When your qualification is "he is not a bad coach" that is less than inspiring, does not mean he can't be successful here though, it is just an uninspiring hire

LSU will have to give Drinkwitz a contract approaching Kirby Smart and Ryan Day to take him from Missouri. Talk about an uninspiring hire for that kind of money and buyout.

Yall are acting like this dude is late stage Les miles

He’s 27-8 in his last 3 seasons at Missouri and almost everyone of those losses are to teams like Alabama and Georgia. If that’s the standard, there’s no one to hire

He’s not incompetent like most here make him out to be. There’s really not a whole lot of coaches on the market that would do any better there, IMO.

Is he as good as Ryan Day and Kirby Smart? That’s what he is going to ask for from LSU. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and find a different coach.

we just hired a coach who couldn’t win big games and now you want to hire another one.

if there were a couple of true signature wins on there i would be signing a different tune

Lanes beaten Alabama or Georgia one time at Ole Miss! ONE TIME

And a 10-3 LSU team in 2022. The rest of his ranked wins are against teams like Kentucky and Tulane.

I know it’s not my money but Icant see paying a coach ,LK, more than Kirby or Ryan Day who have NCs on the wall.If LSU wants a LK,ED, they are going to have to pay crazy money.Weve had our last three coach’s get drunk on big dollars and quit giving a shite.

So beating number 24 G5 Tulane counts but beating Tennessee that only lost to Alabama, Georgia, and Florida other than mizzou doesn’t. Got it

So it’s Kirby or bust?

You’re just a retard that thinks coaches should win every game I guess

not at all, if we can hire Heupel or Freeman we should run to do so.

if not, there are coaches with interesting backgrounds who, while not as experienced, how shown a lot of upside and won’t cost $11 million to poach

He’s not incompetent but I just don’t see the appeal especially when you factor in his price tag, he’s not a 10+ mil a year coach

Has two wins against Bama. Other than that, pretty much the same record as every other coach. Beats ranked Kentucky and Pitt, loses to teams better than his.

You’re an idiot

Who cares. Just manage the buyout number

Tennessee was worse off than LSU is now and he got them back to respectability in a place with less talent in state.

It’s also a much more apples to apples comparison program wise than trying to project what the Missouri coach would do here

Drink at least seemingly brings stability and a floor to the program. The guy has won nearly 70% of his games as a head coach and I think people forget how much of a mess mizzou was when he took over.


All of this was the reasoning behind hiring BK

People need to back and look at the response of this board when a 28-21 coach from Oklahoma state was hired.

The big thing is hes doing it at Missouri , which doesnt exactly produce mass in state talent.

Doesn’t mean what it used to. In state High school recruiting has become a lot less relevant. Kids are following the money whether it’s in state are not, plus the portal has reduced the importance of high school recruiting in general. The success of Indiana is a prime example.
