’ll recall. We’re right there.

They beat #4 Georgia, #14 Vandy, and #17 Tennessee. Their only loss in the last 10 games has been #8 OU. Their down years are still pretty good.

But - other than that...

Also, he's brought the fans back in droves. MU could give him a raise for that alone.

They say if you can't be good be interesting.

If nothing else Drinkwitz has been interesting.
