This moron is not going to take this team where it needs to go with his passing offenses. Especially not in the SEC, where good teams can stuff the run and force the pass. Lindsey is from the Malzahn coaching tree as Eli. Same ol' outdated offensive philosophy that Gus made work once upon a time at Auburn with Cam Newton at QB.
Drinkwitz's passing offense history

Re: Drinkwitz's passing offense history
My guess is George McDonald carried the water while he and Drink were at NC State. He is a great offensive game coordinator which is why he was the first coach Kiffin took with him to LSU.

Re: Drinkwitz's passing offense history
Yes to all this. Drink is hardly in the same level as Malzahn, though comes from the same tree. Malzahn had his day, and a championship. Drink collapsed when he had the talent, the schedule, and fourth quarter opportunities to get there.icon wrote: ↑28 Dec 2025 21:19 pm Eli’s own teams ranked by passing yards/game as HC/OC.

I’m glad you mentioned Cam Newton because Newton is the perfect QB for this system. Problem is, there is only one or two Cam Newton’s each generation, a lighting fast and agile 6’5”, 250 lb guy with a rocket arm and great decision making abilities. That is, a guy we’ve never seen here.
We do, however, have some exceptional pocket passers, Sam Horn, Zollers (not Brady Cook). Drink’s development of Horn can be seen as nothing but a failure, spare me the excuses please (blah blah, he’s hurt, he couldn’t beat Brady Cook, he played baseball, blah blah). And now, Drink’s about to break Zollers’s confidence, if not his body, in half. His O Line can’t seem to pass block despite two all-conference members, and the QBs dont seem to be taught how to move within the pocket.
This is the first year in a while we haven’t had Luther Burden and it’s becoming somewhat clear the guy created tons of space, giving his QB a huge margin of error. 8 catches on 9 targets for 130 or so yards in a clutch game for the Bears yesterday.
My point-a Cam Newton can turn an offense into gold. But that dude comes around once every 20 years. In the meantime, other coaches do more with less.
I’d like to see some more accountability and hoping this bowl game lights a fire for change rather than force our coach into a trench he refuses to get out of.

Well said. LB3 is on his way to all pro - getting more and more looks.Mizzoufan443 wrote: ↑29 Dec 2025 07:43 amYes to all this.

Hope is great, but Drink needs to be 'helped' to get there.
