So you don't want the coach that has built winners at every stop, but you'll take a guy who's been a DC for 9 games just because he went to LSU.

The LSU fanbase, ladies and gentlemen.

If we're going the coordinator route, Drinkwitz wouldn't be an option. I only want K Shep if we're set on hiring a coordinator.

Drinkwitz is going to be expensive, he loses big games, beats up on weak schedules, and has a weird personality. Feels like BK 2.0.

If you look at his wins at Mizzou, they really aren't that impressive. His best win was probably in 2022 vs 9-4 Tennessee.

He's at Mizzou. To think he couldn't do better with the unlimited budget at LSU is just crazy.

To think somebody who's only been a coordinator for 8 months would do better is even more crazy.
