Serious question: why do some of you detest Drinkwitz and believe he would fail at LSU?

Obviously, he is awkward and nerdy, but other than his unbecoming superficial appearance, do you have a more reasoned basis for your skepticism?

Historically, Missouri has been an atrocious football program, so you have to give him some credit for his success there, notwithstanding his struggles against ranked (and more talented) SEC teams.

Maybe it’s his consistent decline over last 3 years

When you’re at a program that long, is it too much to ask for at least ONE big win?

I don’t expect a winning record versus the Top10, but I would like to see at least one or two wins over teams you shouldn’t have beat.

I'll get downvoted for saying this, but LSU could certainly do worse.

I don’t think he’s terrible by any means. But that would be such an underwhelming hire considering the circumstances

He’d be fine. A lot of people would. I understand people not getting excited about, I wouldn’t be excited, but it wouldn’t be a disaster either.

Now let’s go back to Lane Watch 2025™

People just don’t like saying his last name. That’s 90% of it. Even if they can’t admit it to themselves, that is it in their subconscious

Drinkwitz is 0-15 since 2020 against SEC teams that finish with a winning conference record.

Against ranked teams
2020: 1-4, -97 point differential
2021: 0-3, -75 point differential
2022: 1-2, -35 point differential
2023: 3-2, +28 point differential
2024: 0-3, -69 point differential
2025: 0-3, -10 point differential
Total: 5-17, -258 point differential

Out of the five ranked wins he has during his tenure at Missouri…

beat LSU in 2020, who finished 5-5.
beat South Carolina in 2022, who finished 7-5.
beat Kansas State in 2023, who finished 8-4.
beat Kentucky in 2023, who finished 6-6.
beat Tennessee in 2023, who finished 8-4.

If we end up with Drink I am not watching another LSU football game or giving the university a cent until he is gone

It will be the program’s death kiss and I fully believe that

An upturned mop with a bucket for a head would be better than Brian Kelly.

Anyone not named Kiffin will be considered an underwhelming hire.

Look at his record vs teams with winning sec records and he cried about the playoff mentality. He isn’t man enough for the expectations LSU has

Not sure what it is about Drink, but I'd like to deliver one of these right to his suck hole...
