We already had Brian Kelly. Folks on another board who know him say:

1. His personality is nearly exactly like Kellys. Without the wins
2. Players HATE playing for him but are well compensated
3. He makes 9 million now so we’d have to pay 10+ million to get this guy

This is the booster who wants him, Scott Ballard;

sballard@lsu.edu

Here is Verges email (he will answer)

vousebe1@lsu.edu

You can use the following to beef up your email:

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.


Do your part LSU fans

Drink's a good coach, just wouldn't fit in at LSU.

Would be a good hire for Penn State.

How about just start with the fact that he’s 0-15 in the regular season in the last 3 years against teams that finish over 500

That’s the guy you pay 50 million to get?

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that he’s the guy if/when Lane leaves us at the alter

As many times as it takes for people to understand this guy isn’t worth the top 5 salary and big buyout he will ask for. Drinkwitz isn’t Ryan Day.

Hopefully however many times it takes. You must be pro Drink.

We could be wrong, but I would rather someone else.

Exactly. I would rather take a chance on someone else.

Probably because over the last 3 seasons:

28 wins, 9th most in P4
-19 home wins, 3rd most in P4
-14 SEC wins
-11 wins vs = .500 teams
-5 wins vs Top 25 teams
-3 wins vs Top 15 teams
-22-0 record when favored

Very weird. People like Lester Earl think:

“ 28 wins, 9th most in P4
-19 home wins, 3rd most in P4
-14 SEC wins
-11 wins vs = .500 teams
-5 wins vs Top 25 teams
-3 wins vs Top 15 teams
-22-0 record when favored”

Overshadows 0-15 against SEC teams that finish with a winning record. Don’t take my word for it and look at his Wiki page. He beats cupcakes and average teams. Loses to good one
