idk what you've been watching. Drink always manages to come up with a competitive offense. at Mizzou. and a defense.

I'm not saying he's my first choice. but you could do a lot worse. I would'nt be disappointed

Not saying much considering the state of the conference.

Yeah, that’s weird. It’d be like hiring Michigan State’s coach.

He’s 1-9 vs top 10. And already making 9mil. Pass

He has been there 4 years, and has been a farm system with both players and coaches. His program keeps ascending despite losing coaches regularly. Usually a sign of a good coach.

Blake Baker - LSU DC
Steve Wilks - NFL DC
Bush Hamdan- Boise / Kentucky OC
Casey Woods- SMU OC
DJ Smith- App St DC
Marcus Johnson- Ohio St OL assistant
Zac Woodfin- Tenn Titans S&C


-He has had two different RB's lead the SEC in rushing(Badie / Schraeder), and a WR (Luther Burden) that would have done it if not for Malik Nabers

Has regularly had really good OL's:

-Right now, has OT2 & OT3 tackle in the SEC, as rated by PFF.

- That is after having the OT2 & OT6 in the SEC in 2024.

He's my 3rd choice behind Kiffin and Summrall.

Well put Lester. Actual facts and discussion. But you know that doesn’t fit here.

Let’s just say “hes a goober” and call him a bad coach

That guy would fold under the pressure he would face at LSU. Also LSU fans would dislike him because of his personality

I agree with Lester on this one. The ability to re-stock players and coaches and continue to win is incredibly impressive.

I wouldn't be upset if he was the hire. He recruits pretty well for what is considered a mid tier program and gets the best out of lesser talent.

I mean, it’s Missouri. He also drew UGA as a common opponent when he got the job.

Not a drinkwitz fan. Upgrades from Kelly but his face has a punchability rating of 10/10

He has resources and has been able to bring in talent. Let's check back in a few weeks and see if you'll still consider him

I get it. I think 9mil per is a bigger problem
